For “regulatory reasons”

(UK).- William Hill is reversing out of 55 countries where it has been active in the past, effective as of March 26. The 55 countries are geographically diverse and widespread; they include African, Asian, South American and Middle Eastern nations.

The group made the announcement to its marketing affiliates by email. Little in the way of detail surrounding the decision is apparent from the message, which refers to the motivation being for “regulatory reasons”.

The countries concerned have been listed on the Poker Guru blog and can be seen here (http://www.pokergurublog.com/content/william-hill-pulls-out-numerous-markets.)

After March 26, players will no longer be able to deposit or play on William Hill sites, although there will be a grace period sufficient to enable them to withdraw any credit balances in their accounts.

William Hill has already listed 28 markets where it no longer operates, such as Denmark, Belgium, China and Greece, and the current withdrawals expand that substantially.
