[BluffTHIS!]

If they truly are going to let you play with existing funds in your account post-signing, then the only thing that makes sense in their later statement about the future, is that agree with the legal interpretation of TruePoker CEO and others that online poker isn't illegal by virtue of a company not accepting a bet or wager or having a stake in an outcome, but are concerned that existing means of depositing might nonetheless be viewed as illegal, and thus will be offering new options for same. However logically if one takes the attitude that online poker still isn't illegal, then transactions relating to same can't be either.

If they just had some intention to offer some hoakey form of poker or gambling different than what they offer now, then they wouldn't let US players continue to use existing balances to play post-signing.

However, whatever they plan, might be planned by Party as well, which is why they said US players don't need to close their accounts.
