I'm Confused (re: Microgaming non-US policy)

**Marcie Mac** · 19th December 2008, 05:20 AM

My blondness is going to show, but I have read that Microgaming is not taking any new US signups. If you are already signed up at one Microgaming casino, does that mean you are considered a "not new" us player and can still play at any of them if you haven't previously?

The reason for this "maybe a stupid question" is today I get a very nice invite from Red Flush to try them out. What caught my eye is that they have listed the Progressive Slots - something the casino I love took off the menu for U.S. Players. I had not heard of them previously so came here to check them out first and happened to read about no new US customers.

If the marketing information wasn't mailed from LOS ANGELES with a LOS ANGELES return address on the envelope (hello, what are you guys thinking), it would have been deposited straight in the trash. Makes me really nervous getting all of these discs from gambling web sites all over the world in my mail as it is - nothing like calling attention to the fact that you may be an online gambler..

If you already had an account with any MG casinos before they stopped taken US players you can still play..they are no longer taken NEW US players..

As far as I understand the current situation:-
You can only play at Red Flush (or any other MG casinos) if you registered before November 9th.
I'm not sure if you needed to have played for real (i.e. made a deposit) before that date or not... ?

However, you will not be allowed to play ANY progressive slots games at ANY MG casino regardless of when you signed up. These games have been completely blocked off to ALL USA residents.

The invite you got probably came from a loose-cannon affiliate or some stupid marketing company who don't even know which planet they are on...! I get loads of CD's etc inviting me to sign-up & take bonuses which I am illegible for because I already joined the place. I sometimes think these marketing people actually enjoy throwing their money away!
