German online gambling operator Mybet has announced its intention to file for insolvency after failing to come to terms with a would-be financial savior.
On Tuesday, Mybet issued a statement indicating that its board of directors was preparing an application to open insolvency proceedings after talks with a strategic investor failed to produce an agreement. The company expects to file its application on Friday.
