Default Re: Where to play now?

Since Full Tilt is in, I assume US players will have no problems opening up new accounts? I also assume they take Neteller deposits? Can anyone also lead me in the right direction for taking advantage of the best new player 'advantages' through Fult Tilt?

Thanks

yeah, letting people sign up new accounts is not a crime. if you can deposit there, you'll likely be able to do whatever you could've done a month ago

Yeah, UB has really underperformed over the last couple years. A huge reason is that they don't have the term "poker" in their name.

based on my personal conversations with representatives of Full Tilt, Bodog, and Ultimate Bet, I would recommend Ultimate Bet. They have been around since 2001, they are based on an Indian reservation in Canada (and thus have very little concern for US legislation), and they keep all their player accounts in a segregated account at the Royal Bank of Scotland.

I personally cashed out of Party and opened an account with UB yesterday.
