Black Friday For US Poker Players

On April 15th the FBI seized the websites of Absolute Poker, UB Poker, PokerStars, and Full Tilt Poker virtually locking US players out of their accounts.

Sometime in the last two days, both PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker have arranged deals to have US citizens to withdraw their accounts one time.

Does This Affect Players Outside The United States?

No it doesn’t. Only US players are affected at the above poker sites. Realy money game play is still available at Absolute Poker, UB, Full Tilt, and Poker Stars just as it always has.

Where Else Can Americans Play Poker Now?

Currently the only good trustworthy poker sites left accepting US citizens are these 4 poker rooms. As for quality and overall play they are excellent. We wouldn’t list them as choices otherwise.
