Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR) owned William Hill has contacted their active casino & gambling affiliates informing them not to send traffic from the Canadian province of Ontario until the company has acquired an operations license from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).
The email read:
Dear Affiliates,
Following a period of review, we’ve made the strategic decision to stop operations in Ontario until we have obtained a license with the AGCO. Kindly note that as of today, we are no longer accepting new registrations from Ontario. Although there is not a date for completion, we expect to re-enter in the market in the coming months.
We are currently promoting our products in the rest of Canada (excluding Ontario), so we kindly ask you to not send traffic to Ontario as of yet.
Further communication regarding this matter will follow as soon as we have an update.
