666Bet players have been waiting for their payouts but the company has informed the UK Gambling Commission that it must raise more funds to pay everyone.
Operators are required to keep player funds in separate accounts for player protection but apparently that failed in this situation.
The Commission updated everyone on Friday saying they “have been unable to make contact with Metro Play as a customer support resource, which the Commission was informed would become available, has not yet been provided.”
They also say that they were “...informed by [666Bet's Alderney-registered parent] Metro Play's chairman and major shareholder that he plans to make additional funds available to enable payments to customers.”
The Commission also gave notice that “...an alternative payment method to Skrill (most likely a bank transfer)” will be offered.
An email address dedicated to communication on this issue will be published by 666Bet on Monday, June 1st.

If operators are required to keep player funds in separate accounts for player protection I don't know how it's possible the company to be out of funds. 666 Bet has informed the UK Gambling commission that they must raise the funds to pay everyone- very nice. Hope all the customers will be able to receive their funds back...

Well, I don't know how this happen. It is very disappointing for me to hear news like this. They need to be more careful with their players. In nowadays there are lot of other sportsbooks and competition is big. If you have problems like this, players will leave you and go to someone who will pay them their money in time....

This is one terrible news for all players that are waiting their money so long for now. I must say that I've expected something like this. For all of us there is only hope that there will be less and less cases like this one and that there will be only casinos that pays fairly to their players their money that they've won...
