Satoshi Dice blocks all US traffic

Was only a matter of time

Quote:
Dear Community,
Beginning tomorrow, Thursday May 16, SatoshiDice.com will close to US players and all US-based IP?s will be blocked from the website. You will also see a new terms of service agreement to which you must agree if you wish to play.
This decision was made on the basis of extensive legal counsel. The best way to limit legal risk for SatoshiDice, and thereby protect its stakeholders, is to block US players.
Note that this decision does not mean that online gambling is illegal in the US, nor does it mean that Bitcoin gaming is illegal. However, the courts have not been clear on the definition of gambling, nor on what would constitute ?legitimate gaming,? nor are jurisdictions properly defined, and thus this is a proactive measure to protect those involved in the project.
Further, this decision is not being made because of any citation or notice from any government agency, whatsoever. This is not, in any way, related to the recent Gox/Dwolla court order issue. Again, it is a proactive measure, based on the prudent legal guidance of our trusted lawyers.
We believe this is a wise move for the site to perpetuate in the long term.
Further, to clarify, SatoshiDice is hosted in Netherlands, Iceland, and Ireland, and has never utilized US currency or engaged with the US banking system whatsoever.
-SD

Yea, I'm sure they just found out that allowing US players to gamble on your site is illegal. Yup, must've just learned about that.

The definition of gambling in the US is quite well defined and clear.

Now that the Harry Reid has a vested interest in it watch out. Somebody needs to give a Senator a porn site. The free tube sites would be shut down in a day.
