Beginning May 1, 2011, Sportscrook.com will no longer be accepting new customers from the US. It will continue to allow current customers from the US to play, however, and affiliates will continue to collect their commissions for existing clients.

The decision came on Tuesday and it was not immediately clear how long this measure would be in effect.

According to a Sportscrook.com spokesman, the US market is just about tapped out. "I think those foolish Americans are finally catching on," said Jean Martien. "We think there are untapped markets in Asia ripe for a good stiffing."

LOL. I actually wish I could still play there...

Hmm. Probably not a bad idea to create at least one alias there before the cutoff date.

Gambling911 and AK are about the least reputable news sources there are. Ill believe it when they announce it themselves.

Gonna need to get some canadian friends if its true.

oh Durito. Don't you have enough for retirement yet? Plus you got a young working(?) wife.

Is this temporary during the summer to save $$$?

Because surely Sportsbook.com isn't going to say "no thanks" to the $20 parlay favorite college kid trying to make an extra buck come August.
