It has been reported to Pregame.com via our offshore contacts that sportsbook BetUS will no longer be accepting new accounts from the United States. Our sources at BetUS state that current accounts will remain active and can deposit and withdraw as usual. This choice is not based on any direct issues with the U.S. Department of Justice, but rather a business decision to lower the company's profile and focus on their current customer base.

This exclusive breaking news has not been officially announced by BetUS, but contacts close to the situation assure us that the information will be made public in the next few days. BetUS representatives strongly stressed that they will be no changes with any current accounts.

Since their inception, BetUS has grown into a major player not only in the sports betting world, but also in the arenas of poker and casino play. The action they are taking is similar to the choice made by Sportsbook.com back on May 1st to not allow any new U.S. customers to sign-up, deposit and play. Expectations are for the BetUS announcement to mimic the one made by Sportsbook.com:

Both Sportsbook.com & PlayersOnly.com are ceasing U.S. player acceptance as of May 1st, 2011. Existing players with accounts opened prior to May 1st, 2011 will still be able to gamble, deposit and withdraw from our sites, but no new accounts will be allowed
