Bye Royal Vegas

[cdjos]

Dear [Execptionally Poor Player] ,

It is with deep regret that we inform you that Royal Vegas Poker will stop accepting bets from our customers in NEW JERSEY, as from mid-day, Eastern Standard Time, on October 13th.

The Safe Ports Act passed by the US Congress on Friday, September 29, makes the transfer or direct processing of money to online gaming institutions illegal in the USA.

As a result, Royal Vegas Poker has no choice but to lock your poker account, and return all cash balances to you via check, or your preferred method of payment.

Please log into your account as soon as possible and withdraw or play through any remaining cash balance you may have. Your poker account is: [sad].

Any cash balances remaining in your accounts after Friday, October 13th will be returned.

We would like thank you again for your loyalty and patronage and confirm that customers, such as yourself, have always been at the heart of Royal Vegas Poker. We will be following all developments extremely closely and should the situation change, we will advise you accordingly.

Please direct any queries that you may have, or balance withdrawal requests to our support team on enquiry@fortunelounge.com or 1-866-534-1595.

Kind Regards, The Royal Vegas Poker Team * Please note that any bonus where wagering requirements have not been met will be removed.

The day they rename them the New Jersey Jets and the New Jersey Giants, I'll worry about that.

North Jersey is Southern NYC. South Jersey is Eastern Philadelphia. It's just the way it is.

Wonderful.

I just did a withdrawl and then quickly reversed it after I verified the story. Royal Vegas and all the MicroGaming sites are only closing off to US customers in 11 states:

1. Illinois
2. Indiana
3. Louisiana
4. Michigan
5. Nevada
6. New Jersey
7. New York
8. Oregon
9. South Dakota
10. Washington
11. Wisconsin

I believe those are the 11 states that have specific laws banning online gambling.

[ORGrinder]

is there a place to find info on these state specific restrictions they're refering to?

[MasterShake]

is there a place to find info on these state specific restrictions they're refering to? i live in oregon and this is the first i've heard of any restrictions.

flafishy had the explination correct. Those 11 states have laws that specifically outline online gambling as being illegal or have coure precidents (sp?) stating that existing gambling laws apply to only gambling sites as well.

[ORGrinder]

right... i'm not disagreeing. i'm just saying i've been here a while and researched this before and so i'm thinking this must be something new.

I just received an email from RV regarding a new way to make deposits to their site. I have to wait until I get home to read it but did anyone else get this?
