Centrebet Suspends US Resident Accounts

[DannyWynn]

I just received this email from Centrebet, an Aussie-based company...I guess its starting:


Recent developments in United States law have forced Centrebet to suspend all accounts of clients resident in the United States effective from 26th September 2006.

According to our records you are one of the accounts affected by this change. If you are not resident in the United States, please contact our customer services department so that we can update our records and continue to service your account with the best prices on the widest range of sports.

If we do not hear from you, please be aware that you will be unable to log on to Centrebet from 26th Septemberr 2006. After this date any funds in your account will be settled (if you instruct us to do so).

Please note we are required by law to verify your identity (if we have not already done so) before we can return funds to you.

If at any time you become resident outside the US we will be delighted to re-open your account.

We apologise for any inconvenience,

Centrebet

This has always been a very sensitive issue with centrebet. Its only been in the last 2-3 years they have accepted US clients. Hardly a surprise and no reason to push the panic button in regards to lots of other books following suit.
