Pokerchamps- No More Americans....

WiSeIVIaN · #1 07-31-2006, 11:23 AM

I have an old account there, which I don't really play on, but it is discouraging to see sites continue to bad US customers. They gave me an e-mail stating that all US accounts are closed and that I should e-mail CS if I had any funds in my account, which I didn't.

If its necessary I'll post the e-mail, but I'm too lazy right now, and I figure I'll get someone else to chime in to show I'm not lieing.

Have a nice day.

This was posted on here last week I think, the newest site I have heard of banning US players is Poker4Ever.

Well damn....They just e-mailed me today, lol...

How does a site with no people like poker4ever ban half of its 20 players?

I just logged on and got this message. So I guess they didn't really ban US players outright. They just gave an excuse to keep your money when they fold, lol.

Well, if the CEO'S of these on-line gambling sites want to visit the 'good ol' U S and not be arrested then what are they to do??

The wire act has a very loose tie to unline sportbooks. Poker4ever and pokerchamps do not have online sportsbooks. Hence they are banning US users from their sites for no reason otherthan not understanding current laws, or getting ready for future laws which probably will not pass.

So what are they to do? Keep their site available to US players and come to the US, its not that hard.
