Kerzner Interactive, operators of Casino Atlantis Online (www.casinoatlantis.com), will “wind down operations” by the end of March, said a company press release.
Kerzner Interactive is the online division of Kerzner International Limited, a developer and operator of land-based casinos, resorts and luxury hotels. Kerzner’s flagship destination is Atlantis, a 2,317-room, ocean-themed resort located on Paradise Island in The Bahamas.
Casino Atlantis Online is one of three Internet casinos licensed in the Isle of Man. The casino targeted play only from jurisdictions that permitted online gaming, and did not accept U.S. bets. Kerner blamed market size and competition for the closing.
“As these jurisdictions have become more restrictive in their acceptance of play, the market size has been reduced and competition has intensified. Without the potential for expansion into other markets, including the United States, the outlook for new business has substantially decreased and achieving profitability is unlikely in the short-to-medium term.”
In June 2002, Kerzner had renegotiated a previous agreement with Station Casinos granting Station a renewable option to purchase a 50% interest in Kerzner Interactive. Kerzner and Station have mutually agreed to terminate this transaction.
A Kerzner spokesperson said the company may try to find a buyer for Casino Atlantis Online.
