GetMinted.com, the popular online casino, has
announced that due to the changes in German
legislation pertaining to internet gambling, it
has no choice but to close its doors to German
players. GetMinted.com will thus exit the market
as early as next month. All players who are
registered from Germany were informed that as from
March 1st, 2008, their accounts would be
suspended, although a game play suspension has
already gone into immediate affect. Players have
until March to withdraw their funds.
In an email to their German customers,
GetMinted.com said that it regretted the decision
and would keep a sharp eye on the situation. It
assured them that should there be an opportunity to
open these accounts once again in the future, it
would certainly allow it. Germany has recently come
under intense pressure from the European Commission
to reverse its decision to ban internet gambling, in
what is seen as a blatant rebuttal of European Union
free trade laws.
