Unibet Close To Withdrawing Online Casino in New Jersey and Pennsylvania
If you’ve explored Unibet’s online casino offerings in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, you should note some crucial updates regarding your account. Unibet has now set firm dates for the cessation of its gaming services in these states, prompting players to take action regarding any remaining funds in their accounts.
Of immediate concern are the deadlines for withdrawing funds currently held in player accounts. For those in Pennsylvania, Unibet’s departure opens the door for a new online casino experience.
Kindred, Unibet’s parent company, had previously announced plans to halt its gaming operations in North America by June 2024, a decision made public in December 2023. It seems that Kindred is adhering to this timeline, as evidenced by the recent announcement of key dates for players to mark on their calendars.
As per Unibet’s New Jersey online casino platform, operations will cease in the state on May 14, 2024. Players are urged to withdraw any remaining funds by May 13.
Residents of New Jersey may have already observed that Unibet stopped accepting deposits via the app as of April 5, 2024, signaling the impending closure of its services in the state.
Pennsylvanians have a bit more breathing room to digest the news of Unibet’s departure. According to Unibet’s Pennsylvania online casino platform, operations will cease in the state as of June 21, 2024.
Similar to the process in New Jersey, players must make sure to withdraw their funds by June 20, 2024. However, Pennsylvania players can continue to make deposits until May 21, 2024.
For those who may miss the withdrawal deadlines, Unibet has a backup plan: they will send paper checks to the addresses they have on file for each player. It’s a reminder for players in both states to secure their W2G forms and other tax documents before the withdrawal deadline approaches.
While some companies tease discontinuations only to bring back their products later, Unibet’s exit from both New Jersey and Pennsylvania is no publicity stunt. It’s part of a larger global strategy orchestrated by Kindred, signaling a definitive shift in their gaming operations.
Kindred announced in December 2023 its focus on profitable markets like Scandinavia and Europe. Despite Unibet’s struggles in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Mohegan Pennsylvania plans to launch its online casino platform.
Pennsylvanian Unibet users need to create new accounts when Mohegan’s platform launches. Hard Rock Atlantic City has not revealed plans to replace Unibet in New Jersey. Users may want to explore alternative apps for similar games.
