Dear Party Poker,
 

I have been trying to determine for the past year whether I should make my exclusive home for poker at Party or Stars.

I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciatinon for making this tough decision for me.

Good luck with your future endeavors and remember that having a 2% online gaming market share is better than nothing.

P.S. - I just purchased a package of golf balls with my 2.3 million remaining party points. Please deduct my shipping charges from the .97 cents you refused to return to me when I cashed out.

Regards

Party poker did not make your decision the United States congress made this decision. They will be sued by their shareholder if they knowingly break the law.

Re: Dear Party Poker,
 

Dear Party,

I finally have a reason to never deal with you again. Thanks.

Re: Dear Party Poker,
 

Eric, they can only be so sued for violating laws to which they are subject. They are not subject to US laws.

Re: Dear Party Poker,
 

Wrong. The new law doesn't relate to on line poker sites directly at all. Plus Party Poker is on the London Stock Exchange, not US. I believe Neteller made the proper decision today saying even they, as a method of funding poker sites, are not regulated by this new law in the US. Neteller says they have no employees in the US, no offices in the US and their stock is sold on the London Stock Exchange, therefore the US government cannot tell them what to do.

The new law only says financial institutions in the US cannot transfer our funds to a poker site. Also will try to have ISP's block the IP addresses of known poker sites. That's it. Doesn't get us in trouble for playing poker in our homes and doesn't get the offshore poker sites in trouble for offering us the game on line. If I was a shareholder in Party i would be suing them now for making a hastily retreat from the millions of dollars they make each month with my investment in the companies stock making the stock worth a fraction of what it was a couple weeks ago. The most Party would have to do is release any employees that are US citizens so those citizens can't be held liable by the US government. This would make them totally out of the jurisdiction of US Law like Neteller annouced today.

If all on line poker players band together and really support Neteller and all the poker sites that are not refusing US citizen participation by giving them all our business, on line poker will continue to flourish with this just being a little hiccup in the growth of our on line and brick and mortar sport. Pretty sad when men are dieing every day in a war supposedly to protect our freedom while our wimpy government leaders attach a law like this in another bill to get it passed and try to take our freedoms away.

I am 57 years old and have long said, we are becoming more communistic in our country every day with the government taking away our freedoms under the supposed need to protect us from ourselves. Shame on us for playing a sport that has a little gamble to it. And the communistic countries are becoming more free everyday as they change their rules to allow themselves to be part of the global market economy.

Yes, a percentage of us have a gambling problem that will ruin our lives, but in a free country that is our choice. The other 99% of the gamblers that enjoy poker or just plain gambling and don't let it ruin our lives should not be penalized for the 1% that have a problem. Didn't work for alcohol consumption in the prohibition days, won't work for a sport as big as poker either.

Re: Dear Party Poker,
 

Dear Party,
You ripped me off and [censored] me over soo many times as an affiliate and player. I have vowed to never return many times. Your large tournaments are the only thing that kept me but now they are even gone and I am glad your player base has moved elsewhere. Good riddance!

Re: Dear Party Poker,
 

we are becoming more communistic

Communism has nothing to do with freedom. Current and recent governments are poor examples of what communism. Most people would benefit from a good communist government.

Dear Party,

I'm through with you. Your complete disregard for your client base is the reason I don't play there anymore. Six emails to three different departments all went ignored. Now i'm ignoring you. I'm fed up with speaking to East indian robots when I call, everyone reading off scripts, not listening to a word i'm saying.

And f*** you for not fighting for your US base which has helped make you a fat cat over the years.

Re: Dear Party Poker,
 

If they are doing business with a US bank then they are breaking US law. A public company can not knowingly and openly break laws of a country that they do business in.

I don't know how to say this without sounding condescending, but you need to educate youself a bit about political idealology. I think that you are confusing communism with dictatorship, and you are correct that this country moves more and more towards dictatorship every day. A bill was passed just before the ports bill that gives the president the power to detain people without right to due process. Here is the text of the bill

Communism will never work for anything but families and small groups of people. It is simply not human nature to behave altruistically when dealing with strangers. Communist governments became totalitarion in an effort to force people to behave as they thought they should behave, not the way they actually behave. Free markets, while far from perfect, at least distribute scarce goods in a manner that is consitent with the way people actually behave, rathere than the way that starry-eyed idealists think they should behave. Any attempt to institute commonism among groups of more than , at most, a few hundred people will result in either chaos and economic collapse, or totalitarianism.

Nobody will ever benefit from evil communism. In its ideology, on paper it sounds flowery and good, something that is for the people, but in practice and execution it's a very evil persecutory dictatorship, something that has harmed mankind greatly.

It'll be a fine day when communism is finally disolved in China, Vietnam and N Korea and no longer has any elements remaining in this world.
