Canbet Casino calls it a day

Canbet Casino will be closing its doors on 30 June 2011.

The announcement came rather suddenly with a notification going out to affiliates on the same day as the planned closure.

Canbet will continue to operate it’s online wagering and sports betting service and players’ accounts are fully functional.  It’s only the online casino side of the business that will shut down, including the Microgaming powered live dealer casino.

We received an email from Canbet today saying,

“Please note that as of today, 30 June 2011, Canbet Casino will no longer be operational. The decision was made to re-focus on Canbet’s core business of Horse Racing and Sports Betting, and this means that all available resources will be diverted to these channels.”

Microgaming powered live casinos that are still up and running include Royal Vegas and AllSlots.
