Ldorey 0 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Following an in-depth analysis of the situation and extensive legal consultation, bwin has decided to comply with the new legislation and will no longer accept any new US-resident customers for its real money gaming products, effective immediately. The company is working on technical arrangements that will prevent existing customers from accessing its real money games. Until further notice, bwin will only be offering a play money line-up to the US market. The greatly increased risk of prosecution by the US authorities, the considerable pressure on banks and payment providers coupled with the requirements for publicly listed companies leave the company no other option...

So the sky is NOT falling just yet.----------------"Following an in-depth analysis of the situation and extensive legal consultation, bwin has decided to comply with the new legislation and will no longer accept any new US-resident customers for its real money gaming products, effective immediately."That looks like very important wording to me..-----Of course if I kept reading I would have seen "The company is working on technical arrangements that will prevent existing customers from accessing its real money games. " That isn't quite so promising. Link to post Share on other sites
