HI

Just out of interest, are UK afilliates allowed to promote centrebet to UK bettors now?

Has this, or will this ever change?

Hi Lowrisk,

Not at this stage - we're still only looking to acquire in the remaining core regions, Australia and Denmark.

I don't foresee this changing anytime in the near future.

Regards,
