PokerRoom.com's response to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act
On 30 September 2006 the US Congress passed the SAFE Port Act which also contained certain provisions known as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (the Act) that will affect the processing of payments between US customers and online gaming companies, including PokerRoom.com. The legislation is expected to be signed into law by President Bush within the next two weeks.
PokerRoom.com is currently in the process of obtaining further advice with the objective of fully understanding the applicability and impact of the Act to our US players. However, until the act is signed by President George W. Bush, your gaming at PokerRoom.com and CasinoRoom.com will not change and you are still able to both deposit and cash out through the processors available on the site. The funds in your account are yours and no matter what the outcome of this act, your money can and will be transferred to you at your request.
