Viral Interactive exit the UK market
- Viral Interactive will cease operations in the UK on November 21, 2024, closing several popular slot sites, including mFortune, PocketWin, Jammy Monkey, and others.
- The company has not provided a specific reason for the exit, but tightening regulations, potential tax hikes, and a highly competitive UK market are likely contributing factors.
- Existing customers must withdraw their funds by November 21, 2024 and new registrations and deposits have already been closed across all affected sites.
Viral Interactive have announced that they will cease operations in the UK, resulting in the closure of various popular online slot sites on the 21st November 2024. The slot sites operated by Viral Interactive include the likes of mFortune, PocketWin, Jammy Monkey, Luck.com, MadSlots. They also operated Platincasino, which exited the UK earlier on.
The reason for this has not been announced, however with tightening regulations and a potential tax hike on the horizon, operating an online casino in the UK is becoming increasingly difficult compared to other countries. The UK is also a very competitive space to operate in, with hundreds of slot sites available to UK customers and new ones launching all the time.
It is likely that due to this, Viral Interactive have chosen to take a step back from the UK market and focus on other countries where they are able to make more significant progress as a business. We have seen many similar cases in recent years, with several operators exiting the UK.
For now, there is a clear statement displayed across the top of all Viral’s websites, as follows: “This website will be closing on Nov 21st 2024. Starting from Oct 24th 2024, registrations and deposits on [casino name] are closed. Note that you are still able to withdraw any Cash Credit by following the standard withdrawal procedure.”
So, if you’re an existing customer of any Viral Interactive slot sites, all you have to do is login and withdraw your funds before the 21st of November.
And worry not, there are still a huge number of other UK slot sites you can sign up to and continue playing all of your favourite slot games. Here are the best slot sites in the UK.
