All these gambling sites were powered by the most quality software developed by Microgaming. However, just several days ago a significant change happened. There had been much talks and gossips that something like this was gonna happen, however nobody expected the switch to occur so fast and seamless. Read the details below.
As far as you know from our previous articles, Microgaming has left American gambling market after that much-talked-of case with the seizure of casino domains in Kentucky state. Since then online casinos powered by Microgaming software haven’t aссepted new US players to sign up there. However, existing gamblers could still continue playing Microgaming games for real money. Players Palace, Grand Mondial and Casino Share were powered by Microgaming as well and still had a lot of players from the United States of America. However, several days ago Microgaming revealed the shocking news that all these gambling sites would be switched to the Betware software platform.
Betware has been operating in gambling business for 14 years already, however it has always been focused on state lotteries more than casino games. It is a member of such major lottery organizations as the European Lotteries and World Lottery Association. This developing company is based in Iceland with local offices in Spain,Canada, Denmark and Poland, by the way. It has a respective license of Kahnawake online casino jurisdiction. Therefore, all US visitors of gambling sites listed above will be seamlessly transferred to the new platform provided by Betware. Microgaming representatives claim that American gamblers have absolutely nothing to worry about. They won’t even notice the change because no download of additional software is required and the existing casino account will be still used. As for the basic features, new platform will be as stable, innovative and safe as Microgaming software platform. Most of the games will also stay the same while some minor changes will be noticeable.
All US players will be transferred to the gambling portal called CasinoShare US that was established on May 17. All US visitors of CasinoShare casino have already been diverged while players of Grand Mondial will be transferred there in the end of May only.
If you wonder about the reasons of such a decision of Microgaming developing company, then the answer is quite evident. In advance of the enforcement of the UIGEA Act scheduled on the first of June, Microgaming tries to minimize its presence on the US gambling market. UIGEA is expected to come down harshly on US casino operators. Licensing its products to the Betware, that operates completely independently, allows Microgaming to stay away from all the possible problems. At the same time, Microgaming representatives claim that they will be supporting all acts and bills aimed at legalizing of internet gambling on the territory of the United States of America. Once online casinos are legalized there, Microgaming will be happy to enter this profitable gambling market all over again.
