| Posted by: superius at February 15, 2007, 12:00 pm | | Topic: Littlewoods Poker bans Canadians from monthly bonus Forum: Bonus Whores | Poker sites ban players from certain countries from taking advantage of bonuses due to abuse. If you look at the T&C of many of the Prima Sites (for example) players from China or Israel, etc... are banned. From what I understand, this is usually related to some sort of bonus fraud, not simply bonus whoring, that is prevelant from that country.
Still, it is a scary thing to see a site ban Canadian players for bonus abuse. If Canada gets added to the list I'll be very upset (live in Canada) so that will suck. | | Static Link |

Dear Whore,
At Littlewoods Casino we aim to offer our players the fairest bonuses each month to reward them for their loyalty.
Unfortunately, over recent months we have seen an increase in the number of players who have been abusing this offer on a regular basis.
It is with regret that Littlewoods Casino will no longer offer Canadian players sign up or monthly casino or poker bonuses. Players from Canada will still be able to play at the casino and enjoy our comps and tournament promotions.
Should you have any further queries, please contact our support team at:
support@littlewoodscasino.com for casino and support@littlewoodspoker.com for poker.
Best of luck
Simon Dexter
Casino & Poker Room Manager.

Yes, I believe there are poker sites that ban entire countries...although I can't name one myself, perhaps someone more knowledgable can confirm. | | Static Link |

Casino I can understand, but to ban a whole country from poker bonus? Weird. I hope this doesn't spread to other cryto poker sites, or other sites in general. Are there other poker sites that ban players from a country? | | Static Link |
