The U.S. has taken this step to make it virtually impossible to offer real money entertainment to U.S. customers. It is doubtful that the U.S. authorities will achieve their stated goals by introducing such legislation. We believe that a properly monitored forward-looking regulation would be much more effective than this general ban.
As a result of this new law, a lot of poker and casino sites no longer accept real money deposits from any NEW U.S.players.
Depositing Restrictions
As officially stated before poker and casino sites have been working on a technical solution to restrict all customers within the U.S. from depositing new funds at any of the PokerAffiliate.com brands. This solution will be implemented on Wednesday, October 25th.
Real Money Restrictions
Poker and casino sites will have implemented the technical solution to restrict all customers within the U.S. from accessing our real money games starting Monday, November 6th. After that time players will still be able to login to the site, participate in play money games and withdraw funds from their account.
If you are a U.S. affiliate currently receiving your affiliate payouts to your player account, then you will need to change your payout option. You can change this to Neteller, Moneybookers or check.
Poker and casino sites are of course very sorry for this development and hope for the time that we can work with all our affiliates again to recruit U.S. players to our real money games, as we are aiming to offer real money games as soon as the legislation allows us to.
Poker and casino sites will do their utmost to continuously keep you up to date with future developments.
