VIP drops U.S./Canadian Players

Saw this at SBR this morning:

02.26.2007 (11:05 AM CST)
VIP (SBR rating A) and sister books no longer accepting new clients from the United States and Canada. Canada-based users will have access to their accounts until April 1st but new deposits will not be accepted. Existing U.S. customers that have deposited in the past may continue to use their accounts as normal. Phone wagering will no longer be offered. Customer service by phone will continue as normal.

Not a good sign…Surely this will effect Nine as well.
