They leave announcing their protocols for money withdrawals assuring that all players will have their money by the end of the month: "No worries, we will be with you until 31st October to ensure that your withdrawal process runs smoothly. Any unsettled bets will be canceled and a refund will be issued to your account. Thank you for being such a passionate and loyal community of players. We are extremely grateful for this opportunity to have provided you with entertainment, and hope that you’ve had a lot of fun!”.
