Most recently PokerStars introduced the casual-player friendly &#8216;Zoom Poker&#8217; to their product suite. Having started this movement the Bodog Poker Network is now looking improve the product and listen to its customers.

The mis-statement is thus not of significance in the Commission’s assessment of the matter.&#8221;<a href="http://makepokerlegal.com/blog/alderney-gambling-control-commission-incorrectly-reported-amount-seized-from-full-tilt-poker/"> <br /><br /> (Read More)…</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This whole mess could have been avoided if the sites and PPA actually took the right route in this. That is, leaving The USA Market in 2006, then fighting very hard to bring suits challenging the UIEGA'S legality in whole, while pushing for real regulation at the same time. The sites had ample time to do so. but choose to be somewhat apathetic in their efforts. So while it is somewhat bullshit, seeing that real criminals, such as many in the financial sector and WallStreet should be the ones prosecuted; FTP, PS, and AP brought this on themselves if you step back and consider everything that has gone on.

		<description><![CDATA[First off, in spite of what FTP and PS says, this does effect players beyond The USA. 76 Bank accounts have been frozen by The Feds in 14 countries world wide. Simply put, these sites cannot meet any cash out demands because these assets, along with more assets, are frozen and  will be frozen. I expect legit payment processors to " run for cover" and distance themselves from FTP and PS. Now FTP issued a statement claiming they beleive online poker is legal, as do " some of the best legal minds in The USA"..  Well, SO DO I!! but this is not about online poker in and of itself, but offshore sites engaging in alleged fraud, in order to CIRCUMVENT THE UIEGA, tricking banks to  process these payments, when The UIEGA clearly states it is illegal for them to do so, WILLINGLY, KNOWLINGLY!]]></description>
