kutulu 1,548 Posted October 19, 2006 From : Keith Freeman <keith@masteringholdem.com> Sent : Thursday, October 19, 2006 1:28 AM To : <kutulu@masteringholdem.com> Subject : Internet Poker Law and more... Hi there, Thank you for being a member of the MasteringHoldem.Com community. We would like to briefly give our take on the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) and notify you of some excellent opporunties this has created. The UIGEA was signed into law on Oct. 13th by President Bush. It is important to note that the law does not criminalize poker players, but rather seeks to choke down our ability to fund our poker accounts through US banking instruments such as EFT transfers and Credit Cards. While some major poker rooms pulled out like Party Poker, many more privately owned poker rooms have chosen to stick around and fight this misguided legislation. Several important sites that are continuing to take US players are Absolute, Full Tilt, Poker Stars and more. For a full list of trustworthy poker rooms accepting US players and facts about the new law, feel free to utilize the resource pages at Poker-Strategy.Org, linked below. USA accepting Poker Rooms: http://www.poker-strategy.org/default.aspx?tabid=190 UIGEA analysis, news media, etc.: http://www.poker-strategy.org/default.aspx?tabid=191 Another important message we would like to get out to you is that for a limited time (up to October 26th), Absolute Poker is allowing us to add existing Absolute accounts to our rakeback program. This means that if you have an Absolute Poker account, that is currently NOT receiving 28% monthly rakeback bonus, you urgently need to reply to this email and find out the terms & conditions and instructions for getting your accounts mapped to our rakeback program. I hope to hear back from you! Keith Freeman www.masteringholdem.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
