DOJ Seizes Poker Sites Pokerstars.com & Fulltiltpoker.com
Gah. Many of you might have seen this already, but the DOJ has seized certain online poker sites including pokerstars and fulltilt. If you click the banners ads on this site you will likely be taken to a page that looks like this:
I guess the one reminder is that as far as we all know / believe, PLAYING poker online is not illegal. Whether it is illegal to operate a poker site is one question, but whether it is legal to play on a site like fulltiltpoker or pokerstars is totally separate.* (*Should not be construed as legal advice, just conventional belief / wisdom in the poker world.) I am not at home, but apparently the clients still work fine and people are able to play. Hopefully this all gets sorted out soon.
A reminder that you you can still sign up for a variety of other poker at our rakeback site rakeback.manhattanpokerrooms.com.
It’s back to the underground I go…
