It's official for Grand Prive. As of December 1st, they will cease to exist. Anyone remember the email that some of us got quite a few months back for a casino called Villa Fortuna? That's going to be their new casino, and it will be no U.S. players allowed. Here is the email in its entirety.
It doesn't actually say that the casinos (Bella Vegas, Grand Bay, Jupiter Club, Lake Palace, Roadhouse Reels, Jackpot Wheel and Fortune Junction) are closing, but I'm assuming that's what it means. And they will relaunch with just Villa Fortuna as their one casino? And they will focus on the European/UK and Canadian market.
So any of you U.S. Grand Prive players, get your affairs in order in the next few days. Play out or withdraw any balances, etc.
EDITED: Here is the link to the original Villa Fortuna thread from back in June. So that's how long they've been planning this. And oh goody, another Malta licensed casino.

Dear xxxx,
Let us lead with the chin and get the bad news out of the way. As mentioned in our previous correspondence, GrandPriv Affiliates will be closing our operation as of 1 December 2008.
Rest assured that all payments due for November will be made as per usual, but that will be the very last payment made by GrandPriv Affiliates.
Recent developments in the operations of our software provider, Microgaming, as well as general trading conditions in the US has led us to conclude that GrandPriv Affiliates is no longer a viable business division for the GrandPrive.com group of casinos.
That is the bad news. The good news is that the European-based, Villa Fortuna Affiliates, is up, running and ready to forge a new business relationship with you. Villa Fortuna Affiliates is open to all non-US business (Canadian and European especially) and offers the latest Affiliate Program platform from Microgaming.
Villa Fortuna Casino is available in English, German, Italian and French, with flash casinos currently available in all languages excluding Italian. Our Italian flash and Spanish flash casino software will be added shortly. Massive capital investment is going into building this new casino up to where she rightfully belongs at the very top of the gaming food chain. Have a look at this glittering Malta-licensed casino by following the provided link: www.villafortuna.com
I thank you for your support at GrandPriv Affiliates through the years.
I hope to continue doing business with you on the Villa Fortuna Affiliates platform. I think weve only just begun to scratch the surface of this exciting new venture and look forward to bringing you the very best service, marketing material and benefits with the help of our exciting new European partners, of course.
Thank you for your time and effort xxxx, I strongly urge you to signup at Villa Fortuna Affiliates the future lies there!
Please feel free to email me with any queries about what that future holds.
Regards,
Irwin
