    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.

    U.S. regulators on Monday sued Intrade, saying the company illegally let customers bet on options that must be traded on regulated exchanges.

    More proof of the fools who voted for obama.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
