Check this out....I went to Villento today to play for fun and it said that my account was locked. I have had it downloaded for a long time to play for fun. That kind of freaked me out!! Any comments on this? Thanks.

terri351, Hello! I see you are in Ohio. I think anniemac's post
explains what happens and how to fix it smile


If you are not in a banned microgaming state and get locked:
(banned states: Michigan, Illinois, Louisiana, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Kentucky, Wisconsin, Indiana, Nevada South Dakota, New Jersey, New York)

anniemac:
As most of you know, due to the Kentucky ruling regarding domain names, MG casinos are now blocking players from the banned states. However, if your ISP is from one of these states but you actually reside in a "free" state, you will be blocked too.

You may live in Texas but your ISP address is in Kentucky. You will have your account blocked. You will need to send in documentation that shows you live in a "free" state.

You can check your ISP address here: www.whatismyip.com. Write down your IP address then go to www.arin.net and enter it under "Who is". It will tell you where your IP is located.

It sounds confusing but it's not. If it shows from a banned state and you don't live in that state, then send in ID showing different.

Sometimes is pays to use a local provider. My IP address has Texas all over it.

GREAT!!! The casino may have realized that players from free
states got locked, and manually fixed it. Or maybe the gambling
gods felt generous and intervined on you behalf. smile

Either way: GOOD LUCK!! Go win a free tournament! smile
