I received this email today from Poker Ocean:

Dear Tracy,

Due to the recent passing of the Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act by the United States Senate on September 30, 2006, and its imminent enactment as federal law, we will no longer allow real money gaming activities from United States residents.

We regret to inform you that, consequently, we are closing your gaming account at Poker Ocean.

Your balance is available to you. You may access your account and request the withdrawal of such balance, subject to any conditions that might apply, including bonuses received.

We appreciate your patronage, and apologize for any inconvenience caused. We hope to be able to offer to you our services again in the future.

Jack Johnson

Working with some poker rooms that are sticking it out, will have updates early next week.

All games mostly buying games are going to be tough to fill. Also leagues are not going to be very fair for us players period.

going to be bery tough to get points when you can't play.

I noticed that the tourney is still listed. I know some people have withdrawn their money, me being one of them. If this tourney still plays is it going to count? I will try to play if the site lets me, but I know people who have removed it out of anger. I don't think it would be fair to those players to have this tourney count.

No it will not count.


I am looking into AP and poker.com to run out the league.

AP would be great, but I do have an issue with Poker.com. They do not allow married couples to play at the same time. Both my husband and I play in this league, and we would have to alternate who played what tourney. I have talked to them about this, and they basically said "Tough". They are the only poker room that restricts us from both playing at the same time. Just thought I would put my two cents worth in.

Chip,

Wants to say then that tourney that it was listed in 10/07 and it was carried through in the Poker Ocean, does not count for league?

No to many people didnt make it from the mail sent from the directors of Poker Ocean saying no US players.

Ok, I find very just!

:) Hey Springschick, good post and I'm glad you brought up that subject. :) My wife and I are in the same predicament with Poker.Com, but, I have not made an issue of it with them yet. If you don't mind, would you tell me if Poker.Com asked you two to send them photo ID so they would clear you to play at the same time? We had the same problem with Fair and Titan Poker. However, after a phone call, I faxed them our photo ID and within just a few hours all was cleared up. Was wondering if Poker.Com might have or may do the same thing. Thanks.
