BREAKING NEWS: Latest news about Full Tilt Closed Worldwide 30th June 2011
Due to the latest PokerStars and FullTiltPoker ban in the USA, both popular online internet poker rooms have closed their sites to the USA, this can be seen when visiting either PokerStars.com or FullTiltPoker.com the .com domain names have been seized by the FBI for violations. “This domain name has been seized by the FBI” along with a DOJ and FBI logo is now visible on both sites.
No doubt both online poker giants will contest the action taken by the US government, but it may be days, months or even years until a legal agreement is reached. I would guess the next time either PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker are active in the USA again is when or rather if they obtain a license to operate legally by means of a license.
If you are one of those millions of USA poker players looking for an alternate poker site, currently Carbon Poker, Bodog Poker and UWinPoker are still allowing American players to play for real money.
