DAILY Telegraph owners the Barclay Brothers have closed their online gaming website The Ritz Club, because of a US crackdown on internet gambling.
The site was taken offline with the billionaire brothers blaming "the current confusion and inconsistency in online gaming legislation".

The US Department of Justice considers all forms of gambling to be in contravention of the 1963 Wire Act.
