Hi all Since SatoshiBet launched its casino in early 2013, Bitcoin gained an exponential amount of mainstream attention, of both users as lawmakers. As a consequence we have decided, effective immediately, to close SatoshiBet.com to US players. All US-based IP's are from this moment onwards unable to access the website and any of its services. After deliberate guidance on the matter by our legal counsel, blocking US players was deemed the best way to mitigate any legal liability for SatoshiBet and its shareholders moving forward. This does not mean SatoshiBet or gambling with or without cryptocurrencies is illegal in the US. The definition by US courts is as of yet highly unclear, adding cryptocurrencies to the equation only further clouds a definite judgement. To be clear, we have not been in contact with any government institutions, this is solely a proactive measure as a reaction to the fast moving regulatory landscape of cryptocurrencies. Lastly, SatoshiBet was born out of a combined enthusiasm for cryptocurrency and gaming, it has never utilised any currencies other than cryptocurrencies for any of its transactions. Thank you for your understanding Also see http://www.coindesk.com/satoshibet-no-longer-accepting-us-customers/

In order to get the maximum amount of activity points possible, you just need to post once per day on average. Skipping days is OK as long as you maintain the average.

Interesting. Unfortunate to see such actions happen due to these legal reasons.

This is a good call to protect the site. Serious gamblers will just have to use a proxy or vpn to circumvent the ip ban.

Sad to hear, its closing to the US players. But yeah, this is an easy solution.

Thank you for your understanding
If you weren't contacted by any government agency then why weren't account holders allowed to withdraw coins? Total scam

Probably only satoshibet. As no law is there yet, and its just a measure for the future, so I doubt that other sites would shut down.

So I decide to close the site.

Wow had no idea that US made had made it illegal to play on sites like this. But I expected it though, then the government can put up their own dice site for US players, just like they did with poker during the Full Tilt takedown.

Turn off the news and read. Watch Psywar, learn something important about our society and PR, why and how it got started and how it brainwashes you.
