Bad news for online poker in America
 

Pokerstars, fulltiltpoker, UB, Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker domains have been seized.

At the moment many players can still login but on pokerstars US players are getting messages saying they can no longer play for real money in their jurisdiction.

Players in Europe are able to login and play without many problems.

The good folks at BetUS have emailed their affiliates of the news and have suggested now is the best time to start promoting BetUS poker.

I checked domains and if its not hack THEY REALLY ARE!

it would be a sick hack job if it was just this but weeks ago there were rumors the doj was going after big poker sites.

I can access all these domains from California... http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/ http://www.pokerstars.com ....

yeah it's just a prank. april fools.

Its been bad news for US poker players for the last couple of years already.

It's gonna be a very quiet WSOP this summer
