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.

couldnt users do just like they do on primedice and use a vpn though? seems like theres a loophole for almost everything these days

Yes they can login using VPN and TOR . I couldn't find any news article relating to the info however, but does seem UK users have been locked out. 
But I also see Pokerstars starting to open a sportsbook in the UK just recently: http://uk.pokernews.com/news/2015/05/pokerstars-sports-betting-offering-goes-live-in-the-uk-17854.htm

Seems they will be setback as well.
