21+ No operator we name holds a licence from a state regulator, and what you are allowed to play is settled by the state you sit in, not by us. This desk books no wagers, holds no balances and deals no cards — every button hands you over to the operator, and the terms you agree to there are the operator’s own. Conditions ride on every offer. Who pays this site, and for what.
Sega Online Poker and Casino? – September 18th, 2009
However, it appears there is substance to the story after all, with some astute sleuthing work by the webmaster of Casino Listings.com revealing that the company is more than merely contemplating such a move, and will be launching in October on the Playtech platform.
CasinoListings confirmed Sega apparently confirmed the launch, and this week at EiG Playtech advised that Sega is launching October 1st on a Playtech backend but with their own game development.
Its another example of a major media company finding the industry attractive.
According to Casino Listings both segacasino.com and segapoker.com domains pop up authentication boxes when visited, suggesting that the websites are already live for people with the right credentials. Licensing will be via Alderney, we understand.
