Titan to complete France exit
Operator had already pulled its sportsbook out of the jurisdiction - poker now follows.
Titan has become the latest operator to pull its poker offering from the French market, the iPoker member has confirmed.
Players will be required to withdraw their balances from the site by the end of the month, after which time they will be unable to access their accounts.
The operator was initially licensed in the EU member state in November 2010, but requested in late December that regulatory body ARJEL repeal its sports betting licence before the TitanBet offering was even launched, after coming to the decision that a launch would not be profitable.
It is the second site on the ipoker.fr network to close this month, following Iliad Gaming’s decision to close chilipoker.fr. The network is now comprised of JOA-online.com and Itechsoft-owned Turbopoker.fr.
Two other French-facing sites, mypok.fr and PokerXtrem, merged last week, while a further operator – PokerLeaders.fr – has been forced to delay its launch after being licensed in February this year, with CEO Olivier Douce explaining: “We will not open until we have the assurance that they can fully meet the expectations of players and the confidence to provide the best service possible because as you know we are players like you.”
