This list shows all the online casinos that have closed and is used for our archive and historical purposes. Just as much as there are opening all the time, just as many are closing at the same rate. The online casino industry is highly competitive and the high level of gambling sites closing is a reflection of this with weaker businesses being weeded out by their more competitive counterparts. If you just stumbled upon this list or a closed casino and are looking for one that is open, try our best online casinos page.
It is also worth taking time to consider our full list of casino reviews to see all the operators who are still open but may not have always treated players fairly. When choosing a casino to play with its always wise to ensure that you learn from the experiences of other players. That will help ensure that you have the best chance of being treated fairly yourself. Fortunately for player casinos that mistreat players are often the ones that close down. When players are not happy a natural consequence is that they stop playing. When players stop playing casinos stop making money. And we say good riddens to bad trash.
Casino sign up bonus offers often cause problems for operators, with many closing down because they do not get the balance right in what they offer. They are either too conservative, offering players bonuses that are unattractive compared to their competition or they offer bonuses that are far too generous and end up costing the business far more than they can reasonably afford. Both errors can end up resulting in a casino closing down.
Another big factor in the likely success of failure of a casino is the games they offer. If a casino does not offer the best online slots. Many players look for specific slots games or casino softwares that they have experienced luck on previously or simply that they feel are offering high quality games. It is important for any online casino operator to ensure that they have a full catalogue of the highest quality games and keep up with the latest releases. Otherwise they will find that they cannot keep up with their competition.
Maintaining high quality gaming licenses that allow the operator to access the best markets for them is another major factor. Licensing can be very expensive, especially in highly regulated markets like the United Kingdom and Sweden, but failing to have the right licenses can result in many game providers and payment companies being reluctant to work with the casino operator. This limits options available to the casino and their players.
While there are many reasons that a casino may close not taking into account the basic factors that we have discussed here is a quick road to a dead domain and bills that the casino owner cannot afford to pay.
