Just now Unibet goes live in New Zealand, the company has decided to withdraw from Germany. Players from Germany can enjoy it for a little more than 2 weeks until July 1 online casino games from Unibet. After that, the website will go offline for the time being until the conditions at the Eastern neighbors are better.
Unibet is one of the better online casinos that dollarpa is rich in, however, it has been struggling with the local authorities lately. For example, Unibet in New Zealand had to go offline last year to qualify for a New Zealand casino license. After going offline around October 2021, it took another 9 months or so for them to get a New Zealand license from The New Zealand Gambling Authority.
Now the company is also in a mess with the German government, so they see no other option than to throw the website on black for German players. As a result, Germans can no longer use the sportbook to betting on sports and the casino slots.
Unibet has previously indicated that they see regulated markets, such as those of New Zealand, as an important factor in Unibet's growth. However, the license applications and conditions in a country must be realistic and viable in order to operate in that country.
However, Unibet sees no possibility in Germany to continue operations under these circumstances. Operating under a license is not viable compared to operating in Germany without a license.
The parent company of Unibet does not rule out that they will return to Germany in the future. For the time being, however, they will focus on expanding into the market in North America.
When Unibet will go live in New Zealand is still unknown. It is expected that they will be able to go live at any time. Then players can again enjoy the range of games and the wide range of sports betting and football betting .
