Recently, PokerStars has blocked access to its site to all residents of the State of Washington. This decision was taken following a decision of the Supreme Court of the State of Washington to make unconstitutional in online poker. PokerStars has decided so to not be denied a license the great day came.
Full Tilt is also extensive reflection on this subject:
"In the light of recent legal developments, Full Tilt Poker informs all its players from the State of Washington that we follow closely and evaluate recent legal developments that have occurred in Washington with our advisors. Thus, we will have more information in the near future."
Full Tilt will play the marginal or will she stand on the same side as its big sister, PokerStars? The decision of marginality may well cost him the right to legally obtain approval in the United States.
In 2006, when the UIGEA came into force, PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker had continued to operate in the United States unlike PartyPoker because unlike Party, these two rooms did not have to answer to shareholders. It is at this time that Party has lost its rank of world leader in the world of online poker to cede it to PokerStars. Today, with the new amendments to the Act, PokerStars more attempts in addition to playing good students (which is to his advantage).
For now, Full Tilt Poker remains accessible to players from the State of Washington, but we believe that this will no longer be the case for long. It is to suggest that Cake, Merge, and Cereus will take the same route as PokerStars in the coming months.
The law is severe for players who do the bidding not the decision of the State of Washington: sanctions until five years in prison and a fine of $ 10,000 if you are caught playing at illegal online games (including poker). In Quebec, it is least punished for a car theft.
