I don't think that can happen, Stars and Tilt paid off a bank or something like that and used false names for the payments which brought about the money laundering....I don't think Merge is in that deep.

Thanks Prozach, you got me all wound up now. :(

i was all wound up last nite for ther reasonsss LOL dry,,, now i see this toooo hahaha.. this is defo bad news tho..

The people must know

didn´t read the article, is it true ?????

Don't believe the hype (yet). Sounds like a bank seizure which happened a ton of times before.

Case in point also

Bodog, Doyle's room and True Poker.

Domains Seized, stuff happened.. They gave the DOJ the finger and it's business as usual

Right. The fact of the matter is, all they can do is seize individual payment processors because the current regulation speaks in regards to processing of payments for gambling activities. By using these 3rd party payment processors, the Poker sites are able to doge a few bullets while the processors take all the risk. It makes it very difficult to get money back and forth, however not impossible.

Same guidelines apply as always:

1) Don't deposit money you don't intend to lose.
2) Withdraw often to avoid losing a large stockpile of money if the worst happens.
3) Treat this like a game, because that's what it is.

The days of relying on poker as a means of serious income are probably over until regulation passes. If you play it to have fun, you should be able to continue to do so.

Good luck and have fun out there!
