Excuse me, son, but \"legitimate\" poker operators pay US cashouts
Hi, Lee,
You wrote : "For legitimate operators that respect US law and by extension the UIGEA there is no clear legal way to administer funds transfers in US dollars to former players."
That is complete and utter nonsense. Your ignorance is exceeded only by your arrogance in insulting US players and poker companys that serve them.
That short-term charade of a "missed" window of opportunity for US players to get their money back gives lie to your assertion that somehow sending a cashout to a poker player violates US law. If you were permitted to do it then, post-UIGEA, you could do so now.
Only a deadbeat "operator" does not pay players it owes money to. Send the man his money, you should be ashamed of yourself.
You write: "We have very limited options available to us in helping former players from the USA to get back any funds that remain on their PokerRoom accounts."
Write him a check, send him a wire transfer, send him a Western Union or whatever for his cashout. If you need help in figuring out how to do it, ask Western Union or any Bank that does US dollar transactions.
Best regards,
TruePoker CEO
