Sudden and poorly communicated decision results in an immediate halt to operations and a warning to players to withdraw balances before July 20 closure.
Cassava Enterprises-888 – the companies behind the popular, 1,500 player WSOP Online UK website has informed players that the site will close on July 20 in a warning to withdraw their balances.
The company has not seen fit to explain its decision to shutter what is a well-established site on the 888Poker network carrying the WSOP brand into the UK market, and in fact have reportedly ceased gaming activity with effect from July 3.
Company service representatives have confirmed the closure, but had apparently not been briefed on the reasons behind it.
The UK closure does not affect WSOP branded activity in the United States.
