Good morning...

When President Bush signed the recent bill into law, it reinforced that it was illegal for online i-gambling sites to take funds from US players. As a publicly traded UK company, PartyGaming and others have a responsibility to comply with US law, with regard to taking money from US citizens.

Being dumb. It's run by fools. That's certainly debatable. It's run by fools. Yes.

My question is why are they still advertising on TV in the US? How could people so stupid ever get to be the #1 poker site.

My question is, how could you possibly be a winning poker player?

The advertising is prepaid genius.

They pulled out because they are following the law. PokerStars did not pull out because they are breaking the law. If you do not think that PokerStars is breaking the law, then ask them why they have postponed their IPO indefinetly. Fat chance the DOJ would go after the Israeli
owned site because America is already in bed with Israel.

You guys are all a bunch of [censored] morons. No wonder this country and the US Dollar is going down the tubes. I am going to double up on my Gold and Silver positions after seeing morons like you on this forum.

Have a nice day [censored]!!!
