FBI siezes Online Poker sites - update

On April 15, top online poker sites, Pokerstars.com, FullTiltPoker.com and AbsolutePoker.com have had thier domains seized by the FBI.

Pokerstars updated their site on April 20, 2011 to address concerns that their United States players have expressed concerning money held in their accounts.

The new homepage indicates that PokerStars will no longer allow real money players from the United States.




















Pokerstars has reached an agreement with the United States Department Of Justice to allow current players to cash out their accounts.

United States players will be allowed to continue to play on the site, but for play money only.

They list a link to create a new play money account and download a new play money only application.

They also have a link to a Frequently Asked Questions page.
