Can you guys tell please me which poker sites won't take customers from the US. I think there are several but the only one I am sure of is Ladbrokes. Thanks.

There are 3 Crypto skins that refuse Americans:

Betfair, Littlewoods, and Ritz Club.

The ones that Edfurlong speaks of and the one you mentioned are the only three that I know of that don't accept US players (Littlewoods, Ritz Club, and Ladbrokes).

I forgot about Betfair, Christina is right about that one too.

Ladbrokes are quite proud that there are no Americans allowed, they even use it in their advertising.

Victor Chandlers spinroom casino does not allow US players. That may carry over to their pokerroom, but i cant be sure.
Maybe someone knows.

I've read some Brits saying, don't play with Americans, they're all professional poker players.

Poker in Europe and Poker Daddy are two more Vic Chandler skins that do not accept Americans, I believe.

You should know, you had a skin there.

They actually have a sortable link/button to narrow the field to non-us players.

Why is that? Go UK, no snotty Americans allowed?

Money is money, no matter who or where it's from . . .

I think it's because the average online american player is better than the average non-US player. It's about money, not snot.
I like Ladbrokes.


edit: the reason is that ladbrokes is part of Hilton (I think?), so don't want to jeapordise other parent company business in the states by tripping over moral loonies or laws.

I believe Victory Poker is part of the same skin as Victor Chandler is (i.e. Platinum Poker?) Victory Poker has tons of U.S. players including myself.
