Wow!
Let’s hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.
Anyone else get this email from 32Red? :Dear All,
The subject of online betting and gaming in the United Stated continues to highlight the need for legislation and regulation. We believe that in time the US Government will begin to see this industry in the same way as the UK and European Administrations and take steps to formally regulate. We have welcomed players domiciled in the United States since we began operating, with always one eye on developments in the United States of America.
However, there has been little progress to move towards regulation in the US, and in many ways the situation has worsened. After a lot of consideration, the Directors of Trafalgar Betting & Gaming have decided to prohibit American citizens domiciled in the United States from joining the 32Red Casino and Poker Room. This is effective from midnight 31st January 2004, UK time.
This has not been an easy decision, as the US still represents the single biggest online gambling market in the world.
We very much hope that this does not spoil our relationship in any way with you. The decision to prohibit US players has no bearing on the location of where our advertising partners are based. What we would ask is that if you do have the ability to geo-target advertisements on your site(s), that you exclude our creatives from United States visitors.
If you have any questions or any feedback for us on this decision, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards
Ed Ware
CEO
32Red Online Casino and Poker Roomd’oh!
Thanks, Maloy.
My bad.
This is a worrying article.
How do you suppose new casinos (like us) will be able enter the US market? (Or won’t we be able to).
