Can i play poker in the US yet?

im only cashing out at the same pace I had been ... but im playing a ton more now ... trying to earn as much as possible cuz i have a feeling if they get shut down they are going to pay out all the accounts.

they have a successful sportsbook ... if poker gets shut down i'm sure they don't want all the sportsbettors to cash out all their funds.

bovada is licensed by the phillipine gov't and pays them massive taxes...doubt phillipines would ever sell them out to the feds...unless the feds catch ayre but good luck with that

but who knows the feds always find a way...

either way very weird that ultimate poker would say this seems more likely to be some form of disinformation (heard similar rumors a year ago from very reputable sources but nothing happened)

cashout requested lol

i heard from a friend of a friend that every time you breathe you are closer to dying. also heard from a friend of a friend that a friend of a friend has a friend of a friend that told a friend of a friend that poker players are poker players and can type anything into a box and make poker players believe poker players who are poker players, said a friend of an upper level management friend of a friend...insta cashing out of bovad, thank you baal stain for the wise advice!!!! eat something that doesn't spike ur insulin a few times a day fyi

their servers must be here tho right? how else do they only offer poker inside the US? why is it they don't offer to anyone outside US/canada?

servers are definitely not here, would be wayyy too ez for them to get busted and they only offer to US as bovada because thats their way of protecting the bodog brand markettingwise and legally internationally if shit hits the fan for bovada somehow

bovada is a shell of bodog comprised of many other shells that are always changing to do payment processing

the phillipine gov't hands out int'l gambling licenses very easily cuz the country is so broke and its a great way to collect taxes

you seem to know more about them than pretty much anybody i know. so what do you think the chances are that the info i'm getting is accurate?

i personally feel the chances that all the sudden random tribal casinos in cali/usa have found some leverage to shut down a multimilliondollar international company that the feds have been trying to stop for years (and founder is on ICE's top hitlist) to be around...very low lol

also seems weird coming from a brand like ultimate poker thats making no money.."stop playing the illegal site cashout your funds and come play on ultimate!!!!!"

the main worrisome thing imo is the gov't/isp's gaining full control of internet which is probably the only way they could stop bovada

either way cashing out your bovada rolls is completely retarded, even if you knew 100% that in 6 months bovada was fucked, it'd still be worth it to keep some money and keep playing lol

carbon is good but i have heard some weird stuff about them recently

ACR has more regs but has been reliable since they started and the games are solid - we could use new blood - americascardroom.eu - sign up for the debit card, takes a few weeks, its worth it. ur poker br is on u at all times in ur wallet etc

imo bovada does not get shut down, who knows tho, just keep a working br on there and keep rest on ACR ! or bank

thx skoal

The Bovada player pool is still the international BODOG player pool. The software is just branded differently in the USA. Think of it as Bovada being a Bodog skin. Highly doubt bovada gets shut down they have been going strong for a long time despite the US Government's efforts.

LOL the stupid Indian Tribes while powerful in their respective states have nothing to do with Bovada and no ability to impede their services. Ultimate has motivation to spread those lies simply to get people to move their rolls from Bovada to US Legal sites.

I have heard one tribe in california is going to open a site based on some ambiguity in the existing law pretty soon. There is a thread in NVG on 2+2 about it i'm not super caught up on it but it is of interest to me because i live here. No legislation has passed in California to allow igaming/poker so i'm doubtful however.

Basically the tribe thinks they have the right to open the site because the have sovereignty over their own lands or something like that.

For the tribes to shut down Bovada they would have to go to the feds who have already been trying.

Indians have no enforcement agency of their own obviously; they just cry to the government in rare sober moments thinking they are still entitled because their ancestors got jacked hundreds of years ago

I heard the feds might shut down pokerstars, FTP and ultimate bet....we better get our money off
