Many poker players had been misled by another web site know for tabloid type
news and sensationalism. There is absolutely no need for US players to be
concerned about the safety of their funds or ability to continue playing
poker under the new management at Full Tilt Poker. As EOG reported
yesterday, Doyles Room has been acquired by Full Tilt Poker. Below are two
Press Releases sent to us by the fine management team behind Doyles Room and
Full Tilt Poker who just wanted to set the record straight after so much
confusion was stirred up. In view of the passage of the Unlawful Internet
Gaming Enforcement Act ("UIGEA") and the cessation of operations by Neteller
and other payment processors, the management of the Doyle Brunson Poker
Network ("DBPN") has reluctantly decided not to permit online real money
play by USA-based players at DoylesRoom.com. We know this will come as a
disappointment to you but we have taken the view that the most prudent
course of action is to conduct an orderly withdrawal from the United States
Market. Effective immediately, USA online poker players will not be
permitted to sign up for real money play or deposit funds into existing
accounts. Commencing March 1, 2007 all US play on DoylesRoom.com will be
blocked and USA players will be able to access only the cashier page. You
may withdraw your funds at any time or, should you wish to enjoy
uninterrupted play, we are pleased to announce the Full Tilt Poker has
agreed to honor your account balance and action points. This account
transfer option will be simple, immediate, allow you to maintain your action
points and take advantage of Full Tilt's wide range of fames and
tournaments. The transfer feature will be available to USA customers within
24 hours.
