Okay, I understand the frustration from US players, but consider two things:

#1, Your aggravation is misdirected. If you think you're pissed about US law, you should sit in on some of our board meetings. Talk to your congressman. Talk to the USDOJ. Write a letter to Obama. Get out in the street with a bumper sticker and a monkey in a little t-shirt that says "AMERICA KILLED POKER". Whatever passes for democracy these days.

Bitcoin to us is a payment method. If you think there's value in Bitcoin, then you should support our efforts to use it legally. Try depositing from the US on another poker site with your Visa card, without giving your name or your location. If you managed to get your money on, there's no earthly way you'd ever get your money back. We didn't make it this way. At least we're honest enough to just say no, we're not gonna take your deposit, and tell you to spend your time fixing the problems with your own government instead of annoying us with the fact that you live in a dictatorship run by the federal f*cking reserve. We don't want to block US players. We don't want to verify your ID. I could really not care less, personally, if you're a 9 year old mongoloid tied up in the basement of the White House for the sexual gratification of the President. (joking, people). But if we start taking your bets, we're gonna get arrested the next time we step foot on US territory. That simple. And then where do you think your money would be?

Would you run down to Thailand and screw a few boys, then head over to Colombia and grab a couple kilos of blow, and just come waltzing back through customs in Houston? No. But you think if you lie about where you live and do it on our watch, on our site, we'll mule the junk for you, right? Take off.

#2, Our signup questions are WAY less intrusive than what's asked of you from any other licensed and legitimate online casino. Any casino that takes credit cards will require a scan of your passport, another photo ID and current utility bills showing your address when you want to withdraw. What you're used to in Bitcoin are rogue betting shops that operate completely outside the law. Then you're shocked when they vanish overnight. You can't have it both ways. At StrikeSapphire, you know what you're getting is a legal casino. If you don't see that's better for the currency, I don't know what else to tell you. All we ask is your real name, your email address, and that you don't lie about what country you live in. And guess what, if you don't want to give us that? We don't want your money. Until you Americans figure out that Republicans and Democrats aren't the answer, vote in Ron Paul, and get control of your own country again, we're not about to be the easy way out for you. Stop gambling and wasting your time playing Farmville, and go out and do something useful.

I get that American players don't want to disclose anything, and every American's a special snowflake that can run around sucking up 40 gallons of gasoline a day and vote for lower taxes and more healthcare at the same time, and vote to ban gambling while illegally playing online, and ban drugs and be the biggest consumer of cocaine in the history of the universe... but we're frankly sick of getting 40 of you a day consistently lying about where you live, and y'know what? We don't give a f*ck anymore. The only reason we ever let Americans on our site was to show you what you're missing. But our conclusion is, you're lazy idiots. Get with the program, fix your country, and then come play at a real casino...until then, you're stuck with the ponzis and the crooks that'll run off with your money, and Fanny and Freddy and the Wynn and the lottery. Why should we be complicit in helping you break the laws written by your own President Bush and President Obama? If we did that, we'd be criminals living offshore. If we were offshore criminals, why not run away with your money? How would you sue us if we did? Seriously, are you dumb or something?

Think about it for a second, and understand that this is on your shoulders as a citizen. Bitcoin's not a magic bullet. The US is in deep, deep trouble and we won't do business with you. Fix your country and we'll talk later.

We've had enough of these ridiculous shenanigans. As of now, all American IPs are blocked.

Here's what we need. Google "strikesapphire". Once found DEMAND THAT HAVING BITCOINS SHOULD BE AS ENOUGH TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT. With the power of everyone here, we CAN break their love of US censorship. Get with us...Google "strikesapphire" and demand that they should no longer use use US restrictions that do no apply in Costa Rica anyway!!!! =)

SCNR

not to mention the most intrusive signup questions what the hell do you need my full name for to allow me to use my bitcoins on your site? lol, think about your demographic here guys...

Yeah, it was slightly tongue-in-cheek, but what's marketing without a little hyperbolic fluff? In case you didn't know, we've also got the Tastiest Prime Rib on the Strip, and the Coldest Beer in Town.

Surely the competition for that title was fierce.

Agree

I agree with this. +1

TLDR: Google "casino payment methods" and demand those sites list Bitcoin as a legitimate payment method.

We're moving into the next phase of our expansion. Here's our analysis of the current Bitcoin poker/casino market, in a nutshell: Where gambling's not illegal, Bitcoin's redundant as a payment method. But that shouldn't be true, because it's head and shoulders a better payment method than any other, at least for an instant-transaction casino like ours.

So since we're the best BTC casino ever, our plan is to focus on the currency first, and get all those Bitcoin skeptics onboard. At least in the gaming/casino realm, which we think has a strong future. Bitcoin should be treated as well as any other e-currency, but it's not even listed -- not on any site in that search. We deserve, and we need, at the very least to get equal treatment with the Paypals and Netellers of the world.

Here's what we need. DON'T promote us, just go to any site in that search and DEMAND THAT THEY LIST BITCOIN AS A METHOD. With the power of everyone here, we CAN break the banking rackets. Get with us...Google "casino payment methods" and demand that those sites list Bitcoin!!!! =)
