One of the UK’s largest sports betting and gambling operators, Betfred, have acquired MoPlay’s full database for UK and Irish customers after having their license suspended last month.

Emails Sent To MoPlay Customers

UK and Irish customers have been receiving emails reporting Betfred would honour their account balances. Customers of the fallen company MoPlay were told last month the operator had its license suspended after sister company Addison Global’ s financial situation was in doubt. Following on, customers were unable to withdraw account balances with a note on the site stating they would continue to inform customers of progress in the coming weeks.A liquidator was brought in by Gibraltar to manage Addison Global’s assets. Fred Done, Co founder of Betfred clearly came out on top after Betfred’s parent company Petfre (Gibraltar) Ltd acquired the UK and Ireland database.

Register New Account With Betfred

Customers were informed of the acquisition via email, MoPlay have apologised in the delay of reassurance to its customers claiming they were in talks with a ‘highly reputable’ company. MoPlay customers are being instructed to register a new account with Betfred in order to claim their account balances.Not only have Betfred scooped MoPlay’s database, they recently bought a 3.03% stake in rival operator William Hill, stating the company was ‘Massively undervalued’ in the UK, despite having a huge presence in the US market. With share prices continuing to fall for William Hill, it’s been reported Betfred are looking to acquire more shares in the coming months.
