It is true that you cant play freerolls at FTP and at PS but I am still allowed to register in AP/UB freerolls. So I take it that it was a call by the sites whether to allow the US in freerolls or not.

Well.. I guess the thing is that it is banking.. how would you get your money off? Those laws refer to both deposits and payouts.. so thus the reason. AP/UB are taking a further look into it before they shut down play to US players.. but they still can't allow payouts or transfers or deposits.. so what would be the point to playing there?

I play there in the event that some day it is legalized and we are allowed to deposit and receive payouts. Might I recommend the PPA to everyone as there is strength in numbers and hopefully one day this prohibition is done away with. :thumbsup

While pounding about the pros and cons of the this ban i realized that damages are much more than the benefits of banning online poker.
