så følger Crypto efter

In light of these events, our software and ECash provider for
Sunpoker.com, The Sands (www.cscasino.com) and Omni Casino,
CryptoLogic and ECashDirect, have made the decision to no longer
service US registered accounts.

Consequently, all accounts with US based addresses will no longer
be able to play in the casino or poker room as of 12PM EST today
October 3rd.

hvad hvis Folk har penge på deres kontoer. kan de så ikke fat i dem=?

jo de har vist adgang til dem i nogen tid. ikke at der er så mange us spillere på cryto alligevel, men det tegner da til at der bliver ryddet godt og grundigt ud i US spillere alle steder over tiden

Der bliver sendt en check til alle de amerikanere der har penge på deres konto! (checken vil blive sendt indenfor 3-4 uger - i tilfælde af der er dansk/amerikanere der læser med i dette forum).

Jeg kom lige til at tænke på alle de danskere der tager til vegas for at spille WSOP eller prøver at leve livet som pro derover. Vil det så heller ikke være muligt for dem at logge på de forskellige pokersites der har lukket for adgangen til amerikanerne?

Foxterri som jeg forstår det er det kun bankerne derovre som ikke må sende penge til casinoerne. De siger også fx. i Crypto statement ovenfor at det kun er folk med adresse i US der vil blive banned fra siderne.

@ Genetic3

Du vil da stadig ikke kunne få pokerklienten til at forbinde, da forbindelsen stammer fra USA.

Der kommer helt sikkert services, så man kan forbinde pokerklienten - så det ser ud som man er fra et andet sted end US. Det er bare et spørgsmål tid.

Fx kan man bruge remote desktop eller citrix, og så have en computer stående uden for US.

Meeen.., det kommer til at koste et månedligt fee, så det bliver nok ikke det første fiskene investerer i.

Om ikke andet kan de komme til AP eller BCP og spille...

Allow us to inform you that Absolute Poker is a privately held business and it's executives today issued the following statement:

As the 4th largest online poker company we continue to welcome all Poker Players! AbsolutePoker.com is Absolutely confident in its ability to continue to offer United States customers the very best in Online Poker with the fastest secure deposit and payout solutions, all new and existing customers should be 100% confident in playing with the very best www.AbsolutePoker.com.”

Importantly Absolute Poker is a privately held operation, which gives our business model more flexibility and creativity in operating that our publicly held counterparts don’t have. Furthermore, the Safe Ports Act passed by the U.S. Congress on September 30th neither prohibits nor makes it illegal for any U.S. customer to transact with AbsolutePoker.com and therefore customer’s experience at AbsolutePoker.com will not change. Our business continues to run as normal and our executive team expects to see the business to continue grow in both the short and long term.

We are exploring all of our options with our existing payment processors and ensure any existing or new customer that your funds are safe and secure. Indications are that many of our payment providers will be unaffected by this law and their business will also be able to operate uninterrupted and unimpeded.

We are confident that our business, and that of our partners and suppliers, will be unaffected because while the efforts of the U.S. Congress could potentially block transactions conducted within the U.S. banking system, many of our payment providers transactions are done within the framework of the international banking system, which the U.S. Congress has no control over.

We will have continued updates and assessments of this situation, but we are confident again, that you will be able to continue to enjoy all of the offerings at AbsolutePoker.com as you always have. We look forward to having you as a customer, and being a part of our site as we grow and experience new heights in the years to come.

(PS tal med mig hvis i flytter til BCP)

Hmmm. Kunne det mon tænkes at div. pokersites ville finde det mere interessant at blive EU-godkendt, nu da deres amerikanske spillergrundlag er væk?

Det ville da være en positiv sideeffekt af alt det postyr?

kan nogen fortælle kort hvorfor absolutepoker bare fortsætter som om intet er hændt ? og ikke udelukker amerikanerne som party og andre gør ? det er ihvertilfælde sådan jeg forstår kristiantho`s indlæg

Importantly Absolute Poker is a privately held operation,

de mener vel at de har lidt mere frihed end de børsnoteret selskaber

Kristiantho, hvor fik du denne artikel fra? Kan ikke finde den på Absolutes hjemmeside.
