Can you please explain why you can no longer accept bets from UK IP addresses?
Are you sure about this ? I haven't ever since an announcement about this before. I don't think UK has very strict laws for this when it comes to sportsbooks . US would probably be the first country to be blocked if they did.
I seems to have missed this information, is Directbet a licensed sportsbook?
Nope, and I doubt any of the bitcoin sportsbooks are licensed.
