    DrHo888 closing down?

    I just got an email from DrHo888.com saying that they are closing down already.

    The email goes something like ...

    ==========================================

    Dear player,



    First of all, we would like to thank you for playing at DrHo888 casino.



    Unfortunately, we regret to inform you that DrHo888.com will be shut down within the next 24 hours. However, this shut down has no effect on your account information and balance. You can still come and play with our beautiful dealers at ho368.com.



    We apologize for any inconvenience caused. If you have problems accessing ho368.com, please send an email to our Customer Support Team at support@ho368.com.



    Regards,



    DrHo888.com Management Team

    www.DrHo888.com

    ==========================================

    They are Boss created (Live Casino) then they took up PlayTech. Now, they are closing? Very interesting... does anyone gamble there? Any feedback?
    You win some, you lose some... nobody can win it all.

    This is pretty strange.

    www.ho368.com is a parked domain, and on the main DrHo site there is this notice but not much detail:

    In light of the new U.S. legislation regarding Internet gaming, no U.S. players will be permitted to play.

    Are you a US player perhaps?

    24 hours notice is really not acceptable, especially when unaccompanied by guidance on clearing accounts, reasons for closure etc.

    We've asked them for more information on this.

    Are you sure the headers matched up for the email you recieved? It almost sounds like a phishing scam...
    Operators: If you don't know what Transparency means, then here you go.....now how about practicing it?

    Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. ...

    Works for me...

    Weird email. You would figure if it was a phishing scam, they'd have something in place; unless of course godaddy already shut it down.

    Works fine for me. My instinct says that this is a software change, I do not recognize the "computer" game on the left side of the screen. Furthermore, the previews only show the live games.

    Judging by the photos of the dealers, plus a traceroute, they have moved to Costa Rica.

    BTW, aodat2 is in Asia, not the US

    DrHo888 and ho368 look the same and have the same IP address.
