Yes.

Poker sites do not sit at the table and play. ALL betting and wagering is done by players. The UIGE Act even defines what activity constitutes making a "bet or wager" to include an assumption of risk on the outcome. A sportsbook and a casino assume risk when they accept or make a bet as the House. A poker site does not.

I don't know about TruePoker, but some sites have guaranteed tourney's. Would that not be concidered "an assumption of risk on the outcome"?
