Full Tilt Poker
Hello,
Thank you for your email expressing concerns about the bill which passed in the US Congress on September 29th as an attachment to a Port Security conference report.
Until we fully understand the bill?s ramifications, we cannot comment on how this bill might ultimately impact the ease with which our customers will be able to transfer funds to and from FullTiltPoker. However, you should note that there is a 270-day period during which any new banking regulations will get enacted. We do not expect any impact to your playing experience before that time.
Please also note that the bill does not criminalize individuals who play poker from their computers. Instead, the bill will eventually attempt to prevent the transfer of funds to illegal gaming businesses. As poker is a game of skill, we do not assume that it will be affected by this new bill.
Full Tilt Poker is legally licensed and regulated to offer its services to anyone around the world. Because of this, we find it impractical to make definitive legal judgments as to the laws governing poker from nation to nation or state to state. It is the responsibility of each customer to determine which laws may be applicable in the location they are playing from.
We are always here to answer your questions and we thank you for playing at FullTiltPoker.
Regards,
Tania
Full Tilt Poker Support
