The UK Gambling Commission has written to online sportsbooks, bookmakers and casinos telling them to block anyone with a UK IP address.
Already, Direct Bet and the Fairlay Bitcoin betting exchange have implemented this today.
It's outrageous.
Are Direct Bet and the Fairlay Bitcoin UK based?
If not, why are they blocking UK IPs?
I don't understand why everyone seems to be taking orders from the UK Gambling Commission all of a sudden without any explanation to end users.
Any more details on this would be appreciated.
