NetEnt pulling out of Canada

[Engineer]

From Guts this morning (bolding by me):

Yesterday we had to block NetEnt games from Canadian customers as they are no longer allowed to play them. It was a decision made by the game provider and out of our control.

I haven't heard from any other companies besides Guts, but if this is true, I guess Canada is left with only Microgaming, RTG, and maybe Playtech?

This is really old news, net net pulled out over 1 year ago.

Wow, I guess I missed it!

I had no idea they pulled out a year ago either...

That's not true at all!

Guts have JUST announced they are pulling out (i.e. NOT a year ago).
Dozens of other casinos still supply NetEnt to Canada, and AFAIK none have said they are pulling their games.

There was a thread at CM about Videoslots pulling NetEnt from Canada in January LAST YEAR:

VS stated then, that NetEnt had said Canada was "a Black Listed Territory".
However, up until now, all other casinos that I know of have continued to supply NetEnt games to Canadians (which the exception of a few specific Universal Studios licensed games).

Who knows what is really going on?
No me!
Must remember to as the operators at AAC next week...

Was surprised to find out as well. Have to say I don't really understand why. I mean Micro are there so what's the problem. Not sure how entering US is related.

Guys

just checking our records we shut down Canada in Sept 2014 on the instructions of Net Ent, it would be pretty weird if we had been the only company that had been told to block it.
