NetEnt Live Closure - Immediate Effect

[Pokerface]

Received the following from High 5 Affiliates:

Dear Valued Affiliates,

As you may be aware, businesses have received confirmation today that All NetEnt live games have been discontinued with immediate effect and that the NetEnt live business and studios closed down yesterday without any advanced notice given.

There is no impact on our NetEnt slot games and all are fully operational.

We are awaiting further communication from NetEnt Live, but we have removed all NetEnt Live products from High 5 Casino.

We apologise for the request for immediate action, but this was out of our control and we thank you in advance for your speedy action in removing NetEnt Live from our reviews on your websites.


If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.


Many thanks,

High 5 Affiliate Team

Looks like it’s closed for good: https://www.casinobonusoffers.com/20...full-takeover/

Reports emerging online suggest that the firm’s live studio in Qormi has been closed with immediate effect. On Tuesday NetEnt workers were told to go home and await an email that would have more information about their future employment.

A spokesperson from Evolution has confirmed that the Qormi studio will be closed, and that redundancy proceedings have begun with the individuals involved.

NetEnt has recently been acquired by Evolution, that is likely the reason for this.

Huge amount of lay-offs have been announced by NetEnt in Malta, a lot of posts on LinkedIn with brands letting NetEnt staff know they are hiring. Also I believe some of the Maltese unions are getting involved with the potential of strikes etc.
