Winamax, the France-focused online poker and sports-betting operator, has stopped serving customers from the Netherlands. Dutch users were informed of this decision on April 11, and their accounts were immediately locked.
And here is a copy of the email sent out to players:
We are contacting you today in regards to your Winamax account.
We have deduced that your postal address and/or bank details registered to your Winamax player account and the IP addresses you are connecting from are located in the Netherlands.
All gaming operators that want to offer their services to players living in the Netherlands must hold a licence issued by the local gambling commission. As Winamax does not hold such a licence, your player account will be permanently closed on Monday, 30th of April 2018.
More consolidation by country. More fracturing on a global level. Less fun for the poker players who will soon have less people to play against. Would be nice if this trend would reverse. Here’s the source article.
