Genting UK has dropped its online sports betting offering. It will focus on an online casino expansion.
Genting UK, the UK branch of the global gambling operator Genting Group, has decided to focus on the expansion of its online casino offering. The company has reached an agreement with platform provider SkillOnNet for an undisclosed fee. Skill onnet will add Gentings' online casinos brand, Gentin Casino, onto its domain. Prime Gaming, which is behind brands such as MegaCasino, ICE36, and Slingo, will market Gentins' offering on its website.
SkillOnNet is the company that powers PlayOJOJ, Metal Casino, Spring Genie, LuckyNiki and SlotStars. It has signed a deal with Genting UK. Gentings UK operates 32 casinos in the UK, spread from Edinburgh to Plymouth.
Genting UK has suffered as a result of restrictions across the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March 2020, the company has closed casinos in Margate, Torquay, and Bristol, in addition to reducing staff in London, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Blackpool and Birmingham. In June 2020 Genting announced the permanent closure of all of its live poker rooms across UK.
