When will other non-U.S. books start doing this I wonder?

While I was searching through the SBR archives tonight. I noticed that NordicBet denies access to U.S. residents to even browse there website in order to just check it out.

In case anyone was curious what the messege I was getting was, well here it is:

This book is nothing special, because they will cut your limits in a heartbeat if your a professional player. I mean I don't know about the rest of you guys living in the states, but this is the first time I've ever experienced seeing such a thing.

This book is worth moving out of the country for.

Pinnacle? Nah. It's all about "NDB".

I just checked the site out and it is nothing special. No NFL or baseball odds so why would anyone in this country be interested. However if you have the urge to bet Bandy......

Well your right Helmut, It's not a book Americans would want to play at. However, It just struck me odd that we were blocked from even browsing there site.

That's funny. I'm sure lots of Americans just got out of a coma and need to contact NordicBets CS for a briefing.

There are a few others. Right now Scandicbookmakers comes to mind and I know when I travel to the US the last few times Party Poker and Party bets tells me I'm located in a country that is prohibitted. I can't even log on to withdraw money.
