Microgaming/Prima to Block all Banned State IP's

[pokeraddict]

Countless skins have expanded to taking banned states and I guess with this Kentucky nightmare they hve decided to step up enforcement.

Dear Affiliate,

Our software provider has informed us starting this Thursday they will once again banned all 13 states which include:

District of Columbia
Illinois
Indiana
Louisiana
Michigan
Missouri
Nevada
New Jersey
New York
Oregon
South Dakota
Washington State
Wisconsin
Just in case you have any players contact you in regards to this situation their IP addresses will be locked, and we will be sending their funds back to them as soon as possible.
We are really sorry for this inconvenience. This matter is out of our hands and please feel free to contact us at any moment in regards to this situation.

Wow. Thanks for the update.

So what happens when I go to see my family in Indiana? I guess I can't play while I'm there, even though I'm not a resident of Indiana?

And seeing as how microgaming.com is on Kentucky's hitlist, then why not go ahead and block that state as well?

The rumor is that Kentucky will be added very shortly.

Don't think it would be much of a loss. Just checking the stats here: for US visitors, Kentucky ranks #38 out of 50 States. Not much traffic from these guys...

I can't imagine how low South Dakota is. 47th? We're not important either. I'm probably 90% of the hits too.

Edit: Kentucky has now been added to the list for sure now.

South Dakota #50

Isn't Utah on the list as well?

BTW, the Kentucky hearing scheduled for November 17 has now been moved to December 3rd to give interested parties more time to respond.

My guess is that Kentucky will be added before long.

Shortly after the post about SD I edited it that Kentucky was added. I do remember Utah as well. This list came from Poker Host and you're right it should now be 14 states.

I don't get it. The federal government doesn't want online gambling but these sites don't give a d*mn about that. But they do care about state law. This makes no sense to me. Go figure.

An interesting read from Poker News daily.

http://www.pokernewsdaily.com/microg...customers-588/

This is not a new rule, just sudden enforcement of an old one Players can still play in the Sportsbook. Players can still register from the banned states, but will not be able to play in the Poker client or in the Casino. The IP blocking service Microgaming is using also has a proxy detector, so players will no longer be able to use a proxy to hide their IPs.” It marks a sudden adherence to the “rule” by Microgaming Network, whose online poker sites include 32Red Poker, Intertops Poker, Crazy Poker, PokerTime, Royal Vegas Poker, Ladbrokes, Betway, Unibet, Pokerwize, Doyle’s Room, Jennings Poker, Gnuf, and Eurolinx.
