Royal Vegas Poker Folds to U.S. Law

I received the following e-mail from Royal Vegas Poker:

Dear Wolverine Fan ,

It is with deep regret that we inform you that Royal Vegas Poker will stop accepting bets from our customers in MICHIGAN, as from mid-day, Eastern Standard Time, on October 13th.

The Safe Ports Act passed by the US Congress on Friday, September 29, makes the transfer or direct processing of money to online gaming institutions illegal in the USA.

As a result, Royal Vegas Poker has no choice but to lock your poker account, and return all cash balances to you via check, or your preferred method of payment.

Please log into your account as soon as possible and withdraw or play through any remaining cash balance you may have. Your poker account is: prvr15498726.

Any cash balances remaining in your accounts after Friday, October 13th will be returned.
