...Let The Fun Begin - Re: Banned States & MG

[Casinomeister]

Well this really sucks. It should be where the "player" is located NOT the IP since players from banned jurisdictions can use proxy servers to fake their whereabouts. This IP banning is probably being implemented via paranoia - Westland Bowl is probably right, they may fear being hauled in over a technicality.

Hopefully the casinos can come up with a better solution for this.

Yea, you right about that...it does suck, but on the flip side if that is how MG really wants to play that game then you can use one of those sites I listed to actually bounce your IP around so much and so fast that no one can really pin it down to any particular location !! I'm not going to say which site though as that may jeopardize some but it's easily figured out by the user...

shouldnt this be another reason why casinos should ask for ID verification before a player plays at a casino, it would not only prove where your from but (if your in a banned state or not)also there shouldnt be any problems about with holding payment re.dodgy documents, (if they have been cleared)
i know a points been made about players wanting to play at a casino instantly and going else where if they cant but with all these problems happening something has to change,
maybe if all casinos asked for verification before hand then if you play at a casino that doesnt ask and you get burned then its your own fault for playing there,
couldnt ecogra put it in there terms that a casino has to do this, just like they have it in there terms that a casino must ask a player to provide id when requesting a cashout

OMG I am so P**SED RIGHT NOW.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS! I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA, NOT NEW JERSEY.

I'm an innocent bystander! I think the way MG is going about this is ALL WRONG. They are apparently using IP address information from ARIN (www.arin.net), and going solely by where the company that the IP's are registered to is. That has NOTHING to do with where I am PHYSICALLY located.

Hi Brian !

In light of the recent changes in US legislation, the Jackpot Factory casino group has decided to stop taking
bets from players residing in the following states, as determined by the player's IP address:

* Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York,
Oregon, Utah, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin.
* Unfortunately, your IP address traces to New Jersey,
and on Tuesday, November 4th, your account will be blocked.
* Please note that the casino will conduct a manual withdrawal for any remaining funds in your casino cash
account at the start of the next work week. The Jackpot Factory prides itself on its honesty and integrity,
so please rest assured that you will receive your outstanding funds.
* If you do not actually reside in New Jersey, please forward a valid picture ID with current address
(such as a driver's license) to us at support@jackpotfactory.com.
* If you do not actually reside in New Jersey, please forward a valid picture ID with current address
(such as a driver's license) to us at support@jackpotfactory.com.

Thank you for understanding in this matter.

All the best,

David Brickman

Maybe we can get David Brickman on here to comment on this too since this has been two or more letters now received by members on here regarding this issue but I have still not seen any from the other casinos so this looks like it is only JPF Group that are sending these out and not MG !!

Another way:

1. Download Firefox (mozilla)
2. Go To Tools on Top
3. Click on Options
4.Go to Network Tab
5.Click on Settings under connection
6. Click on the manual proxy configuration button (notice below its just on No proxy))
7. In proxy box type: 202.106.16.36
8. Port box type: 3128
9. Click oK

This will take much longer but it will show you coming from Asia. This is what alot of US people do to watch movies that arnt available to US players.

The other good thing is when you go back to normal proxy, the tab remembers these numbers so you dont have to remember them again

Hmmm...out of interest, do any of those proxy servers allow you access to Wagerworks casinos by any chance?

That's good and all, but if a person is in fact in a banned state, they're going to have a hard time cashing out....
