Yeah.. from what I know about truepoker, it's not really a great site right now, but presumably the 2+2 lobby could improve it a ton since their CEO is willing to talk.

Seriously. With some sort of "legal" marketing campaign there is a lot of money to be made.

Good luck to you TruePoker, I really really wish you the best and hope to be playing there very soon. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I've never played on True Poker. I don't care for the gimmick of trying to make it like a live game. But I may have to give your site a try in appreciation for having the balls to stand up to the US government while Pacific, Party and probably many others are cutting and running. Just one word of advice: Stay the hell out of the US, if you value your freedom.

everyone needs to pass the word on the Party tables so we can get all the guppies to True...

Ummm...don't point them here though..

If your legal theory holds up, it looks like Party really shot themselves in the foot by offering Blackjack, flop color sidebets, etc. Of course, they had Starluck Casino, etc. before that. It will be interesting to see what Pokerstars does. They do not, AFIK, offer any casino type games or sports betting, so, if your legal theory holds up, they would be safe. Paradise, OTOH, has blackjack and sports betting. WPEX is using poker with 100% rakeback as a loss leader for their sportsbook, so their business model seems pretty shaky right now.

We have no intention of violating any laws. However, the UIGE Act did not criminalize playing poker or operating sa poker site with US players.

(Deposit before the Act is signed if you are concerned, we plan to continue providing games to US players. We also see no restriction on cashing out players. Your ability as a practical matter to make Post-Act deposits will be subject to the financial transaction providers.)

We currently offer 100BB Nl tables at $5 BB level, I'll see about adding/changing the other levels.

Party could/would shut all this stuff down tomorrow if they thought it would save their poker room. They think the issue runs deeper than poker vs. casino vs. sports betting.

88% of their revenue is from poker! they would certainly close down the other 12% if they thought it would save the other 88%. instead, they have chosen to shut down 75% of their entire business.

I have played at True for about a year off and on. Although there are some complaints about the graphis, you really don't pay too much attention to them. Their tables and limits are limited and have the tendency to break easily. They also have numerous tourneys but there are never enough people to fill them up. However, it seems due to recent events that the traffic will pick up and I will play there almost always now. CEO keep up the good work and I hope to see many of you there.
