As I mentioned, the email was from Sierra Star Casino, not BetRev itself.
Dear Elizabeth
As you know, Congress has passed a Bill which prohibits the acceptance of any payment instrument for the use of internet gambling. As a result, our payment processor has, with immediate effect, ceased to process any payments for US residents. This may have resulted in your being unable to make any deposit with us and if so, we apologize for any inconvenience.
We are exploring other avenues to ensure that you can continue to play in our casino on an uninterrupted basis.
We will communicate with you again shortly.
Kind Regards
Sandra – Sierra Star
Interesting notice on Black Widow, Sterling House and Grand Banks (Playtech Software, Rich Webmaster Affiliate Program):
Dear U.S.A Customer,
If you are currently residing in the United States, you unfortunately will not be able to wager with us any longer. This is due to the recent enactment of the ‘Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act’ passed by the Bush Administration on September 30, 2006.
Your account will be closed on Thursday, October 18th, 2006 at 2400 GMT. Of course your funds will be available to you in your account and we are planning a conversion to BreakAway Casino so you can still enjoy great online casino entertainment. Please check your mailbox on Thursday for an exiting offer!
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please feel free to contact us.
