F*cking Yank government

 

A bad day for poker all around the world.  Today the FBI seized the domain names for Pokerstars,Full Tilt and UB.  This was the message when you try and to go to the websites, and apparently if you are a United States player.

 The sites are still up and running for the rest of the world to play but the you can immediately see the drop in player pool from about 280k players to about 205k players (at the time of writing this post).

I think this has been coming since the UIGEA first hit in 2006, and for the time being things for the Americans look very uncertain and it will certainly affect the rest of the world, the French and Italians already play in a seperate player pool, and other "KNOB" governments around the world will no doubt be watching with interest.  GOD BLESS THE UNITED KINGDOM lol.

Basically the American Government dont like sites outside their country making money and them not being able to control it and tax it. Pokerstars makes like $1.5million per day and are based outside the USA, so i am sure they will get the domain name back shortly.  However i feel very sorry for all the USA based poker players who for the time being wont be able to play, especially the online pros.

Lets see what happens, dont see Pokerstars going anywhere anytime soon though.....fook you USA government, obviously its ok to bomb and kill people all over the world for oil but not for your own people to play a card game in the privacy of their own homes with their own money  LMAO!!!
