Rivals Now Blocking US Players

[Redbush54]

I tried to log into a Rival tonight and got the msg that my acct was blocked. I went to chat and here's the transcript. No notification at all from any Rivals. Hope the boss says to pull them all!!!!!!!! Now apparently it isn't all Rivals as I'm still able to log into stand alones. This actually was Vegas Regal whom I thought was a standalone.


info: All operators are currently assisting others. Thanks for your patience. You are currently placed in queue number 1. The average wait is 19seconds. An operator will be with you shortly.
info: You are now chatting with 'Tyrone'
Tyrone: Welcome to casino Live Chat. How may I help you?
Redbush54: i'm wondering why my account at xxxxxxx is locked
Tyrone: May I have your Login name and email address please?
Redbush54: its either Redbush or Redbush54 and the email is xxxxxxxxx
Tyrone: One moment please.
Tyrone: I am sorry to inform you that due to the US government involvement in online gambling and not permitting citizens from the USA to gamble Online we are currently unable to accept U.S. customers to register, deposit or play at the casino.
Tyrone: For this reason, unfortunately, all USA accounts have been closed
Redbush54: interesting....and since I work for an affiliate when exactly were you going to notify us?
Redbush54: is this at all Rivals now?
Tyrone: This decision was made today. I do not know when affiliate have been or will be notified about this.
Redbush54: is this for all rivals
Tyrone: As far as I know it is
info: Your chat transcript will be sent to xxxxxxxxx at the end of your chat.
Redbush54: wow amazing

Anyone else have any more info on this? we were thinking of adding some new casinos to our casino pages to promote but I don't want to waste my time doing reviews on Rivals casinos if this is indeed the case.

I am talking with Golden Cherry Casino support several hours ago. He say me, that they accept all USA players.

[Redbush54]

If they aren't a standalone all US players are blocked even existing players.

Who are some of the Rivals operators again?

[GFPC]

everyone should do a group axing of all Rival filth

[Redbush54]

If it isn't a brand of Deckmedia, Affactive, Affiliate Wide or BetPhoenix I believe all US players have now been blocked. These 4 programs are standalones and make their own decisions. There may be more but I'm sure of these. The white label rivals have to do what rival says.

Someone please correct me if any of my information is right.

This is starting to get really bad for us players and affiliates, when will the bleeding stop?

The ones that do accept us players figure they no longer have to compete with MGS or Playtech, so they don't offer bonuese of much or nothing.
