I would like USA members to PM me and let me know where you can still deposit.I don't know how many non USA members we have to do FT tournaments .

It seems like cake network, merge network and bodog are the most popular sites for USA players for now.
im hoping fulltilt and pokerstars find away around it fast and feud it out for a long time... cuz if they dont the government will move onto the other sites soon... online poker will never become legal, until a rich citizen with enough pull in both the republican and democratic party, want to set up a site on US soil... someone with more political pull than the brick and mortar moguls
Based on some of the reading I've done, there are things being done in the US Government to regulate poker. As most know, online poker was NEVER illegal, but depositing was. I've read on another forum that there was a bank in Utah that was doing something wrong and that is what started all of this, but I have not seen a news report from a trusted source so I'm not going to say this is 100% true. I know there is a bill in committee to allow US players to play online poker again. It will be taxed and regulated by the US government, but it will be online poker.
Hopefully the big sites will work out some deal and allow US players full access to the sites again.
I am going to speak to the Carbon rep next week once things sort out but month end reports have to be done so think it may be two weeks before we get any poker games sorted.
I have been playing the Cash PerSuit promo at Bodog. But this is the last week of the 4 week promo.
Otherwise, I have dropped my poker play by about 50 percent. Not worth the risk of depositing anywhere, I am nervous that my checking accounts can be put on hold if the gov't wanted to cause real pain to players.
So other than a few small $1 or $2 tournaments on Feltstars, Carbonpoker and Powerpoker, and without many freeolls and bonuses, my poker career is almost at a standstill. Have funds at about 9 sites, so able to play some at DSI, Bookmaker, Doyles and Truepoker, Cake.
I think Poker is struggling right now to process anything.From what I see in my stats that is not the case for Casinos still servicing the USA.
