Vulcun has shut down its fantasy eSports site in favor of Twitch chat games.
July is rapidly turning out to be a dreadful month for anyone dealing with betting on competitive gaming, including Vulcun, which announced recently that it has ceased its fantasy sports operations starting July 5.
Vulcun co-founder Murtaza Hussain said they will be spending the next two weeks slowly re-orienting the site as the venture capital-funded company moves into a new arena—away from the increasingly hostile environment of legally offering fantasy sports skill games within eSports.
“Last year we acquired TwitchAlerts.com and over the course of the year we’ve been focused on Twitch and making the viewing experience more engaging and fun,” Hussain wrote in a blog post. “The new version of Vulcun.com will be focused on this.”
