guess you already know, but it is a very difficult day for online poker. Last night was known about the FBI investigation Pokerstars, FTP and Ultimate bet on charges of money laundering, fraud and pressuring and bribing U.S. banks to process payments.
In-network Poker Simon accomplished and is conducting a brutal Coverage of the situation for those interested.
As to the less savvy will know, a priori this will lead to a huge shift in online poker. Yesterday the majority of players cashout your funds in these rooms (including me, except for $ 7k FTP) which will result in a decrease in brutal traffic.
seems that have frozen 75 bank accounts to the defendants. Not to what extent these rooms have money in mutual funds or have the total money to be found on the net (total cash), but the latter is something that I doubt. All this cluster can lead to a situation where peten the cashouts. Moreover Pokerstars and FTP are the most competent companies in the sector, so all is not lost.
Although I am not an expert on the legal issue, better safe than sorry, and I recommend to people who cashoutee money and play in a completely safe room.
All this will be a bitch to people who take the SNE or Black Card because the VIP program will have to change rooms (especially in PS) and this coupled with the massive traffic reduction will occur much more complicated issue. Not until sustainable is the current VIP program with these changes, yesterday registered a decrease of 37% of PS movement. It also must be attentive to the tournament on Sunday, and yesterday had a lot of tournaments with a wild overlay, although winning a sunday million for nothing would be a putadón xDDDD addition to the scoop, which have a buyin wild, almost all are registered and U.S. players, so do not really know how it will proceed PS in this regard.
major companies such as Wynn Resorts have unilaterally broken their agreements with PS, something will happen to all companies associated with the rooms in the U.S. and find out.
As the landscape changes, it seems almost certain that in the medium / long PartyPoker run again become the largest room online and thousands of smaller networks grow. Short term will be lost even more traffic to be regulated poker USA, which will be the real boom of poker, but it is something that looks like it could be delayed for all this.
Finally, if you want to know a bit more about it the P-net forums have all the information. It seems that the whole plot was disclosed by an economist (Daniel Tzvetkoff) who sold these rooms a way to bypass the UIGEA and subsequently betrayed. Well now I have got a good xD
poyazo Greetings!
