G911 article about Doyles Room

[JPFisher55]

G911, maybe a questionable source, has an article about a big annoucement from Mr. Brunson and Doyle's Room. Anyone have any ideas?

[JPFisher55]

Ok, G911 is reporting that Doyles Room is accepting US players again. Not sure if this means anything, but it could be start of a trend. However, numerous sites on the Microgaming Network accept US players.

I came up with a few possibilities.

1. Prima is letting them expand to all 50 states again.
2. New payment processor.
3. a bad beat jackpot
4. Doyle is getting arrested.

Im on board with 3 being most likely, then 2, maybe 1. 4 is just my personal dream.

Sweet! /images/graemlins/grin.gif I'm glad Doyle is coming back. As it seems the DoJ cannot do anything about online poker, I hope everyone else will follow suit. With this, the U.S. will have to decide if they want a bunch of offshore poker sites, or if they'd prefer a legal framework that permits U.S.-based sites (like the Wexler bill). Who knows...maybe some U.S. based site will open up just to test the law.

Yes, this is good news.

And yes, an American site is running, see my post earlier.

Ran / owned by Dale Earnhart Jr., Tony Stewart and other NASCAR Drivers.

Not a full service site, but a paid membership poker site.

A beginning, more so than clububt owned by the Canadian Indian Tribe, real Americans and they are Sports Figures too boot and active in the sport.

True, that's a start. Hopefully we'll get a real, full-service ring-game site someday. That will be awesome. I'm glad Doyle told the feds to screw off! Thanks Doyle!! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[oldbookguy]

I am also impressed with DE Jr, we all recall the court fight in NC over poker; skill / luck.

That site has a NC headquarters address.

So, he too is challenging the Feds and NC.

Two announcements in a day, things are looking up.

Now, if MGM guys PP and brings them back, we are REALLY going to be in business!

Huntersville is around Corneilus, Moorseville, Kannapolis, Concord, and Lexington. Pretty much every NASCAR team out there has a headquarters in one of those towns.

Seems Doyle is betting like I am that the regs are both unworkable as well as likely unconstitutional.

Way to go Doyle's lawyers!

This is great news but unfortunately for me, I live in NY. Is there any workarounds out there for players in my siruation?

I just talked with their customer support. Apparently, the only stats that are banned are louisiana and washington.

They lied. 39 state accepted per MGS rules.
