MaximBet ceases operations amid “challenging” macroeconomic conditions
Online gambling operator MaximBet has ceased all operations with immediate effect citing “challenging macroeconomic conditions” and an “increasingly cost prohibitive marketplace”.
MaximBet announced the decision in a message to customers, saying they will have until December 15 to withdraw any funds in their accounts. After this date, any remaining balances will be refunded via check sent to the address on the account.
Players are no longer able to deposit more funds or place net bets, but MaximBet said that it would settle any existing bets in line with its MaximBet House Rules until December 15. At this point, MaximBet said bets will be cashed out at “current fair value market pricing” and player balances will be returned via check.
MaximBet was founded in April of 2021 through a collaboration between sports betting operator Carousel Group and media brand Maxim, supported by a $50m investment from the xSigma subsidiary of Chinese engineering business ZK International.
