<p>I noticed that Coinbase won't allow you to make transactions to <a href="http://www.satoshidice.com/" rel="nofollow">SatoshiDice</a>. Is this due to SatoshiDice being blocked in the US due to online gambling regulations, or are there additional reasons for this restriction?</p>

<p>What other transactions have Coinbase known to have blocked, if any?</p>

Unless coinbase decides to make a statement about this, all we can do is speculate.

Is Coinbase a hosted (shared) E-Wallet, or instead is it a hybrid E-Wallet in which all transaction addresses are associated with my account and my account only?

# Why does Coinbase block SatoshiDice transactions?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-07-22)

I noticed that Coinbase won't allow you to make transactions to [SatoshiDice](http://www.satoshidice.com/). Is this due to SatoshiDice being blocked in the US due to online gambling regulations, or are there additional reasons for this restriction?

What other transactions have Coinbase known to have blocked, if any?
