Rival Casinos Bans Canada!!

Beginning February 1st, 2009, Canadian players will not be allowed to
register new accounts with any Rival powered casino. Existing Canadian
players will not be permitted to deposit in the casino from this point on, and will be ineligible for any bonuses.

Rival executives have made the decision to cease operations with Canadian players because of a request from many of their suppliers located in Canada. For various reasons, these suppliers have asked Rival to sever ties with Canadian players and Rival has agreed.

February 28, 2009 at midnight EST will see all existing Canadian player accounts suspended indefinitely. Players have been urged to use the month of February to complete any wagering on active promotions and withdraw funds from their accounts. Any funds left in their account after February 28th, 2009 will not be cashable and the player will not be allowed to login to their account.

That really suks.I play there more than anywhere.

Hi,


Thanks for the info Krazie...this should make Al happy


sisters

WOW! That is a shocker actually! Well for once I am glad to be an American in the gambling industry. They are my favorite places to gamble.

That is sad news. However, if I had to choose between Rival or Microgaming where I am not able to play RIVAL would be it. The software is ok when you want a change but I am a true Micrograming Gurl

SS to all who play regulary at Rival

I wonder why they are doing this , we are not banned from any other software.

Kraziegurl79,

Thanks for posting. I have received a few emails about this today from most of the Rival casinos (it will apply to ALL of course).

kaykyl,

It does mention in the first topic, "because of a request from many of their suppliers located in Canada" ... not much detail and I'm not sure why they would ask that - I'm sure someone will shed some light for the 'real' reason (the reason behind the reason)..

Thanks
