those businesses that are not plc's or quoted on overseas stockmarkets yet like FTP and PS have significant flexibility in taking time to respond to the new law whereas those quoted like Party and Sportingbet have to act quickly for corpoate responsibility reasons and to put a floor under their share rpices

I expect significant consolidation in this market on a 12 month view

I spoke to live help and he said this..

Bolton Allen: Sorry Marc but due to recent changes in US legislation, all non US based accounts have been shut down.

Few hours later and they said this

Due to a recent change in ownership a new policy has been implemented which means only US customers are allowed.

Sent a few emails and slept on it, spoke to live help again this morning and they said they are working on migrating all NON Us accounts to Sportingbet.com
