    Default Marathonbet suspends operations in the UK

    Marathonbet informed customers this week that operations on its UK website would be suspended due to "ongoing events in Europe." The site stopped allowing new customers to sign up on 4 April and existing customers are no longer able to deposit or place bets until 14 April.

    The company entered the U.K. in 2015 when it signed a three-year sponsorship partnership with Liverpool FC.

    From the Liverpool news site Echo:

    Today an email, sent to customers with accounts on www.marathonbet.co.uk, said that no new bets would be taken from April 14 and new registrations would be suspended immediately. The notice was also posted on the firm's website.

    The email states: "As the Marathonbet brand is operated globally, recent and ongoing events in Europe have had a significant impact for us. We regret to inform you that we have taken the decision to temporarily suspend services offered on the Marathonbet.co.uk website."

    Customers were told that they will be able to access their accounts to withdraw any outstanding balances but "we may require additional documentation in order to process the final withdrawal".

    I'm a little confused by this, what's the connection between the war in the Ukraine and sports betting in the UK?

    Not that this particularly answers your question as such, there's references to Russia in this report which may be part of the reason: Marathonbet shuts down UK offering citing European conflict concerns (sbcnews.co.uk)

    Ah OK, so they're pulling out of the UK because of their operation in Russia? I guess that makes some kind of logical sense, although they're not closing other european sites and their spanish, danish and italian sites are still operational.

    Has the UKGC maybe said something to spook them? Or are we about to see some kind of rule about UK licensed brands operating in Russia?

    Marathonbet know this casino. Played it many times. Everyone likes the design of the site, and bonus offers, and the range of games and casinos.
