If you have funds in any of these casinos or poker rooms get it out now!

Even though the President has not signed this into law they are turning thier backs quickey on the US players, remember this once they want to return.

Also, if you have not signed this do so!

This is just all a bunch of BS

How sad for us in the US. So far I have received notification of closed accounts from

Betfred
New York Casino
Joyland
USA Casino

All US players truly need to go to the site Chip has posted above and sign the petition

Hello,
Well RTG may have booted us US players but as I have posted Microgaming isnt going to let the government shut them down :P
If you already havent read my other posts and seen the email they sent to me please take the time to read it below

Dear Melissa ,

With all the sensationalism in the news, you may be wondering how the new bill will affect your ability to wager online at Villento.

The new Bill did not make online casinos illegal and did not have any legal impact on players; players will not be guilty of an offence under this Bill. The Bill referred to illegal gaming operations, which online casino and poker rooms have never been proven to be. Only online Sports Betting operations have been illegal in terms of the Federal Wire Act.

In time the Bill may have an impact on a player?s ability to make deposits, however it remains to be seen what measures are introduced to enforce this bill and what measures are actually effective.

In addition the industry is monitoring what effect (if any) the bill will have on the Alternative Payment Processors such as Neteller, Click 2 Pay, Firepay, Citadel etc, and how they are able to structure their operations so that they can continue to take deposits. These are extremely reputable payment organizations and it is likely that they will remain committed to finding solutions to allow players to deposit. Over the past years, the majority of online players have already moved from using credit cards to using one or more of these trusted alternative solutions.

In all likelihood it will be at least 1 ? 1 ? years before we see some measures being effectively applied (the proponents of the bill have allowed 270 days for possible restrictive measures to be developed, and attempts to implement the measures are likely to take even longer).

Villento remains committed to its USA players and will continue to provide an exemplary gaming experience. Villento will always honor all payouts and withdrawals, and will always uphold the high standards that are required in being a Microgaming licensed casino.

Best wishes

David
CEO Villento
Because you love to play
