Oh, man! It's started! You mean that accounts are closed for ALL bets, even casino-related ones from USA players? I can understand sports-betting but not blackjack or slots.

Worth noting the UK "bookies" (being established and well known brands for Sports betting) do, understandably, tend to baulk at the slightest chance their reputation could be tarnished so this is no major surprise.

These days the directors must also be worried about being extradited to the US.

And if eurobet / coral are doing this the 3rd largest sportsbetting site in the UK you can be certain ladbrokes and william hill will be right behind along with Victor chandler thats a cert.

Hi Westland Bowl

Yes, I'm afraid that all US player Coral, Eurobet and Gala accounts will be closed whether casino, games or poker (these brands never did accept US sportsbook bets)

Ladbrokes and Victor Chandler already prohibit US customers.

Laddies (VC too I think) don't take US bets anyway. And I don't think Hills take US sports bets, but I may be off there.

Edit: Ah Linus beat me too it
