Pokerstars has finally issued an announcement to last week’s indictment and their leaving the US poker market. Several big name pros have come out and said that players should give the poker sites some time to get things worked out and that they would get their money as soon as possible.
Poker Sites that Accept Players from the USA
“As you may have heard, we have had to suspend real money poker services to people based in the U.S. due to legal developments there.”
“The developments are confined to the U.S. and do not have any impact on your ability to continue using our services. Please be assured player balances are safe. There is no cause for concern. For all customers outside the U.S. it is business as usual.”
“Please be aware that we are currently experiencing a very high volume of emails, so our response times are delayed. We will answer player emails as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.”
April 17, 2011 Update:
-
Both the PokerStars.net Million Dollar Challenge and PokerStars.net Big Game have been cancelled.
I hope the unregulated,manipulated sites all go bankrupt and are replaced by regulated sites out of Las Vegas where you can trust the legitimacy of a deal no matter how bad a beat you suffer. PokerStars and Full Tilt are manipulated as hell. I hope they both go bankrupt.
