HEADLINE: Full Tilt Poker to Stand Pat
Body:
While many of the online
poker industry’s top sites have stated they will end
business relations with customers located in the US if the President
signs the bill designed to curb online gaming into a law, the
people behind Full
Tilt Poker are standing by their product and services.
Citing the fact that the banking industry has 270 days to implement
the new rules after the President signs the bill, Full Tilt Poker
informed its players that there will be no impact on the site
for the short term.
Trying to calm its players’ nerves, Full Tilt also helped
to clarify the grey areas surrounding the legislation via the
site’s poker blog.
“The new legislation will not criminalize individuals for
playing
online poker. Instead, the bill will eventually attempt to
prevent the transfer of funds to online
gaming. As poker is a game of skill rather than of pure chance,
we hope that it will not be affected by this new bill.”
