i4poker.com and B2B Poker Network banning US players

[krazyace5]

Sorry if this is old news.

Dear Player,

As of September 18, i4poker.com and B2B Poker Network will no longer accept customers from the USA. The reason for this decision is the ambiguous legal situation regarding gambling on the Internet in the US, where authorities have taken legal actions against certain gaming companies.

All existing US accounts will be excluded from the poker client, and will
therefore not be accessible for playing. However, the accounts will remain
open for withdrawal of funds. As opposed to the poker client, US customers are still welcome to play at our casino.

All promotions connected to US accounts will be terminated on September 18.
In order to benefit from any pending promotional offers, they must be
cleared prior to September 18. Also, VIP-points must be used prior to that
date or they will be lost.

We do apologise for any inconvenience that may be caused by this action and express our sincere thanks for your support and patronage. We will of course inform you immediately of any change in this policy.

Kind regards,
i4poker.com

Does that make any sense?

The poker client that i4poker use is licenced by B2B, which has banned US-based players. However I don't think the casino client is provided by B2B.
