Did anyone hear of this coming? No word in the e-mail about whether they intend to relaunch under a different name.

"CAIGAMES.COM has decided to stop trading using the CAIGAMES.COM name"

So they will relaunch under a new name?

Hi Rob, I would imagine that they will be planning to launch something else down the line. Casinos Austria International is a massive organisation and I reckon they are probably taking stock of things to find their place in the market - could well be in the B2B market, but that's just a hunch. That being said, they will certainly need a few affiliates knocking on their door to ensure a migration of data is made if they do start up another B2C offering if you're looking to keep players tied in.
