A year ago that the online casino of Sega launched, the internet casino industry became very excited about the possibilities that the online casino by the video game developer would bring. The enthusiasm was short lived because the online casino has closed its doors already.

The popularity of the internet casino Sega has recently been pushed into the background and therefore the operator will stop its online casino operations. Existing customers are asked to withdraw their funds before the casino closes its doors for good. A message on the site of the Sega internet casino said: “We no longer accept registrations/ deposits in your jurisdiction. If you are an existing Sega games customer, click here to acces your account to withdraw the funds. All remaining funds will be automatically credited back to your payment method, effective from 15 September 2010. For assistance email: customer_care@segagames.com.”

From the site you can directly withdraw your funds or you can contact the live chat of the online casino. Sega launched the online casino with Playtech software and thanks to the combination of the two software makers it was very popular. In addition, Sega advertised its internet gambling product in a lot of different media. The site had over 125 Playtech casino games including slots, blackjack and roulette, but also had games with a Sega theme such as Virtua Fighter and House of the Dead.

The same message can be seen on the Sega Poker site which launched simultaneously with the Sega Casino site. Unfortunately we will never be able to play a Sonic or MegaMan slot machine because of the disappearance of the Sega internet casino.
