Re: Thanks for Pokerroom\'s Invitation to US players to visit TruePoker
Dear PokerRoom Rep.
I called your post BS for precisely one reason, I will explain it again in detail and would appreciate a specific response.
I fully understand that the UIGEA has left you, as an arguably "responsible" publicly held company, without a US processor for transfer of funds. So be it, I fully understand why you cannot wire the player his money, or do a bank transfer, or anything similar.
What you have not responded to is why you simply cannot or will not mail him a check for money that you hold that is undisputedly his. You certainly cant deny that you have the ability to issue checks. Nor can you deny that issuing him a check for his money does not violate the provisions of the UIGEA in any way. I understand that the check will not be issued by a US bank and this will slow and to a lesser extent cost the player in conversion fees when he deposits it in a US bank. But he has already indicated that he is willing to accept that.
So, if he is willing to accept that, why cant PokerRoom?
