Jazette Group - No more Europeans?

To my understanding this is true sir. They have fairly recently switched over to this format.

Global.sportsbook.com is officially part of WinUnited Ltd., a gaming company licensed by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority (LGA) of Malta. WinUnited Ltd. is most known for powering YouWin sportsbook (SBR rating D-)

Seems strange that books like Linesmaker and Hollywood, who I tought had
independent management have stopped non-US as well.
Obviously this was part of the deal so Youwin could take all existing
and future European players.

But it seems the Sportsbetting.ag group are still taking Europeans.

It is probably a good thing for our yanks because your european players are killing these books.

are existing customers OK or are they being given the boot?

For me this could be Mark Blandford getting back some of his company's business. Sportingbet paid more than top dollar to purchase Sportsbook.com, it nearly broke them. To hand it all back for $1 just after they had paid it all off (due to UIGEA) must have been galling for Sportingbet. Is Blandford not the major shareholder in WinUnited the parent of Youbet. This makes sense that Jazette is passing the legal part (non-US) of the business back to the rightful owner in a roundabout way. OTOH maybe I'm totally wrong.
