Wow, you guys are brave. I hope you're not planning to travel to the U.S. any time soon. I have a feeling the Justice Department is going to interpret the new law just a little bit differently than you do.

It will be safe for them to travel to the US as soon as these right wing Republican religious crazies are out of office. A justice dept. that is not controlled by a right wing religious nut administration like Bush would not bother with wasting time going after online poker.

From his statements it sounds like he will be looking for viable loopholes.

The loopholes always exist, glad someone is actively pursuing them.

Can I make a Deposit to TruePoker from the United States ?

Congress passed the UIGE Act of 2006, which covers deposits made by US players to certain types of sites. Our read is that Act covers only sites which offer Sports Betting or Casino type games where you bet against the Site itself.

We are not going to be breaking any laws, we believe this Act does not apply to sites not in "the business of betting or wagering", which we are not.

We will need to see what develops in the payments processing industry over the next few weeks with respect to your ability to send money, but TruePoker's poker operations will continue for US players.

Summary:

TruePoker does NOT make or accept bets or wagers in which it has any stake in the outcome. So, our games and tournaments, and your deposits, are not covered by this UIGE Act of 2006.

TruePoker does not have a stake in the outcome of the games or tournaments we offer, in the US or anywhere else. (We do not offer casino games or sports betting, and so have no stake in the outcome and are not in the "business of betting or wagering")

Business Decisions:

Certain sites, such as Party and Pacific, have decided to abandon the US poker market as a busness decision. We view our commitment to our customes a bit differently. The Act does not outlaw playing poker on the Internet from the US, period. We certainly will accept deposits and new accounts as long as we can do so. We see NO reason to cut off play in any event under this Act.

As you do, We await developments in the payments processing industry, but it is business as usual for Truepoker's poker operations.

I see it as a good thing. True pokers the new party. This is clearly the perfect time to fight for market share.

This is pure nonsense, and you know it. If not, get a new lawyer.

I like how you relate it to "customer commitment". I'd say your site that your site is so small you have nothing to lose. You've been madly spamming these boards for a long time trying to get ANYONE to play on your site. You must be rubbing your hands in glee.

To everyone: there are many far better options than TruePoker that will also continue to service US players. Don't think this guy is the only one.

He's the only one that has came out about this, how can you not give him any credit for that.
