Similar rort to what Rival, Black Square and their subsidiary Bonne Chance were doing with their Rival Powered white label "business model".
To the best of my knowledge, these white labels were using the following services of Rival/Black Square:
- Casino software etc., etc.
- Gaming servers
- Customer support
- Deposit and withdrawal processing
- In some instances even affiliate services
In addition, the contractual agreement between Bonne Chance and these white label's, included a clause along these lines:
If the white label screwed up (for whatever reason), Rival et al, can take back ownership to prevent further damage to their brand.
With so much control over these white label casinos, it was akin to shooting fish in a barrel for Rival.
Can't recall her name now, but she was a well liked and trusted AM, who'd been in the industry since the early days. Used to work at a Microgaming aff program for years (not Referback) but she was located in Cape Town.
Long story short...
After leaving and working at a few other affiliate programs, herself and with (life) partner, opened a Rival white label: Dendera Casino (circa 2009). Everything WAS (operative word) going well, players/affiliates were getting paid, happy..happy!
Probably 14 months or so later, totally different story. Customer support/withdrawals (reiterating all handed in-house by Rival et al), had turned to shite. Players were owed money for literally weeks on end, if they even got paid. The place was falling down around their ears. Eventually it seems Rival enacted the 'take back clause', and it was all over Red Rover.
The modus operadi was the same...
Let a white label grow its player base (aided by affiliates), then set about to destroy white label. Win Win for Rival et al.
Edit:
AFAIK, if not all, then 99% of Rival white label's have fallen to the same fate. Coincidence? You be the judge!

We didn't get an email about the closure. The only email we got is that Insta Casino is closing down.
