Rivals Now Blocking US Players
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!!!!!!!! Apparently this isn't the standalones as I can log into a couple of them. This was actually Vegas Regal who I thought was in that group.

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

That's odd.
All Rival white label casinos were removed for new USA players on April-16th = more than 2 months ago.
But none have them have informed me that ALL US accounts are now being blocked.
No big surprise though...

'Par for the course' for Rivals. Lucky for me I concentrated hard on Rivals several years back Thanks solely to that decision and Rival, I am making $0 for several months. Awesome.

I wonder if this is the same for Deckmedia and AffiliateWide casinos? They are (as I recall) the only non-white label Rivals. If not and US players can still play there, I would expect an increase in players/playing. But - sadly, that's not the case.

What's more unsettling, though, is that I even have to ask these questions. The affy programs should be telling us this in advance of these decisions!!

I can log into Deckmedia brands ok and BetPhoenix. I apparently don't have any of the Aff Wide installed so can't say about them.

Idiots that's all I can say about them ass clowns at Rival (Bonnie Chance). Half of them still owe affiliates, they cannot get money to them so I think this was the correct thing to do. Why take deposits when they know they cannot pay the players. For once they did the right thing BUT as usual they did not inform affiliates!!!
