Purely Bingo Closed For Business
Purely Bingo is one brand that we don’t advertise here; we never felt that the brand had much to offer the player and their licence, under the Play ‘N’ Go software, was not white listed by the UK’s Gambling Commission. This means that we are unable to advertise the brand following new regulations under the Gambling Act 2005 as the UK Gambling Commission wasn’t happy enough with their licensing regions regulations to add it to the white list.
A recent turn of events means that we had made the right decision with regard to the Purely Bingo brand as on 5th November 2010 they were closed for business by their software provider.
An email was distributed to players that merely showed Purely Bingo passing the buck to Play ‘N’ Go with the site owners stating that the “matter was taken out of their hands”. There must be more to this story than the owners are telling their players because a decision to close a site by any software provider would not have been taken lightly.
Although not usually given to believing rumour and speculation we do have a number of contacts in the industry and the general consensus is that Purely Bingo were not paying either their players or their affiliates. The email sent to players intimates that any money that remained in their account could not be accessed until a new software provider had been sourced. Why should players have to wait for their money when it was deposited in good faith? Another reason why you should always play at a reputable site!
Should Purely Bingo ever find another software provider and you see the name appearing around the world of online bingo again, we strongly suggest avoiding at all costs.
