The US-Based Casino and State Lottery Protection Act

Just saw this notice at the bottom of the page at Paradise Poker.

Sportingbet plc has been advised that it is in the best interests of its stakeholders that its business is compliant with pending legislation in the United States, being the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. Accordingly, and with effect from 10am GMT on Friday 13th October 2006, Sportingbet will no longer accept any new deposits of funds, sports bets or wagers from any US citizen. Sportingbet’s US facing websites together with their affiliated URLs and associated companies have been sold and are no longer part of the Sportingbet Group.

Good thing they know me by our London address.
