I may be late with this but, it was in my email this morning:



SUBJECT: New FirePay policy for US account holders

On September 30, 2006, the United States Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006.

Once President Bush approves the Act. FirePay firepay will no longer allow US consumer payments for online gambling merchants.


Beginning the day President Bush signs the Act, FirePay will decline any purchase transactions from US FirePay account holders at any gambling merchant site.
Ten days after President Bush signs the Act, FirePay will decline any transfer attempt made by any online gambling merchant to a US FirePay account.
All US FirePay accounts holders will continue to be able to make purchases and receive payments from non-gambling, online merchants, as well as “Deposit From” and “Withdraw To” their US bank account




This sucks

That's ok with me, firepay sucks anyway. Neteller is much better.

The part about non-gambling merchants makes me laugh. Firepay exists BECAUSE OF online gambling merchants! That's why they came about. I remember when it happened.

Strange though, I haven't gotten this email from them yet.
