Just got the following email from Grand Monaco advising that Microgaming is locking accounts as of this Friday? Can anyone from MG confirm this? This is the first I am hearing of this.

Dear Patrick,
On behalf of Grand Monaco we wish to thank you for your patronage up
until this time. The imminent signing of the Port Bill by President Bush
restricts internet gaming financial transactions in certain states in
the U.S., and our software provider, Microgaming will no longer accept
internet gaming from your state.
While this series of events is extremely unfortunate and we are very
disappointed in the U.S. political system, we must remain compliant with
the evolving legal environment surrounding gambling in the U.S.
We recommend that you withdraw your funds immediately or play them.
On Friday, October 13, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. EST, Microgaming is locking
all customer accounts in your state to be compliant with the new law.
Rest assured, any funds that remain in your account at that time will
be returned to you as soon as possible.
Should you have a remaining balance in your cash account once it has
been locked, please contact our Support Team using the email address
below, to arrange for funds to be paid via a method of your choice.
Email: support@grandmonacosupport.com
Rest assured, should the legal uncertainty change, we will reassess the
situation and look to provide you with a premier online gaming
experience once again.
As Casino Manager, and on behalf of all at Grand Monaco, I would like
to personally thank you for your loyalty.
With sincerest apologies,
Grand Monaco Management
