Two more places to add to the list, just got these emails today.....

******************************************************
It is with deep regret that I inform you that Fortune Lounge will stop accepting bets from our customers in YOU STATE, as from midday, Eastern Standard Time, on October 13th.

The Safe Ports Act passed by the US Congress on Friday, September 29, makes the transfer or direct processing of money to online gaming institutions illegal in the USA.
As a result, Fortune Lounge has no choice but to lock your casino account/s, and return all cash balances to you via check, or your preferred method of payment.

Please log into your account as soon as possible and withdraw or play through any remaining cash balance you may have. Any cash balances remaining in your accounts after Friday, October 13 will be returned.
