Already have accounts at WH, Inter and Sun. Including Littlewoods and Poker plex. I have a feeling that these sites are next to exempt U.S. players.
And for good reason if it means they will get arrested.
Since poker Hasnt been made illegeal yet and hopefully wont in the US.

Yes your right. We U.S. residents can play on U.K. Betting and Total Bet after Sept 15, but since we cannot open a new wallet, we will not be eligible for the monthly bonus or earning MPP's. Crytpos are slowly going down the toilet. | | Static Link |

Nicodemus, have you tried to clear the old ecash account bonus for september? From the wording of their email, I understood that ecash accounts should get the bonus until Sep. 15th.
I can confirm that at least for UKBetting, I DID get the bonus in my Ecash account for raking 200 hands in September. I also got the £25 bonus from the casino side using my Ecash account for wagering £500 (Pontoon for those who care) in September. I did accrue MPPs for the 200 raked hands using the Ecash client.
I would suggest playing these hands for both UKbetting and Totalbet right away (before Sep 15 at least) to ensure getting the bonuses.

Nicodemus, have you tried to clear the old ecash account bonus for september? From the wording of their email, I understood that ecash accounts should get the bonus until Sep. 15th.

To my knowledge, there are no affiliates that offer rakeback for Totalbet (why? I have no idea).
There are a couple I know of. You'll find one from rakerebatereview and another one by googling. I've used the previous and they're OK. The other one offers higher % so I might try them for my new acount. | | Static Link |

| Posted by: Nicodemus at August 31, 2006, 12:22 am | | Topic: UKbetting account changes Forum: Bonus Whores | There is a lot of confusion over this. I can clarify that these changes DO NOT mean what some here have indicated.
First, the new ewallet accounts set up new accounts and new clients for BOTH UKB and TB. They DO NOT replace the exisiting accounts. Further, I was able to get bonuses rom each of UKB and TB TWICE in August using both the old clients and the new clients with new accounts. I was only able to get the casino bonus at UKB once because the ewallet account doesn't access the casino yet (I expect that to change next month).
There is also an inidication on the website that the bonus for the Ecash clients will only be £15 in the future while the ewallet account will be £25. Now I see emails saying there will be no bonus at all on the Ecash clients - who knows. Also, UKB ewallet client has an option for USD not just GBP so no exchange fees from neteller and they still credit you with a £25 irrespective of the fact that it is in $.
This was great for August (£125 i... | | Read Entire Entry |

Most of the network is made up of subgroups like Peak rewards or the total/uk one. I think Ill switch one account per until im convinced no one is using it weed out accounts.

All new promotions and tournaments will be exclusively available on the new Single Wallet accounts from now on. The £25 Monthly reward, along with MPP's, will start accumulating from the moment you start playing. Please see the... | | Read Entire Entry |
