Intrade Closing to U.S. Customers

Exchange News

ATTENTION U.S. CUSTOMERS

Monday, Nov 26, 2012

We are sorry to announce that due to legal and regulatory pressures, Intrade can no longer allow US residents to participate in our real-money prediction markets.

Unfortunately this means that all US residents must begin the process of closing down their Intrade accounts. We strongly urge you to begin this process immediately:

Step 1: Close out open predictions

You must close out all open predictions before 8:00am GMT (3:00am ET) on December 23, 2012. Instructions on how to close out an open prediction can be found HERE.

If this is not done then by the deadline noted above, Intrade will close out your predictions for you at what we consider to be fair market value as of the daily session close of December 23, 2012.

Fair market value will be determined using current and historical price information, including daily close prices and recent trades. Values will be set at the absolute discretion of Intrade and will not be open for review, discussion or argument – our determination of fair market value is final.

Step 2: Withdraw funds

Please note, no customers will be charged the $4.99 monthly fee due on December 1, 2012.

Members have until December 31, 2012, to withdraw all funds from their account. Instructions on how to request a withdrawal can be found HERE.

To help you receive your funds as quickly and easily as possible, the $20 fee normally charged by Intrade for processing a wire withdrawal will be waived. Please be aware however that any fees charged by the sending and receiving bank, plus any intermediary bank the transfer is routed through will NOT be refunded by Intrade.

We understand this announcement may come as a surprise and a disappointment, and we apologize for the short notice and haste required to deal with this. We would like to sincerely thank all US customers for their custom, support and loyalty over the years.

unreal

if people in the US really wanted to be able to bet online, they would have voted REPUBLICANS in, but, they chose Obama and other libtard Senators and regulators who are anti-personal freedom

hey, I guess they just don't want to be able to bet online, what can you do

They had the option to vote differently, but they chose not to

What a dumbass. Intrade is gone not because of UIGEA but because of option regulations. Stupid lesbo.

[High3rEl3m3nt]

Emily, don't look now, but you fell for Loshak's routine. Too rich!

Loshak, you wizard!

[Emily_Haines]

Loshak, you wizard!

I don't think it is a routine. I believe he loves the GOP. He would drink their bath water if they asked him.

The fact they (GOP) chased his ass all the way too the lower Mexico Peninsula where he can put out shitty videos on the gambling industry tells you all you need to know about this idiot.

[CarpeDime]

What a dumbass. Intrade is gone not because of UIGEA but because of option regulations. Stupid lesbo.

BOOyaa

and oh yeah, jusy fyi, regulations also CAUSED THE ECONOMIC DEPRESSION which is why their are less jobs for republicans and less handouts for libtards

they wont let bankers grow the economy and create jobs they just want to raise taxes and punish hard workers and take away freedoms

im no fool

[Chi_archie]

[TheGuesser]

Loshak is hysterical. He's making fun of all the Righty Wingnuts and they don't even realize it. Seize the day!!!

[tblues2005]

I agree with Emily here because it was the GOP that started it in the first place. That is the facts here until the law gets changed.

You won the same way Mitt Romney did.

[sportsfanatic]

that's a pity. intrade has always been more accurate than the polls.

[MUHerd37]

All the blame goes to the GOP? A whopping 2 votes against the UIGEA out of over 500 votes in Congress.

Yeah, too bad we don't have a Mormon for president. Romney would have been great for the gambling industry.

exactly

the UIGEA was presented on its own, simply on the table, attached to NOTHING else

all these dems and libs COULDVE voted against it....did they? no. ask yourself why, libtards

so, stop the whining, end of conversation, these libtards have NO CLUE how the political process works

The Democrats probably could have kicked it out of the port bill if they really wanted to. They have made no attempts to get rid of it since it has passed. Barnett Frank has made 1 measly little attempt to legalize some gambling and his party said fukk this. It's the Obama administration that has been going after the books and poker sites.

[CarpeDime]

Any shit stain could do this job.

actually, I may have to take this back, you might actually be right on this one, we'll see pretty soon

i still have to go with "no", but we'll see

[Inkwell77]

Jump the fukk on this shiz VEGAS!!!

[shaunovery]

Doesnt matter who's right and who's right your land of the free country another option removed
Maybe if they don't want you to gamble online do away with the Internet
