Wow, a poker strategy site that won't accept US customers due to the UIGEA? Since when does the UIGEA cover coaching sites?

I think they don't accept US citizens because their company is registered as an EU gambling company and bc of UIGEA (prohibited to send money from EU gambling company to US citizen or something) (it's their tell a friend system).

Regardless, I find it really odd that they weren't able to structure their company in such a way that their strategy video business couldn't be separated from their gambling business to allow them to accept US customers for their videos.

We are not a gaming/gambling operator ourselves at all.
Our legal advice made us stay out of the U.S. so far.

I'm not a lawyer, but I find it really hard to believe that a poker strategy site could fall under UIGEA prosecution. I'd strongly recommend getting a second opinion, especially considering the high percentage of your potential customer pool that you are missing out on.

And indeed, we are regularily getting various opinions on the topic.
