October 18 - For leading privately-owned online poker room
Absolute Poker, it's
business as usual where US online poker players are concerned, which is great
news for American online poker fans after having their right to gamble online
curbed by the US Congress recently.
The popular online poker room released a media statement highlighting its
intention to provide a safe and secure online poker haven for US players despite
the passing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) by
Congress, signed into law by President Bush last Friday.
As one of the largest online poker rooms in the world, executives at Absolute
Poker sought extensive advise from the company's legal team and took a decision
to leave its core US online poker business largely unaffected, unlike many of
its competitors who stopped accepting American online poker players.
Said an
Absolute Poker spokesperson, 'It is the belief of our legal and
executive team that online poker is a game of skill, and the prohibitions signed
into law by George Bush apply neither to online poker nor our business.
'As such, all existing and new poker players at
Absolute Poker can rest assured
that the funds in their accounts are secure and safe and that they can continue
to enjoy playing uninterrupted poker online 24/7, 365-days a year at Absolute
Poker.'
