It is the most unfair site, lets see, the pro tables have an unfair rake, while a lower stake game can be raked more. Yet this site says its fair...what BS, I hope they do ban this or allow us business to run..this place needs to shutdown once and for all...

As many people are well aware, the United States Congress recently passed legislation that aims to make it illegal for U.S. banks to process transactions related to online gaming.

We, like all online poker players, are dismayed and saddened by these potential regulations, and are doing our best to determine what these changes will mean to our customers. We are continuing to study this legislation and, until our investigation is complete, believe it would be wrong to comment on how these new rules will impact the ability for players to transfer funds to and from Full Tilt Poker.

In the short term, we assure you that your online experience at Full Tilt Poker will not change. You will still be able to deposit and withdraw money from the site using the same methods and payment processors you have always used, and your money will remain completely safe and secure. We cannot predict how the online poker experience may change in the future, but we do not expect any immediate impact from the legislation, as the banking industry has 270 days to implement new rules after the bill is signed.

It is also important to note that, once signed, the new legislation will not criminalize individuals for playing poker online. Instead, the bill will eventually attempt to prevent the transfer of funds to online gaming. As poker is a game of skill rather than pure chance, we hope that it will not be affected by this new bill. Speculation aside, however, we will continue to work closely with organizations like the Poker Player's Alliance to lobby for an exemption for online poker and for your right to play a truly American game from the privacy of your own home and computer.

While this last-minute congressional move has undoubtedly caused concern among our players, we want to assure you that Full Tilt Poker is legally regulated and licensed to offer its services to anyone around the world and that your day-to-day experience at the site will remain unchanged in all respects.

Full Tilt Poker


It's been 2 years..... any follow up replies

For those not aware, the final regs for this are being reviewed and proposed to take effect Jan 19 2008.

I don't know if this is a bunch of bureaucratic bs or the beginning of the end for American online poker.

Yeah, doesn't really sound good for U.S. players.

"The rules, issued Wednesday, give companies until Dec. 1, 2009, to comply with a ban that covers credit-card transactions, electronic transfers and checks related to Internet gambling."

I was hoping we would of still been able to withdraw, heh.

Hopefully this all gets changed when Obama and the new administration takes over. Still some hope, heh.

I understood that the legistlation was aimed at banks and payment processors , and prevents them from funding online gambling I also have heard many arguments that poker is distinguishable from gambling becuause its a game of skill. Does full tilt have any concerns about it being considered a gambling site as opposed to a real poker site (one that provides a real game of skill) While many players including myself agree that poker is a game of skill we can not justify the way we continue to run on full tilt. We feel espeically uncomfortable when making that big bet with a monster before the river. REally feels alot like playing a house banking game (ie where your odds are a little less than favorable) Lets just say I am very skeptical of this software and the supposed RNG which seems to be offering up tons of evidence that it is in favor of redistibution of wealth particularly to the poor(underdog) Doesnt that kinda negate the skill concept, unless you love gettting alot in as a dog in a big pot?

The only reason the poker sites got lobbied, is because the politicians aren't getting thier palms greased.One hand washes the other it's been that way since the dawn of time.

Speaking of "greasing"...

I think perhaps the American players who had a few $K in their bankrolls are going the be the one's asking for some "lubrication" here soon. Shocked
