I dont like the idea. They are just pushing themselves further into "gambling" territory. Now lawmakers will have another reason to ban online poker.

It is understood that the company has decided not to accept sports bets from the US in an effort to limit confrontations with the anti-online gambling lobby. That is the same stance taken by established sports betting companies such as Ladbrokes, although rival Sportingbet does do so.
