    Hey guys, can someone tell me the easiest way to redirect traffic from a particular country?

    I need to send US traffic elsewhere.

    Also: if anyone promotes UK bingo - what do you do with your US traffic??

    you can install geo ip module on server and check the country of the visitor in script and send redirect if its from US.
    Take on account that googlebot could be also from US, if you want to allow googlebots then check user agent before redirect.
    Not sure, but maybe you can send redirects even with htaccess instead of script...
