This offer looks too good to be true. Anyone play here yet? I can't find expiration time for bonus though.

Tower Gaming has been on a spam campaign. No one seems to know anything about them as they came out of nowhere. With the history of Ongame skin debacles I would be very careful here.

At least one other ongame sking that I have heard of is also staying open to US customers: Americas Cardroom. They said that ongame is letting the skins decide for themselves if they want to serve us customers, sounds kinda whacky, I guess time will tell.

Can't be true, otherwise FCP would not have left OnGame.

I played there, did a promo where I got Poker Office free..
I received my $50 bonus and cashout within 24 hours like other Pokerroom skins...they seem like a good site.

what do you mean be careful? Like don't deposit large amounts of money?

Futurebet is their licensor and they are getting kicked off of Ongame. This is the major reason Full Contact is leaving IMO. It certainly looks better to say it is to allow U.S. players but basically they are losing their license to be a part of Ongame.

I'm not certain how cost effective it would be to create a new license under Ongame just for themselves so it is probably most feasible to go elsewhere.

It's definitely wise to exercise caution with unknown Ongame skins.

However, I opened an account with Tower and cleared the $300 bonus. The bonus was credited and my cashout was very fast. They also don't seem to be associated with Futurebet.

Correct, they are not hosted on the Futurebet server or do anything that would make one think they are a part of Futurebet.

Enter at your own risk. FWIW a poster at BW says they would not accept him as a player as he was from the U.S. which is contrary to all of their spam.

Oh ok. At what point was he rejected? During initial account creation, or when he tried to deposit.

Creating the account I believe.
