fonzi… you are so on it! Thanks for updating the forums.
CAP has been able to get some additional details on this major story here:
PokerStars to Pay Back Full Tilt US Customers: Confirmed
Interested in getting feedback from the community. Do you think this substantial deal gives light that bigger things are coming fast in the US Market for Online Poker?
And… who’s pumped that players will be getting their deposits & winnings soon?
Love how they very directly pointed out at the start of the article
“We have admitted to no wrong-doing with regard to our past U.S. operations and can now focus all of our energy and resources on advancing our global business, which now includes operating Full Tilt Poker. You can find details of the announcement at our PokerStars press center.”
This is my favorite part:
One final word about the future U.S. market. Our settlement acknowledges that both PokerStars and Full Tilt are eligible to apply for a license in the U.S. to offer real money poker when states or the federal government offer such an opportunity. We look forward to this opportunity and are confident that we bring tremendous value, regulatory experience, market credibility and financial integrity to the marketplace.The Land based casinos must be so pissed right now.
As for things to come, I wouldn’t read much into it. I still say it will be a while before these idiots in Washington get it right.
