TruePoker will continue to welcome U.S players

[TruePoker CEO]

Can I make a Deposit to TruePoker from the United States ?

Congress passed the UIGE Act of 2006, which covers deposits made by US players to certain types of sites. Our read is that Act covers only sites which offer Sports Betting or Casino type games where you bet against the Site itself.

We are not going to be breaking any laws, we believe this Act does not apply to sites not in "the business of betting or wagering", which we are not.

We will need to see what develops in the payments processing industry over the next few weeks with respect to your ability to send money, but TruePoker's poker operations will continue for US players.

Summary:

TruePoker does NOT make or accept bets or wagers in which it has any stake in the outcome. So, our games and tournaments, and your deposits, are not covered by this UIGE Act of 2006.

TruePoker does not have a stake in the outcome of the games or tournaments we offer, in the US or anywhere else. (We do not offer casino games or sports betting, and so have no stake in the outcome and are not in the "business of betting or wagering")

Business Decisions:

Certain sites, such as Party and Pacific, have decided to abandon the US poker market as a busness decision. We view our commitment to our customes a bit differently. The Act does not outlaw playing poker on the Internet from the US, period. We certainly will accept deposits and new accounts as long as we can do so. We see NO reason to cut off play in any event under this Act.

As you do, We await developments in the payments processing industry, but it is business as usual for Truepoker's poker operations.

Let me be the first to say, good for you!

I have no idea what network you're a part of, but I will likely check it out over the weeks to come.

[TruePoker CEO]

Truepoker has been operating online, with proprietary software, since 2001. Most of our customer base is from outside the US.

We have offered games and tournaments continually since then. Basically, ALL we offer is poker, no sports, no casino. Thatis why we believe we can continue to operate for US players.

We are licensed in Kahnawake.

We have been very attentive to 2+2 viewers, I have over 1200 posts here.

if this is true, then your decision in this matter seems needlessly risky.

Do you think they'll let you keep posting from Guantanamo? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I'm joking, but seriously after an announcement like this I would be avoiding the United States at all costs.

What is your player base currently at on a typical weekday evening?

How is your NL game selection?

Only thing I know of your site is you had a deal with that one guy where if he played a bazillion hands you'd buy him an entry to the WSOP. I believe that was two years ago.
