CelebPoker stops accepting players from U.S.

5 Oct 2006

In response to approval of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, CelebPoker announced that it would no longer accept players located in the United States. The poker room released the following statement:

We regret to inform you that Celebpoker.com will no longer be allowed to let US players access its products and services due to the forthcoming ban on Internet gambling payment processing in the United States. This means that US players resident in the United States will not be allowed to play on any of the casino, poker or lottery products licensed from Boss Media, or use any payment service provided by Webdollar.

Boss Media will implement this policy by blocking all US registrations on Boss Media licensed products by Friday October 6, 23.00 (GMT). The second step in the implementation of the policy will be taken Thursday October 12, 23.00 (GMT), by blocking all US players from playing on any Boss Media licensed products.

In addition to this, deposits by US players will be blocked on Friday October 6, 23.00 GMT, and on Thursday October 12, 23.00 (GMT), Boss Media will block all withdrawals from Webdollar accounts by US players.

In the light of the above we urge all US CelebPoker customers to withdraw any funds held in their Webdollar account as soon as possible.
