As part of the indictment that was the result of violations of the law by distribution of gambling proceeds the DOJ decides to promote a massive distribution of gambling proceeds
To me, that move seemed a little political. Like they are saying, we know there are millions of players and that is too many people to be pissed at us.
Exactly, having a few millions voters pissed at the Obama appointees at the DOJ with the 2012 election coming up might have flipped their decision
More likely not wanting to piss US poker players off as they begin opening shop under US regulation and taxation... xclr8tr wdbaker socal
I would think people in those countries have bigger things to worry about than their online poker account...
So the Libyans etc can play online poker, but you guys can't. I feel for you Yanks, you guys aren't really free at all. "Land of the free", my arse!
