Re: Change in policy for True Poker?
[ QUOTE ]
One of my players forwarded this to me today
Dear US TruePoker Player:
Our records indicate that you are a resident of the State of Indiana and have deposited money in the past into TruePoker.
TruePoker is not in the business of betting or wagering. We have no stake in the outcome of any game or tournament among players.
Although TruePoker believes that the UIGE Act of 2006 does not cover our business, your State has been described as one in which it may be illegal for you to play online poker. Please check with your local attorney to determine whether your State laws prohibit your playing poker online.
We ask that you log onto TruePoker and check your listed location information. If you have relocated out of your State, to some other State, where playing poker online is not illegal, please update your information and mailing address.
If you have not changed your residence from your originally listed State, it would be imprudent for us to accept further deposits for your account and possibly illegal for you to play.

This would certainly appear to be different from TruepokerCEO's statement in OP...

The Act does not outlaw playing poker on the Internet from the US, period.

Maybe we can get an update from TruepokerCEO?
