Rival powered casinos are no longer accepting US players in response to the 5 US poker rooms that were seized by the DOJ. American casino players running out of places to gamble online.
As of April 16th, 2011 Rivalpowered.com casinos will not be accepting players from the United States of America. Although no statement has been issued to players a livechat confirmed that new US players are blocked and testing revealed that new players are not able to create an account. All of this seems to be a direct influence by the fact that the Department of Justice has seized 5 online poker domains and now has the online gambling industry in a panic. The 5 poker domains seized are PokerStars, FullTiltPoker, UB.com, Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker.
