Dark Cloud Passes Over
Casinos
A longtime supporter and
originator of the online casino
industry has passed away. Warren
Cloud, also known as Oliver
Curran, has died from an
apparent heart attack.
Cloud was vacationing near the
island of Ibiza when it
happened, and was on his boat in
Spain when he had the attack.
His wife and child survive him.
He was confirmed dead Saturday
evening.
Cloud was a pioneer in the
online casino industry, with his
business being valued at
£140,000,000. He had online
casinos and
real time gaming
casinos as well – and was hugely
successful in his endeavors.
He owned properties such as
America Online, Crystal Palace
and the Lucky Coin online
casino. His reputation was not
spotless, and he had a rep for
locking customer accounts and
withholding bonuses – but
overall he was respected.
Those in the industry realize
what it was that Cloud did for
them – for it is most likely had
he not done what he did, there
would be no online casino
industry today. He will be
missed.
