Heypoker.com announces withdrawal from United States
15 Sep 2006
As of September 18, HeyPoker.com will no longer accept customers from the USA. The reason for this decision is the ambiguous legal situation regarding gambling on the Internet in the US, where authorities have taken legal actions against certain gaming companies.
All existing US accounts will be excluded from the gaming modules, and will therefore not be accessible for gambling. However, the accounts will remain open for withdrawal of funds.
All promotions connected to US accounts will be terminated on September 18. In order to benefit from any pending promotional offers, they must be cleared prior to September 18. Also, VIP-points must be used prior to that date or else they will be lost.
