ORLANDO, FL, April 19, 2011
/24-7PressRelease/ --
www.PokerEcheck.com has released new information regarding the developments surrounding the US online poker market and
poker sites accepting US players.
On April 15, 2011, the big four poker sites, Full Tilt, Pokerstars, Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker closed to US traffic. This closure is related to actions taken by the US Department of Justice against these particular sites.
This has affected an estimated 5 million players that make up the US online poker market, many of whom are trying to find another site still accepting US players. PokerEcheck.com is staying up to date with the latest news and also provides information for poker sites accepting US players.
PlayersOnly.com is one of the larger poker sites that still accepts US players and is known to have the highest credit card acceptance rate among US poker sites.
Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act
The recent events are in regards to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which was buried in a port security bill in 2006. Despite its name, it did not make the act of playing poker illegal. Instead, it focused on depositing to make it more difficult for US players to deposit. The DOJ is alleging that the big four poker sites tricked banks into accepting deposits from US players as well as other related charges.
