Corey,

I'm not sure if you're aware of the recent developments in US online
gaming industry. In short, the US government has passed a law
that would prohibit banks, credit card companies, and other
financial institutions from processing gambling funds. This
controversial act was attached to a popular and completely
unrelated bill regarding Port Security (HR4954) early Saturday morning.
In this way, the act was passed because representatives were more
concerned with the major bill being made law and knew only in the
final minutes of the attachment.

It does NOT make it illegal for US citizens to play online, however
drastically affects your ability to enjoy your favorite poker and
casino games by making it difficult to send and receive your
deposits and winnings.

In light of these events, our software and ECash provider for
SunPoker.com, CryptoLogic and ECashDirect, have made the
decision to no longer service US registered accounts.

Consequently, all accounts with US based addresses will no longer
be able to play in the casino or poker room as of 12PM EST today
October 3rd.

Your account will however be available for you to log into and
request a withdrawal of your available balance.

All other accounts with non US based addresses will remain
unaffected.

Currently it is unclear as to the longer term ramifications of
these events at CryptoLogic and should the position change, we
will notify you.

In the meantime, we are hoping to make provisions so that you
are able to continue to enjoy playing and enjoy the same levels
of service and bonuses you've come to expect from us. We will
keep you updated.

Thanks for your time, and we do sincerely apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause you.

Regards

Adam

PS: We continue to maintain that it is your individual right to be
allowed to play online responsibly in another form you see fit. We
therefore invite you to contact your Congressman (or woman) to
express your dismay as to not only the bill itself, but as to the
underhanded way in which it was passed.

Just checked 2+2. I've seen nothing about Poker Plex, but apparently some people can get into their Interpoker and Sun Poker accounts and others can't.

Interpoker said in a statement that they were closing all US accounts at noon and would mail out checks within four to six weeks.

I was lurking in Dan N. forum over at full contact, and someone posted that Sun has shut it's doors also. Apparently all the sites on the Cryptos are out of the picture.

I know someone who just tried to get into his Sun account and a window popped up saying his account has been disabled. Goodbye monthlies

Yep. They apparently have all closed down to us. It appears to be not a decision of the individual sites but of E-Cash Direct and Cryptologic.

So if you still have money in your account, the check is in the mail, you should get it in time to buy those last-minute Christmas gifts.
