Sportsbook.com Pulls Out of USA Market

April 27, 2011

Come May 1st, PlayersOnly, Sportsbook.com, and Superbook will no longer accept USA players. PlayersOnly and Sportsbook.com are on the Merge Network, and Superbook is on the Cake Network, but all three are owned by the same company, which has decided to pull out of the USA market. However, they will only be rejecting new USA sign ups. Those players who already have an account will still be able to play.

So if you don’t have an account with Sportsbook.com, click here to sign up before May 1st. You will still be able to play for real money and make real money deposits indefinitely after May 1st, you just won’t be able to register a new account.

All existing players at Sportsbook.com and PlayersOnly will be fine and need not worry. All of your funds are safe and secure, and you are already set. You will not be affected come May 1st, you just won’t see any new players from the US join any of these online poker rooms, which means you won’t see the amount of fish you are used to finding at Sportsbook, but you will still be able to play with real money.

This is all in light of the recent seizure of the domains of FullTiltPoker.com, PokerStars.com, AbsolutePoker.com, and UB.com by the FBI. In turn, the aforementioned online poker sites closed their doors to USA players for good. Now Sportsbook.com, PlayersOnly.com, and Superbook will do the same thing, but they will allow existing US players to remain active and continue making real money deposits and real money bets on online poker games.

If you don’t already have a Merge Network account, sign up at Sportsbook.com now before the May 1st deadline by clicking here.
