3 European Markets , since Canada is not in Europe.

Good that I stopped promoting Ladbrokes already long ago.

 

[CygX1]

Hehe. You're right. For a moment I apparently thought it was.

I wonder what the deal with Switzerland and Canada is. Has something happened in any of these countries that I missed?

Soon there won't be any countries left... Hopefully I won't see Sweden in that list any time soon.

A reminder is sent to all affiliate managers.

 

[CygX1]

From now Russian customers will no longer be served by them either.

 

[TheGooner]

Yes I agree with you CygX1

Russia, Romania, Finland and Portugal have been dropped as at 01-01-2015.

How many is that now on the no-go-zone?

 

[TheGooner]

Quite a few now - over 30 I think - and some quite major markets.
Here's my latest item on it with a full list of excluded countries.

Is that just for the sportsbook or casino too. Because Ladbrokes pulled out of Australia in 2012 and it's not on the list

BTW I spotted a typo:
2014/12/31
Landbrokes are longer able to accept (word missing - no)

 

[TheGooner]

Ladbrokes are active for sports and racing in Australia (as I am sure you know).
