Re: TruePoker will continue to welcome U.S players
Berge,
How about a sticky for any thread where the CEO of a poker company posts that they will continue to accept US players ?

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] No, we have no stake in the outcome, nor have we risked any money in the pot. (This is not a new reading of the term. In another statute, the Wire Act, this was the interpretation in dicta in a Federal Court of Appeals ruling.) [/ QUOTE ] They provide a service for a fee...which is customer support/hosting the games etc. Basically for a fee, they let us bet against eachother. SO NO, they do not have a stake in the outcome. They get paid the same wether player A or player B wins. [/ QUOTE ] Ok, that makes it clear. I wonder why PS, PP etc. are not using this clause. [/ QUOTE ] Party has partycasino etc. Stars hasn't made an official ruling.

Re: TruePoker will continue to welcome U.S players
No. We had an agreement with them to develop a private label debit card system that never went forward. So, we have stuck with Neteller and Firepay.
We are awaiting developments in the payments processing business to determine who will or will not continue to serve the US poker market.

Re: TruePoker will continue to welcome U.S players
I like it and it seems more than reasonable. Let the legal wrangling begin. Would it be possible to comment on WTO agreements that are in place that might have a bearing on this? But I understand that your statement makes it clear that your position is that the U.S. law does not apply to you due to the nature of your business.

I will be the first one at your door as long as you feel confident that we will be able to exchange funds in both directions.

An interesting topic to be sure. I expect this greatly helps the WTO fight by Antigua, IF it draws in the UK politically. However, that is a long term fight, it would take longer than a year to bear fruit ... as well as requiring a likely change in control of Congress. (Ironic that the Republicans, who favor free trade, would impose such protectionist legislation for the US poker market )

Re: TruePoker will continue to welcome U.S players
I won't blow smoke. We will have to wait and see what develops.
We are not going to break any laws or agreements with the financial service providers, including Banks and ewallets. If they "fold" as you put it, we will do our best to replace them. Remember, NOTHING in the Act affects cashouts, a site would always be able to cash you out. There may be another loophole, but THAT would be proprietary if I can exploit it.
