Vera & John and Intercasino closure in UK

[jopaa]

It seems that from today both casinos are pulling out of the UK market

Dear Affiliate,

We are sorry to announce that Vera & John and InterCasino will cease to operate in the UK market as of 3rd September 2019 (“Closure Date”). In addition, please be advised that as of today, 5th August 2019 we have ceased to accept new customers and the registration form has been disabled.


All commission generated and accrued prior to the Closure Date will be stored on your account and paid as per usual. No further payments or activity shall be made on this account after the Closure Date. The final commission payments will be made shortly after Closure Date


Your account will remain open following the brand closure and we would encourage you to look to redirect traffic to one of our existing programmes across Europe - please reach out to your representative to obtain further information. In the meantime, we would ask you to remove any UK facing marketing materials as of today. All remaining UK marketing assets past the Closure Date will be deactivated and users will arrive at a 404 error page.


We thank you for your efforts and cooperation with us to this date, and we hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future as circumstances develop.


Sincerely,

JPJ Group Affiliates Director

Had to remove Vera & John after probably a year of useless numbers. Didnt perform well at all (for me).

Also not surprised to see an increasing number of operators feeling the UK market. Overregulated and bloodsucking taxes, but I guess the UKGC will just make up for the lost revenue by hitting someone with ridiculous fees for having demo games available on the site

We could confirm that we have received the same email:

Gutted at this news- both as an affiliate and as a player!
I have actually made a LOT more from them playing there than in commission but I'm still pissed-off that the number of DECENT UK facing casinos I can promote is rapidly shrinking...

A reminder is sent to all affiliate managers.

why do you think Vera & John didnt perform well?

At first they asked (with quite short deadline!?!) to make all the websites compliant and etc, and then suddenly they are pulling out. Crazy story ...

And no real affiliation with the brand they will focus for UK - Jackpotjoy.

Yes, and I told them to shove it when they asked ME to provide proof that my site is compliant. Like, what the actual f...am I supposed to send screenshots and hold a press conference with them?

I have no idea really. They're supposed to be a good casino but the program was crap for me. Could hardly get any signups and those who did sign up didn't generate all that much. A bit like Videoslots lol.

 

[EU Affiliate]

Same here as Danniee.
No real numbers for revenues.
Althought, I really like their platform, plenty of games, smooth playing, easy navigation.
And probably the best player progressing system online (maybe only Casumo has a better one, till you reach the space levels).

Really can't figure out, why they can't attract more signups to deposit.

Players will be transferred to Jackpot Joy? Tagged/untagged?

In Denmark, they closed and sent offers to players for Leo Vegas with their own affiliate tag...

 

[EU Affiliate]

Yeah Biti, and I like it, when all casinos say - we never cross-promote...

To add insult to injury, July was my best month with V&J UK for nearly 2 years... Typical!
