Full Tilt Poker is Here to Stay
|
 October 6 - Needless to say the online gambling world has been thrown into
turmoil following the anti-online gambling legislation passed by US Congress
last week prohibiting US banks and financial institutions from accepting online
gambling-related deposits and withdraws from US-based gamblers.
However, from the ashes has risen an 'online poker phoenix' in the form of Full Tilt Poker, a leading online poker room that has not only thumbed its nose at the US legislation, but is actually standing up for the God-given right of all Americans of legal gambling age to gamble online as they see fit.
We at Online Poker Insider salute you Full Tilt Poker.
Below is an email reproduced verbatim as sent by Full Tit Poker to its registered players. Enjoy!
"Dear Online Poker Lover
Full Tilt Poker is here to stay!
As an online poker player, you have probably heard about the new legislation
passed by the U.S. Congress earlier this week that attempts to prevent you from
being able to transfer money to online gaming sites.
While this new law has prompted some sites to announce plans to abandon the U.S.
market in coming days, we assure you that Full Tilt Poker will continue to
provide all of its players - both inside and outside of the United States - with
a full complement of real money ring games and tournaments for their enjoyment.
After consultation with numerous legal experts in this field, we want to make
you aware of the following:
Legal
The new U.S. legislation does not in any way attempt to criminalize the act of
you playing online poker. By playing online at Full Tilt Poker, you are not
breaking any U.S. Federal laws.
Full Access
The passage of the new Internet Gaming law will not have any impact on your
day-to-day experience at Full Tilt Poker. We will provide all of our players,
everywhere in the world, with full access to all of our games and tournaments.
Easy Deposits and Withdrawals
We will continue to provide our players with all of the safe, secure and
convenient methods for transferring money to and from the site. In fact, in
recent discussions with our payment processors, we have been assured that this
new law will have no immediate impact on their day-to-day business. And as
always, any monies that you have on deposit with Full Tilt Poker remain
completely safe and secure.
Furthermore, we firmly believe that online poker is not encompassed by this new
legislation. In any event, we will continue to lobby for an express carve-out
for online poker and for your right to play a truly American game from the
privacy of your own home and computer.
We are excited about the future here at Full Tilt Poker and in the coming weeks
and months, we plan to roll out many new features designed to enhance your
online poker experience.
We appreciate your loyalty to our site and, in turn, want you to know that we
will remain loyal to our valued players in the United States and throughout the
world.
We look forward to seeing you at the table.
Sincerely,
Full Tilt Poker"
