Everest no longer lets US...

[Holyman]

Has anyone else got one of these letters yet? Is this how it stars? Damn government!

Dear Partner,
Due to the uncertain legal environment in the United States, we have decided to discontinue accepting U.S. players for all properties on the Grand Virtual platform. As you know, the strength of the Grand Virtual properties has always been pioneering new language versions and focusing on excellent service for our European, Asian and Latin American players. We believe this step will enable both of us to concentrate even more on these important customers.
As of July 24, we will no longer accept new U.S. players. They will neither be able to deposit nor play for real money. Any existing players you have recruited from the U.S. will be allowed to continue playing on their account for as long as they wish, and you will earn your commissions on their revenue for their lifetime with us.
At this time, we suggest you cease any U.S.-targeted marketing and refocus your efforts on other markets. If you need assistance in identifying potential markets, please contact me and I will be happy to provide you with feedback.

If you have any questions about this change, please do not hesitate to contact me at .
Best Regards,
Damian Stevens

Im guessing they didn't have a lot of American players to begin with otherwise this is a bonehead move

[Holyman]

Dont they like money?

Indeed. What bothers me more is WHY they are doing this.

Second question like this in two days for me, LOL... when did Everest start taking American players? They sure didn't used to for a long time.

Exactly, they are primarily a European room, I dont think anyone needs to worry. Lots of online poker rooms don't accept American players, just promote the other ones.
