Ok im making this thread so anyone can post any site they find that HAS ALREADY banned US players...If they have just announced it then you can post it with a date as to when it will be closed.

I have only one site that has banned my account, so to start the list

1. VC Poker - they have closed all accounts as of 9/20/06, but are still allowing cashouts

Eurobet (PokerRoom skin) has not allowed Americans for a couple of months. Purple Lounge (Prima skin) does not allow Americans. The entire B2B network does not allow Americans, and Poker4Ever and Everest do not allow American players (at least new ones aren't allowed).

If things work out and this BS is ever resolved I say boycott these chicken shit sites after the dust settles and they want you back, unless of course they intend handing out HUGE incentives and I mean HUGE.:mad:

This thread is a great idea, it might save a lot of people money, out of curiosity are most people here from the uk, or is it an american site. I only have a few accounts and they are all uk sites. Mostly I play using william hill, its a very active site, but sometimes it causes me a few problems and I struggle to connect to the server.

The top right hand corner of each post gives details of location etc Jase, quite a lot of the members here submit their location via their profile options.

I gather William Hill are now on the list, see this thread:

https://www.cardschat.com/showthread.php?t=72687

also, I know that WPT Online don`t allow US players and PKR 3D only allow US players to take part in play money games. In both cases, though, that`s been their position since they launched, it`s not new.

Finally, a reversal:

Poker4Ever has reversed their stance, and is currently allowing American players.

That's nice for them. Guess their profits were hurting more than their beliefs. As far as I'm concerned, they can kiss my ass. :reddy: I don't care why they decided to let US players back in. The fact they turned their back on us in the first place says it all. Screw 'em.

All the Crypto sites are not allowing U.S. players now. UB is not going anywhere right now, and WPEX has said that this law is "garbage".

I would have thought that out of any site, party poker would be one of the 2 or 3 major players to fight this.

All the playtech(titan, cd,pokerocean sites are backin out one by one!! bet365prima is gone,pokerstars nordicbet(prima).I wouldnt trust any prima site, but if anyone finds a prima site that is still for sure excepting U.S players please reply the site in this thread.
Sites that I know are still accepting players are Junglepoker, Poker.com, cakepoker, bodog, UB, fulltilt, Absolutepoker, bugsysclub I talked to their support and they said they will stand buy U.S players. I think alot of the weaker proprietary sites will try to suck up all the orphaned market which is most of all of it.lol. Smart sites!! Another site that I havent confirmed but am pretty sure they will stand by U.S players is Mansionpoker which I like and hope they dont change.

Add Unfair Poker to the list.

Dear Roy,

We regret to inform you that because of the recent enactment of the 'Unlawful Internet gambling Enforcement Act' players that reside in the United States of America will no longer be able to perform any of the following actions at Fair Poker:
- deposit money
- register new payment methods and credit cards
- place real money bets

Your account is still open, and you will be able to withdraw any remaining funds.

Fair Poker has appreciated your patronage. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us by email at support@fairpoker.com or by phone at +1-866-636-3511.

Kind Regards,

Fair Poker Management

Thanks for the updates guys. We now have a sticky thread in the Playing poker forum that lists all the sites who are allowing or banning US players.

If you have more sites to add to the list (either in support of US or banning US), please post your information HERE. Please attach an email as Four Dogs did above, since we want to make the list as official as possible.

There is also a section at the above link for payment processors (online banks), so if you obtain new information regarding any of these you can use the same link I've provided above to post.

Thanks! :)
