Warrem Cloud, also known by the name of Oliver Curran was one of first online casino operators and he has dies from an apparent heart attack while he was on his boat in Spain.

Cloud was near the island of Ibiza when the tragedy occurred and was then later confirmed as dead late Saturday evening. He leaves behind his wife and child.

The South African businessman was one of the early pioneers of the online gambling and real time gaming casino operating business. His casinos are reportedly valued at £140,000,000 and include America Online, Crystal Palace and the Lucky Coin Casino.

Cloud didn't have a completely clear past when it came to running to the casinos. There were rumors of bonus with holding and locking customer accounts that blighted an otherwise successful career.
