Maltese Regulator Washes Hands of Purple LoungeLotteries & Gaming Authority Says It Can’t Help Players With Stranded Bankrolls |
|
The closure of Media Corp online poker room and casino PurpleLounge.com one month ago seems no nearer resolution after the Maltese regulator which oversaw the site, the Lotteries & Gaming Authority, said there was nothing it could do to help players who had money trapped there.
In a short statement the LGA said, “The licenses of Purple Lounge (Malta) Limited were terminated on the 23rd April 2012 upon the request made by the licensee. Before the termination process was completed, the Authority made sure that there were no pending complaints and that the licensee was compliant with the Remote Gaming Regulations.
“Since the operator is no longer licensed by the Authority, the Authority cannot assist players having issues with the aforementioned operator following the date of termination of the licenses.”
It is unknown if player balances were kept segregated by the company which has so far kept players in the dark about its plans for the shutdown site and its players’ bankrolls.
