The new proposals would make it illegal for banks and credit card companies to settle payments to online gambling sites.

Playwize said that Pokerwize has not been actively marketed in the USA and, in the light of forthcoming legislation, the company does not envisage doing so.

It said that it believes that there is considerable scope for growth within the European market.
