    To whom this may concern:

    As of today, July 19 2018, Tabcorp UK Ltd will cease providing gambling services on behalf of News Group Newspapers (The Sun) and Sun Bets will be closing for customers.Tabcorp UK remains solvent and is currently engaged with the UK Gambling Commission to enable us to manage the closure of the business and the return of our licence in a compliant fashion.
    Tabcorp UK and its parent company, Tabcorp Holdings are deeply committed to an orderly running down of affairs and ensuring any contractual obligations we have with you will be met. In this regard, we will be in contact with individual suppliers soon to address these points in more detail. If your preferred contact details need updating, please do let us know as soon as possible.
    We trust that we can maintain your support through the closure period (which we anticipate will take up to 105 days from today) and ensure that we can minimise any impact both on our customers and on your business.
    If required, your key contact at Tabcorp UK will be available for any queries you may have and also to follow up with requirements for contractual run down or termination if required.
    We would please ask that if you are actively promoting Sun Bets or Sun Casino, please remove any marketing materials, tracking links or reference to these brands where possible with immediate effect.
    We know that the closure of Sun Bets may have an impact on your business and we regret that we are no longer able to offer services.
    If you have any queries whatsoever, then do not hesitate to get in touch. We will be in touch as soon as possible with further communication around your affiliate account and the completion of all outstanding commission payments.
    Best Regards,
    Sun Bets Affiliate Team

    "As of today, July 19 2018, Tabcorp UK Ltd will cease providing gambling services on behalf of News Group Newspapers (The Sun) and Sun Bets will be closing for customers."

    No wonder, that they are fed up with it.
    Tabcorp Holdings Ltd. lost $91 million betting on their UK adventure.

    So for the Tabcorp ruler, it was a little bit too much bad news for him before breakfast and he yelled "enough is enough".

    Don't worry about it, ocreditor. There's plenty of other great casino affiliate programs out there instead that you can sign up to that have excellent commission deals.

    91$ million that's a lot of money to lose before you realise you need to get out of the market... that was a quite of adventure that for sure!
    (not including the lose of what the affiliates invested)

    I never touched them, The Sun is a horrible, horrible newspaper and I wouldn't give that brand the exposure on my websites. Shame to see it go down for those affiliates who have invested time/effort/money into it though - I never got a good feeling about this brand though, even putting my negative bias aside it just didn't feel like something that was going to last.

    I think The Sun will look for just a new partner to run their casino. If players well be tagged, I doubt it.

    Agree, seen them in so many affiliate conferences. After the newspapers reputation in the UK ne amazed if any serious player would advertise them. A disaster waiting to happen from the start.

    I remember their mass email launch - was it a couple of years ago?
    Always sounded a bit desperate.

    My sentiments exactly. The newspaper regularly lies and cheats and then they expect customers to trust the brand to run a respectable and honest betting site. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

    I still didn't understand how this brand is closing, this company has history in the UK, it most probably will change hands after the 105 days will be over.
