so I called up Mansion today and they said I could only talk to them via live chat...

Now since the English invented English

Good call - poster of the month award for that realisation.

but I do believe tacomax is from America (which leads me to believe it was more of a typo)...

Wrong. Again.

I have looked at this thread a half dozen times hoping for an update on whether they will talk on the phone with US customers, I guess I should give that up and just call them myself. LOL

My apologies, Lakerfan. I'll try to get things back on track...

Welcome to Chat.Mansion.Com, MANSION Anthony will be right with you.

MANSION Anthony:

nick: I've been hearing rumors that you are no longer willing to entertain phone calls originating from the US. Is this true?

MANSION Anthony:
Hi there Nick

nick:
Hey Anthony

MANSION Anthony:
Due to a recent change in policy, we no longer have a Toll Free number for our US Members. However,......

MANSION Anthony:
we are still more than happy to assist them in any way possible via our en=mail address or the LiveChat feature that you're on right now

nick:
I'm trying to push for you guys to have receive a rating upgrade at SBR but this revelation does not help matters...

nick:
Is this a response to recent occurences taking place in the US? It certainly appears to be.

MANSION Anthony:
It is a decision based on recent developments in the US, and is a decision that will be regularly reviewed

MANSION Anthony:
as I mentioned, it is based on recent developments in the US

nick:
Sounds good, Anthony. Thanks for the honest answers and keep up the good work over there.

MANSION Anthony:
You're welcome

MANSION Anthony:
Is there anything else I can help you with?

nick:
That should be all for now. Good day.

No problem at all. Good information isetcap, appreciate it. If this BOS situation actually affects a book like Mansion to do this, obviously the reach of the situation continues to grow.

It's not only affecting books like Mansion lakerfan...

In Thailand (where any kind gambling – excluding the lottery is illegal) the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology blocks many of the sportsbooks by IP address, so I have to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access the likes of Pinny, Betfair (but not Mansion – yet; touch wood), etc., etc.

So about a week ago, I was lazy and didn’t bother logging off my San Diego based VPN – to logon to a Malaysian VPN and although Betfair allowed me to login to my account, when I eventually went to finalize a wager – I got a system error message saying something to the effect that as they believed I was trying to place my wager from the US, they couldn’t take it!

FWIW I had logged onto Betfair hundreds of times previously from this San Diego based VPN without a problem, so it’s interesting to see that the BOS fallout has also affected Betfair’s SOP.

[JoshW]

Very interesting Ourbet. I am surprised BetFair didn't block US IPs before this, actually.

tacomax,

[ourbet]

OMG!
