How many of you have Bet on Bet accounts in the US? As I read the T&Cs, I noticed it said that you must not live in an area that prohibits online gambing

i.e. United States and Netherlands

This seems weird, but apparently they don't want people from the US playing. Anyone know anything about this?

thanks,
Peter.

I have an account and haven't had any problems with two cash-ins and two cash-outs.

Am a little concerned now - didn't know about that.

Thanks for the info...

Here is the full quote from the T&C:

[ QUOTE ]
2.7 You can not register or make use of the services on this website if you are based in any area which forbids the use of the types of services which the company provides, i.e. USA and Netherlands.

I find this curious since Bonuswhores doesn't mention this, but it does for another site.... additionally, I on line gambling is not banned in the US.

Quite possibly that regards their sportsbook more than the poker room. I know of several US players who have taken advantage of their rake rebate program, but i haven't played there myself.

There was never even a hint of a question about US citizens when I talked with a customer service rep.

i think you are correct AAAA.

i signed with them, and they are fully aware that i reside in the US. have also cashed out with no problems.

i think that this is a reference to all of their other gambling services, of which they have many, but poker is not a problem.

Also it might be a CYA sort of thing.
