The UK bookmaker has emailed players in Canada to say that it will no longer accept bets or deposits from Canadian accounts, advising customers that they had 30 days to withdraw their funds.

“We continually review the markets we operate in based on legal advice and Canada is not a material contributor,” the company said.

“The vast majority of our business is UK and Ireland, with a focus on Australia, Spain and Belgium for the future.”
