how long has bookmaker been shut down?

Question by Mrs. BonBon: how long has bookmaker been shut down?
I was aware that fulltilt and pokerstars and a few other poker sites were shut down as of April 15th

but when did the govt start shutting down the books too?

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Hey there! Here is my post from the day after the US govt seized several gaming domains http://www.sportsbook-ratings.net/more-gambling-sites-leaving-the-usa-market/ Apparently, this is more important than getting the economy going or the 4 wars we are fighting. 😛
