What started as a rumor on a message board this morning was quickly conformed
as emails from the major Microgaming operators started coming in.
First The Jackpot Factory, then The River Belle / Carmen Media Group, then
the Fortune Lounge Group, Villento Brands, The Star Partner / Crazy Vegas Group.
At the time of writing, correspondence has been received from just about all the
Microgaming Operators, and it is pretty much the same message:
As of November 10, they will no longer accept any NEW players who are
residents of the United States of America.
The good news is that players who have signed up BEFORE Monday November 10 will be
able to continue playing.
We suggest that you act fast and sign up at a few Microgaming Casinos. This
means that as of Monday you will still be able to play using these accounts,
indefinitely.

Needless to say there are still many other (non-Microgaming) casinos that will continue to
welcome players from the USA - check out our
USA online casinos section.
According to our sources, most operators have taken this decision in the
light of payment processing difficulties and the recent court ruling in Kentucky
forcing many of them to block out Kentucky in addition to the 13 states already
blocked.
This may be your last chance to sign up at a Microgaming casino
so we suggest you sign up at a few of their casinos so that you are still be able to enjoy their award winning games and
the excellent service provided by many of their operators.
As always, we will keep our visitors up to speed wit the latest developments.
