In the statement, SkyBet cited the changing regulatory landscape and “increased obligations regarding regulatory responsibility and level of compliance.”

It continued: “In order to continue to operate in a compliant manner we feel that operating the program is no longer viable and that managing the output of affiliates presents a serious risk to our business from a regulatory perspective.”

The operator went on to say that its Affiliate Hub portal would cease to be available from October 2 and that no commission would be paid from that date onwards.
