This is the sort of crap I dont get that just leads to confusion:

Following an in-depth analysis of the situation and extensive legal consultation, bwin has decided to comply with the new legislation and will no longer accept any new US-resident customers for its real money gaming products, effective immediately

"...decided to comply with the new legislation" ? Huh? That just makes people think they made online gambling illegal. No wonder everyone's panicing!

The more I think about this whole situation, the more absurd it seems. All the wannabe president did was say that banks and financial institutions can't process gambling transactions! Strange.

Oasis Casino has now excluded US players.

BETCORP LIMITED

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS

13 OCTOBER 2006

At 10.00am Friday October 13th, US Eastern time, President George Bush signed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, bringing that Act into force.

As a result, and in accordance with the advice of its lawyers, Betcorp Limited has suspended all US-facing operations, pending further analysis of the Acts final text and receipt of further legal advice.

This means that, until further notice, it will not be possible for US residents to place wagers or make deposits on, or make withdrawals from, any website owned or operated by any company in the Betcorp group. This account freeze will remain in place until such time as Betcorp has fully assessed its legal position.

Betcorps websites will continue to accept deposits and wagers from, and process withdrawals for, all customers other than US residents in the ordinary course of business. Betcorp currently has customers in some 87 countries other than the US.

The Board and Executive Management of Betcorp are committed to ensuring that all US customers will have access to their accounts restored as soon as possible.

Betcorps help lines and online inquiry services for all Group websites will continue to operate, with additional staff being deployed to handle US customer inquiries. Betcorp will keep all customers informed of developments.

"From Monday the 16th of October the following partners will not be accepting NEW players but will allow existing players from the United States to continue playing."

Translation: "We know the old players aren't cops. Gotta shut the door on the Man."

What kind of lawyer advises this?

? Huh? That just makes people think they made online gambling illegal. No wonder everyone's panicing!

You think that's bad, check out this "article":

Old / Expired Link

Focus on the Family Action Gambling Analyst Chad Hills today issued the following statement response to President Bush signing into law the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which was included in the Safe Port Act:

"By approving this legislation, our government has protected the nation's families from predatory online casinos, which have addicted many Americans, especially college students.

"We thank Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Sen. Jon Kyl, Rep. Jim Leach and Rep. Bob Goodlatte for persevering for seven years to see this legislation enacted. Through their efforts and those of many others, foreign online casinos will no longer mock federal and state laws already prohibiting online gambling. It's clear that Congress and our president have put the best interests of American families ahead of the gambling cartel."

What a crock!

IOG Casinos (50 Stars, Casino King, Casino Las Vegas, Magic Box & Swiss) have pulled out too now. List updated.

Golden Reef ok

Yes it does babs. You'll be okay for the time being. Golden Reef have just banned 11 States as per the top post in this thread

 

[Casinomeister]

Just jumping into this thread real quick-like. NJ and NY are included with the ban because these are two states where actual cases were aggressively pursued - one was the Paypal incident (NY). I can't recall what the NJ issue was.

Incidentally, I was told during the conference (the EIG - I just got back) that all but two states have laws somewhere on the books that prohibit online gambling of one form or another. (I think it was Montana and Wyoming, but I'm not 100% sure).

Who - Trident or Kiwi, Mousey? Trident still take US (though with the 11 State restriction like all MG's). I haven't seen anything "official" from Kiwi and I've been at pains to verify every entry on the list before I add them. All I have seen so far is:

US players will be able to sign up and play at our properties until the Federal Unlawful Gaming Enforcement Act is signed into law,

...from a few days ago which indicates you are right as of now.

It may just have slipped by me but I'll go dig around.

Casinos and USA players

This is just a real shame more and more freedom has been taken away from us. At the rate things are going the United States we will become a communist country. Here is a link i found Old / Expired Link

I understand that we have a issue of terrorism, but we cant live our lives in fear and take away the freedoms given to us. We have the right to do what we choose to in our own homes. IMO taking away the many freedoms or rescrictions we have seen over the past few years is like letting terrorist win!

Making online gambling ilegal wont slove the issues we have in the USA. If they want to get rid of gambling then stop the lottery to! after all that is used to fund schools, talk about a bunch of hypocrites

I dont think this law really has much to do with the corruption they claim it is casuing. Why is it that the USA goverment wants to spend time and money on prohibition of gambling online. (will liquor be next??)

Dont they have other issues that are far more important than telling people that they cant have some entertainment in there own home??
What about the need for more jobs, starving people, war on drugs, provinding better healthcare for the eldery...I have been at the pharmacy and it breaks my heart to see a eldery person have to spend $100's just to buy the medication they need to stay alive. What about all the pedifiles online?? I guess they feel online gambling is more of a threat than protecting children online. This list could just go on and on.
Well that is my rant lol

BTW here is another casino that is restricing players from some states:

..... I haven't seen anything "official" from Kiwi and I've been at pains to verify every entry on the list before I add them...

This is from Kiwi a couple of days ago.....

Hi XXXXXX,

Due to the Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act coming into effect we regret to inform you that your Kiwi Casino account has been closed for all deposits, and we ask that you login and withdraw your balance.

We're as frustrated about this as no doubt you are, and ask again that you to join us in voicing your disapproval to your local congressman and signing up at Link Removed (Old/Invalid)

We also wanted to remind you that you can continue playing within the Kiwi Gaming network at a site set up for our US players called Kiwi Skill and we'll give you $6 FREE when you sign up!

Kiwi Skill offers over 100 exciting skill based games featuring both single player & multi player games as well as million dollar tournaments

For more information on some of these challenging games keep reading.

It goes on about their "skill" games within the Kiwi Gaming Network that would still be available to US players. But the regular casino is closed to US.

And from Fast Win (Kiwi's sister) ... Dated 10/13/06.

Hi xxxxx,

Well, it actually happened. The Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act has been signed into law! What this means to you is that FastWin Casino is no longer allowed to let U.S. based people to deposit into their FastWin accounts anymore

Any money you have in your account is still there and it waiting for you to log in and withdraw it. You are not breaking the law by doing this.

Our hands are tied, we're as frustrated about this as you are. .....

And thanks so much for this list, Simmo!. Even though I'm sure it's a royal pain to try to keep updated it is indeed a big help to those of us affected by this stupid legislation.
