It seems management do not even tell Louise what is going on, so all she can do is give us the usual canned response. At least she is there to tell management how players feel about this creeping process of banning one deposit method after another. The problem is that players will NOT now trouble themselves with securing a currently OK deposit method, since these are sure to be banned later on.
Funnily enough, I said this would happen after it was only Neteller that was bonus banned. I said players would secure another method, only to find that too got banned, and they would end up chasing around looking for acceptable methods, only to find they got banned within a few weeks.
As for QT being "US only" - I got an invite (the only way), and I am in the UK. I wouldn't be interested though, since I have no NEED for QT and all it's high fees when I have access to all the regular deposit methods. QT, by necessity, has to be secretive, and there would be little accountability if they disappeared with players' (and casinos') funds.
Rushmore also accepted cards if I recall, but after the MC "sting", this is probably no longer an option for US players, and IF cards are the next thing to be bonus banned, then I believe this is really the proof that the agenda is to freeze out non-US players from the bonuses, and concentrate on the US alone.
The phrase "don't put all your eggs in one basket" comes to mind. The US is the most profitable market, with the biggest appetite among players to play, BUT, it could be snuffed out overnight if the banks really DO come up with a foolproof system to block ALL the gambling transactions that are being nursed through the system by the creativity of the casinos and their processors. It does seem that the 1st June full implementation of UIGEA has galvanised them into action for fear of being accused of not making a proper effort (and getting fined - or worse). It does seem that the previous attitude is of KNOWING what is going on, but CHOOSING to allow the transactions where their is doubt, rather than spend time and money investigating them BEFORE the law required it. Now, the banks see that UIGEA will now be implemented, and having been given an additional 6 months to prepare, will have little excuse for not being ready for it on June 1st.
