Slots24.com closes due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act

3 Nov 2006

Due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, Slots24 closes. Their statement is as follows:

Due to the legal pandemonium in the United States, with regards to the new "Internet Gambling Prohibition and Enforcement Act" Bill (HR4411), the detainment of several senior online-casino representatives in the US, and that given the majority of revenue from Slots24 is US based, we have unfortunately had to make the decision to close 'Cash Play' on Slots24.

This will allow us to focus on our successful Lottery product (www.lottery24.com) and our base gaming system, which would allow us to relaunch 'Cash Play' on a more solid unified platform once the legal minefield has stabilized.

We are however keeping Slots24 as a 'Free Play' site to allow for all affiliates that have games pages to continue to benefit from our active games content. In addition, we will be adding banner capability to the popup screen that occurs every 25th spin in 'Free Play' mode. You will be able to upload and manage your own banners, links and tracking within the Slots24 affiliate interface (affiliate.slots24.com). This therefore allows continued revenue from click-through's to other casinos that you promote through the Slots24 'Free Play' games.

Should Slots24 reopen 'Cash Play' at a later date, all players you introduce to Slots24 will remain 'linked' to you to allow revenue earning thereafter.

Scheduled roll-out timing:
13 November 2006:

Close deposit methods on Slots24 and allow players to play out their remaining balances.
Launch banner popup management interface.

27 November 2006:

Close 'Cash Play' and pay out remaining balances due to players.

1 December 2006:

Payout November affiliate earnings.

We would firstly like to apologize for the inconvenience that this might cause and secondly we would like to thank you for the time, effort and patience that you have taken in promoting Slots24 over the last six months.
