Is Microgaming shutting off US players? Just got this email from Grand Monaco

[1819]

Hmm strange. NY and NJ cropped up this morning on the Vegas Partner Lounge list, which was then amended to exclude them. I didn't think online gambling was illegal in those states - yet??

my new york account with roxy was just closed.

I too received an email from Grand Monaco earlier in the week stating that it was business as usual. Maybe what happened here is that Microgaming forced them into refusing to accept players from select states? Since the banking and gaming is handled by MG servers, it stands to reason that they have more authority than the casino operator regarding which players to accept or reject.

Did players who got this email from Grand Monaco get a similar one from other Microgaming casinos? If so, that would probably confirm this theory.

Yes I think you are correct, I've been locked out of all my accounts today and I am in NY. That about does it for me, I think I've been locked out of all my casinos now

Hello All

I know this is a concern, but the reality is that all mgs operators will have to lock accounts in the 11 states until clarity and a solid footing is acheived again - some have decided to pull out entirely, but we are still operating

We are positive as for the majority of the states players are still accepted.

It will take time for these issues to resolve - please bear with us and rest assured we are doing everything to ensure that players can play and continue to be entertained at Grand Monaco

32Red have just announced that as of this morning they are closing all US Accounts and will no longer accept any new US Players.

This was to be expected.
