FirePay announced today that U.S. customers will no longer be able to use the service to fund online gambling accounts after President Bush signs the Unlawful Online Gambling Enforcement Act into law.
Ten days after Bush signs on the dotted line, all transactions from online gambling sites into the FirePay accounts of U.S. customers will be declined.
FirePay can continue to be used for other non-gambling purposes by U.S. customers.
The news is another blow for American players hoping the changes would be gradual, but with the inevitable pullout of Party Poker and the elimination of one of the major online poker site funding sources it appears the dominoes are falling quickly.
Et tu, Neteller?
