William Hill is pulling out from the gaming market in the Canadian province of British Columbia

Last week players in British Columbia received a message informing that the bookmaker is to cease operations in the province, citing “regulatory reasons beyond its control.”

There was a statement in the message: “We will be suspending the accounts of all residents of British Columbia. From May 10 you will not be able to use our online gaming products.”

“Nevertheless, you will still be able to access your account and withdraw any outstanding balance at any time, unless we notify you otherwise in future. To do so, please visit our website.”
