Online poker site Bovada has stopped accepting new players from Nevada and Delaware after previously blocking new New Jersey players from the site.
Bovada, however, will continue to serve existing accounts from those states.
The move came after New Jersey gambling regulators sent cease and desist letters to several unregulated off-shore sites demanding that the sites stop advertising their sites online next to ads for legal regulated sites. The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement has said they feel the practice deceives customers into thinking the unregulated sites are legal in their state.
Several online providers have stopped accepting players from New Jersey and most—like Bovada—have extended that to Nevada and Delaware to stay clear of regulators. However, Bovada is unusual in that it is still honoring existing accounts.
