English Harbour Casino Closes Down For Good

The English Harbour Casino has decided to close its virtual doors for good. They have decided to shut down completely and will no longer service customers. Rumor has it that they are closing due to  fear of the U.S. Department of Justice which has already seized three of the world’s largest online poker rooms, indicting executives and freezing the financial accounts of the aforementioned. Unwilling to stick around and wait to be next, they decided to close shop.

Supposedly, the United States has been engaging in scare tactics to discourage gambling sites from servicing American gamblers where internet-based gambling is illegal. Rather than deal with the tactics, they opted to stop all operations, not just those that service the U.S. market. By doing so, they are able to keep their executives out of jail and their money from being seized.  English Harbour Casino customers have been given the option of transferring their money to CasinoTitan.com, Bodgocasino.com and Winpalace.com.

The company’s final decision to shut down, came after one of English Harbour’s payment processors was stopped by government officials when getting on an airplane. English Harbour saw this is a forewarning of what was to come and decided to get out while they were still ahead.
