Rival Casinos bans Canada!!

[Kraziegurl79]

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD colSpan=2>Beginning February 1st, 2009, Canadian players will not be allowed to
register new accounts with any Rival powered casino. Existing Canadian
players will not be permitted to deposit in the casino from this point on, and will be ineligible for any bonuses.

Rival executives have made the decision to cease operations with Canadian
players because of a request from many of their suppliers located in Canada. For various reasons, these suppliers have asked Rival to sever ties with Canadian players and Rival has agreed.

February 28, 2009 at midnight EST will see all existing Canadian player accounts suspended indefinitely. Players have been urged to use the month of February to complete any wagering on active promotions and withdraw funds from their accounts. Any funds left in their account after February 28th, 2009 will not be cashable and the player will not be allowed to login to their account.

I understand now how you all must feel about being banned. I feel soooo used. LMAO. Yep, I thought that whole supplier thing was a bit odd. What are they supplying and can I have some? Taz, you're absolutely right. It is because they can't tax us. Well, that just means, I guess I have to play somewhere else. It's too bad, because I was really starting to enjoy those rivals. Guess, No ipod for me sniff

I'm wondering if the US & Canada are worried that their people are putting too much of their moneys into internet casinos that brings no revenue through taxes for their country. By stopping the internet gaming as much as they can, maybe they think that people will put their hard earned moneys into other things that can actually help the economy?? Just a thought...

With the economy in the tank, I won't be surprised if this pattern continues.
