A couple updates:
I emailed and asked NordicBet if they take US players. They responded almost instantaneously with a personal email (not a form email), that they absolutely accept US players. I believe NordicBet is a PrimaPoker site also.
GamesGrid also takes US players.
There are plenty of big and small sites that still accept USA players.
I think that there is not enough business to support ALL the sites that don't accept players from the USA, especially at certain hours of the day. These sights are going to find themselves really hurting in a big way.
I really appreciate everyone contributing more... | | Read Entire Entry |

Thanks for the updates guys. We now have a sticky thread in the Playing Poker forum that lists all the sites who are allowing or banning US players.
If you have more sites to add to the list (either in support of US or banning US), please post your information HERE. Please attach an email as Four Dogs did above, since we want to make the list as official as possible.
There is also a section at the above link for payment processors (online banks), so if you obtain new information regarding any of these you can use the same link I've provided above to post.
Thanks!

Add Unfair Poker to the list.
Dear Roy,
We regret to inform you that because of the recent enactment of the 'Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act' players that reside in the United States of America will no longer be able to perform any of the following actions at Fair Poker:
- deposit money
- register new payment methods and credit cards
- place real money bets
Your account is still open, and you will be able to withdraw any remaining funds.
Fair Poker has appreciated your patronage. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us by email at support@fairpoker.com or by phone at +1-866-636-3511.
Kind Regards,
Fair Poker Management

All the playtech(titan, cd,pokerocean sites are backin out one by one!! bet365prima is gone,pokerstars nordicbet(prima).I wouldnt trust any prima site, but if anyone finds a prima site that is still for sure excepting U.S players please reply the site in this thread.
Sites that I know are still accepting players are Junglepoker, Poker.com, cakepoker, Bodog, Ultimatebet, fulltilt, Absolutepoker, bugsysclub I talked to their support and they said they will stand buy U.S players. I think alot of the weaker proprietary sites will try to suck up all the orphaned market which is most of all of it.lol. Smart sites!! Another site that I havent confirmed but am pretty sure they will stand by U.S players is Mansionpoker which I like and hope they dont change.

All the Crypto sites are not allowing U.S. players now. Ultimatebet is not going anywhere right now, and WPEX has said that this law is "garbage".
I would have thought that out of any site, Party Poker would be one of the 2 or 3 major players to fight this.

WILLIAM HILL
William Hill plc has taken a decision to withdraw our online casino and poker services from all existing US clients and will refrain from offering them to US residents in the foreseeable future.
We regret to inform you that we have therefore suspended your account and you will not be able to access our casino or poker room in the future. You should also note that we do not take sports bets from US residents.
You will be allowed to withdrawal money from your account from the homepage

That's nice for them. Guess their profits were hurting more than their beliefs. As far as I'm concerned, they can kiss my ass. I don't care why they decided to let US players back in. The fact they turned their back on us in the first place says it all. Screw 'em.

I gather William Hill are now on the list, see this thread:
Well....this sucks
also, I know that WPT Online don`t allow US players and PKR 3D only allow US players to take part in play money games. In both cases, though, that`s been their position since they launched, it`s not new.

If things work out and this BS is ever resolved I say boycott these chicken shit sites after the dust settles and they want you back, unless of course they intend handing out HUGE incentives and I mean HUGE.

Eurobet (PokerRoom skin) has not allowed Americans for a couple of months. Purple Lounge (Prima skin) does not allow Americans. The entire B2B network does not allow Americans, and Poker4Ever and Everest do not allow American players (at least new ones aren't allowed).

Ok im making this thread so anyone can post any site they find that HAS ALREADY banned US players...If they have just announced it then you can post it with a date as to when it will be closed.
I have only one site that has banned my account, so to start the list
1. VC Poker - they have closed all accounts as of 9/20/06, but are still allowing cashouts
