Bitcoin gambling site Primedice shifts its focus to Russia and China, after its decision to block US and Australia-based customers.

Last week, the company announced that it had stopped serving US and Australia-based customers due to regulatory uncertainty in both countries.

Primedice is now seeking to grow its second and third largest client bases.

“The company was not expecting to come across legal issues in neither Russia nor China,” said Primedice spokesperson. “We’ve had to give up nearly 50% of our client base but with such an uncertain legal landscape surrounding bitcoin gambling [in the US] we feel this is better off in the long run.”
