I got the same thing about 20 min ago. I play from Europe.

I think this also ends the discussion if everyone will still get their share. It's impossible that there's any profit in a startup that pulls the plug within three months.

Wow what a mess created by very poor planning I'm sure.

UB have lost a lot of goodwill over this..

Why? They are actually returning the money to the players it seems, aren't they?
