The jurisdiction MB refers is WASHINGTON STATE!Comment -
How recent (or old) is this communication from Matchbook?Comment -
Glad the source has been identified, but I have trouble believing it. MB might as well pull the site if they're cutting off the Americans.Comment -
According to members the party is over for all U.S. players.I believe him 100%Comment -
dont play at matchbook anyways! Just dont really understand it!Comment -
If this is not true, it sure would be nice for Matchbook to come out and publicly squash the rumors.Comment -
According to this article, it's specifically in reference to Washington state (based on a ruling by the state Supreme Court).Comment -
just before baseball, too.Comment -
First off this is almost impossible for them to do something like this as they would have to close up if they did this. There is just to much US for them to just say no more.
Anyway i read the thread on the forum where this rumor came from and it didn't seem like any credible source in any way. Plus they would have mentioned something like this in advance as they are a reputable place and not just close to the U.S. without any notice.Comment -
You are being a tad naive about it being out of the realm of possibility for MB to leave the US market without warning. You also don't seem to be familiar with the source if you're referring to the SFW thread.
Obviously I hope you're right, but the post above shows you're not exactly up to speed on these matters.Comment -
Well, Betfair is starting to invest in the US (at least from legal HORSE exchange wagering in NJ)....... maybe they would expand down the road?Comment -
i heard too that this is the last month for themComment -
how was it when pinny exited US? was it like "as of today f\*\*k off" or was there a warning period?Comment -

If true, this would be a huge set back for US players, but don't believe evrything you see on the internet. Most likely the rumor started b/c someone misunderstood the WA situationComment -
This rumor out and no big money today on matchbook...Comment -
500 dollar limit on instant deposit with a 14 day waiting period? That is shit. I really wish matchbook would get their shit together because when they are running right they are the best out there for baseball.Comment -
they are having processor issues ....they have always had these problems
they are trying there best to make customers happy but are constantly handcuffed with all these laws and regulations
i hope this rumor is NOT true but nothing surprises me anymore .... will wait and seeComment -
I know some credit accounts were shut down today. Maybe it was just sifting out some credit guys that they wanted to only be post up?Comment -
Possibly just false assumptions based on credit players who got the heads up; either way it won't help liquidity.Comment -
We need to start righting for our rights.... All our gambling rights are slipping away.

Would be nice if someone here at SBR could confirm this or put it down. This kind of trash talk is not good for what's left of the market, if untrue.Comment
