I’ve got a reply back from straight from E-gold on the current changes.
Hi Jude,
Yes, if you visit what’s new off the e-gold site you will see that recently we implemented an option for Online Gambling sites to refuse payments from person’s located in the USA in accordance with the Safe Ports Act and the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006.
You must choose a country for this reason otherwise your default will be US.
Another benefit to this feature is many account holder fail to provide their country in the point of contact section. This will force them to indicate their country and make it easier for us to send account holders information via postal mail if necessary.Regards,
e-gold Abuse~

Hi Jude,
Is it compulsory to update this point of contact ?
Any consequence if we don’t update ?
Tks !
JOhn
Evidently the only negative if you don’t update is that you are assumed to be in the US by default. That may limit your opportunities if you live elsewhere.
John, I think rockboy2u answered your question pretty well
I suppose if you are an online gambler, you can just open up a new e-gold account and put down a foreign country as your residence. Just make sure its not Iran…lol.
