weird poker thought

I read a blog today why these poker sites can still except us players and it was saying its all about the banking. and for them not breaking that law its ok basicly. But then y wouldn't pokerstars bring back the us and just change the way they bank. To me it seems like I haven't been able to win since black Friday happened.But live my hands seem to hold up just fine a major company as pokerstars wont change there banking and start excepting us but these little ass sites will hmmm. Seems weird to me what you guys think

well it sucks that we cant have pokerstars but I hope that the other sites w still can pla on aren't screwing us that would screw any chances of pokerstars and online poker returning!

bout like how weed is illeagle, a plant that naturally grows? lol... a game online that people over 18+ want to play that is played live???

shits fucken wack.. who in the helll would ban shit like that? i don't get where the idea comes from?? lol

wheres there argument for banning online poker for u.s.?? It may Be riggeD? when they have to sign rigerous and go t hroguh rigerous tests? Still wondering the argument i've read that people in debt play and they shouldn't.. Other than that.. Idk.. Hope stars comes back.. be fast cashout like it should be.

I think because when they did have the go round with the DOJ because they were using US banks, part of the settlement was to say they wouldn't open to us when they came back. ( if I remember correctly, I would have to go back through other forums to get all of the facts )

i think that is a major part of it they went around are banking laws for online gambling

anyway as i mentioned before as once a nj residence they emailed me a survey to bid (pokerstars) for online in nj

Everything in this country is drivin by money, greed has destroyed alot of things and will never change

it's not just about banking methods although that's the main reasoning..but like i was reading an article the other day, about the practices that sites like Ubet were doing..which seems to make sense at first. Then i read our governor along with some republicans (our gov is a democrat) is trying to seize control of rooms ..their main target is poker stars and full tilt, and keep most of the assets for themselves which is pretty f'd up, yet gambling on horses is ok. I'm pretty sure these guys have some sort of deal with the casinos in our surrounding states of OHio and Indiana

ya its gay our goverment shouldnt be able to bann this. I hope stars hurrys and gets this up and going damn that would be nice

That's true. One of their processors had actually bought a large part of a bank to launder money. Also one of their payment processors, Daniel Tzvetkoff, who had stolen $100,000,000 from PokerStars, FullTilt, and UB combined, gave the DOJ information that he had been keeping for a rainy day about the 3 sites to keep his own sorry ass out of jail. That's a disadvantage that the current sites operating in the US haven't had to face.

Yea I hope oneday sometiem soon we can play stars again!

Pokerstars did use a different bank method. Along with ftp and I think ultimate bet. But, party poker at the time left since they didn't want to risk anything. I'm not sure why these little sites are able to offer services, but as far as pokerstars is concerned, I'm sure they'll come back. They just haven't done anything since the agreement with the doj.

I miss Pokerstars. They had some of the best tournament listings of any site. Also I feel the software is much better than any out there now.

I haven't heard anything about this. Sure would be nice if someway, somehow things got straightened out in the near future so it's more accessible for the U.S. players as well. Unfortunately a resolution for this seems to be a long ways off, or few and far between so to speak. :-( Thankfully I guess there are a select few sites that were able to play on still.

its the behind the scene dealing that are being worked out by our government, they have to get whose all pockets will benefit before they can pass anything like this. We have lottery's and casinos but are told we cant play online for money LOL.

Arent we so happy to live in the "land of the free" where we have more "freedom than any other country in the world??? Really makes me wonder

well it kinda sounds like crap to me but who knows really

Weird poker thought of the day is online poker suks donkey dik.

I just wish we could play anywhere. That's it, I just want to play.
