"PokerStars, the second biggest poker website in the US, is understood to be facing a rebellion from its banking partner, Royal Bank of Scotland, after the gambling group told its customers yesterday that it intended to ignore an anti-gambling act, expected to be signed into law by President Bush within days.

RBS, which has extensive interests in America including its Citizens subsidiary, said: "We note the passing of the bill by the US senate and will of course take the necessary steps to make sure we are fully compliant." A spokeswoman for RBS would not comment on individual clients, but the bank is believed to be spelling out its concerns over the imminent legislation to a number of businesses including PokerStars. RBS looks after PokerStars' customer accounts."

It continues to talk about a squabble between various EU countries over differing gambling laws.
