Fixed the code up

var/list/beta_testers=list("")//Put your ckey here. Your ckey is basically your key without spaces or upper-case letters.
var/closed_beta=1//Set to one if closed beta, set to zero if public.

client/New()
    if(closed_beta == 1)
        if(!(src.ckey in beta_testers))//Check if the user's a tester or not.
            src << "You're not allowed to be testing this game, sorry!"//Tell the user he's not allowed to join.
            del src//Block the user from going any further.
        else
            return ..()//User is a tester, continue.
    else
        return ..()

Also try to put a sleep on the del src. The players dont even get to see the message.
