Microgaming/Prima no Longer Allows New US Players

It appears MG/Prima has stopped accepting new US players in addition to the IP blocks. Eurolinx, Doyle's Room and Poker Host have all stopped. Considering they were the biggest US facing brands it is reasonable to assume this goes for all rooms.

Dear Affiliate,

We regret to inform you that after long and careful deliberation, Eurolinx has decided to accept no new registrations from the US, effective immediately. The market has become turbulent, as evidenced most recently in the Kentucky case. All US players at Eurolinx will see no change; they can continue to play as per usual. However, there will be no new registrations allowed. Eurolinx will be concentrating its marketing efforts in the near future on under-serviced markets in Europe and Asia.

The shift in market focus is only positive, as the US market was approaching maturity and growth was beginning to stagnate. By relocating the focus to new markets, Eurolinx seeks to educate new players to the game, thus keeping growth healthy and upwardly mobile. To poker players, the quality of the game is the most important factor, and the quality of the game is only improved when bringing new players to the game.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we forge a new path in the marketplace. By working together, we can all look forward to a profitable future in new markets.

Best regards,
Eurolinx Affiliate Team
