They cut off Australians some time ago when they bought a couple of local books here.

Seems their excuse being that they now have to be seen to comply with Australian law which disallows online in-play sports betting and they didn't have a software solution to restrict them.

Maybe something along those lines in Canada?

I called them and they said they are not allowed to accept Canadian ************ in the past few days.So they stopped dealing with Canadians.On the SBR site they are listed as having no nationality restrictions.What about Americans?Is the SBR site wrong?

that's a pretty poor excuse - surely there are alternative funding methods they could accept .... Moneybookers?
