US Players Beware

Everleaf Bans Players from United States After Homeland Security Seizes Funds The US war against online poker rooms continues as the Everleaf Gaming Network is threatened with legal action. The Everleaf Gaming Network today updated the terms and conditions across its poker rooms that prohibits any residents from the United States and France from signing up or playing on the network. An announcement is expected tomorrow that confirms its withdrawal from the US and French markets. According to a representative from Minted Poker, one of the main skins on the network, the decision follows the closure of a US processor and interception of player funds. “Several weeks ago when the network lost one of the US processors, some of the processed funds were held back by what is now clear as the Department of Homeland Security,” writes the representative. “They have now also issued a letter to [cease] and desist operations in the USA, under threat of legal enforcement against...

you 93% sure merge isn't the next target?

93% wishing merge never gets targeted

but honestly, who knows. lets just get the legality rollllllin

btw, i hear there are some big stuff that might happen (positive) in congress in the next week or two w/ poker (well just ppa emails etc) - Bilat, keep us updated sir!

for the low amt of ppl that go onto those sites, the name of this thread is a litttttttttttttttle off :-) they has very low traffic from us

Neilly wtf

obv people of the land of the free should be shitpants'd right now, many assumed that they were satisfied with fucking over ftp/ps but that's clearly not the case.

trying not to panic over this hastypond, theres no need to go nuts over it.

we understand the fragility of playing any online poker from the usa, and understand the risks we are taking etc.

that being said, after going back and forth with david (hero ceo) multiple times, i'm very confident we are ok, and that if anything happens we would be reimbursed our funds.

hes a standup guy , with a pro team on the roster, including mig.com (lper) rekrul (lper) gavin griffin (badass mfer)

be water, go with the flow, hopefully we are ok.
its detriminatal in my life that hero stays open for atleast another 10 days, trust me, i've weighed this alot in my head

gl guys,
ryan

^ that won't stop USA from seizing bank accounts.

Agreed with Neilly, our money is safe on a poker site that has our poker player heros as pros.

This is the type of disturbed thinking that gets you people into heaps of trouble.

You're very confident that you are OK and y'all will be? Are you kidding me?

Do you really believe that "Hero Poker" is making heaps enough money to have the money back every single US player's roll
immediately after the United States Department of Justice seizes their bank accounts; and when they issue massive fines for this?
