Tribeca Tables has withdrawn from the US market, it said in a statement this evening.

The decision comes after Tribeca held lengthy discussions with its attorneys about the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. The company will now focus on non-US markets.

Erik Ahlberg, newly-appointed president of Tribeca Tables, said: “We are now initiating this policy and will work closely with our customers to ensure as little harm as possible to their overall business.”

European managing director Steve Cook added that the company and its board had “taken a considerable amount of time to weigh up all the options and sought a great deal of legal and market advice. Sadly we have no alternative. We have concluded that it is the best way forward for the company.”

Tribeca’s two largest US-facing licencees are Doyle’s Room and Golden Palace. According to internet press reports Golden Palace has also decided to refuse taking casino bets from the US.

Tribeca said it would also not be taking bets from Israel and Hong Kong players and will make further announcements about its network in due course.
