More reaction to Internet gambling ban

Out:

PartyCasino: Party were one of the first sites to pull out, saying that if the bill is signed into law (which is 99.9% certain) it will be “practically impossible to provide US residents with access to its real money poker and other real money gaming sites.”

InterCasino: InterCasino uses Cryptologic licensed software and Cryptologic have issued a statement saying that: “effective immediately licensees of WagerLogic Limited, the company's licensing subsidiary, will not take wagers from U.S.-based players.”

William Hill: William Hill actually pulled out of the US market a day BEFORE Congress passed the anti-gambling act.

Littlewoods: Littlewoods are another Cryptologic site and so are in the same situation as InterCasino

888.com: 888 were quick to follow in PartyGaming’s footsteps and will pull out of the US market as soon as the bill becomes law.

32Red: 32Red told us that they are yet to make a decision but are monitoring the situation closely. As they

Coral: Coral are also undecided. As part of the OnGame network (which includes PokerRoom, one of the world’s biggest online poker sites) it is expected Coral will do whatever PokerRoom does. PokerRoom have issued a statement saying they are “in the process of obtaining further advice with the objective of fully understanding the applicability and impact of the Act to our US players.”
