$15 Million Invested Into Legal US Online Poker Room
May 8, 2008
When the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) was passed in late 2006 by the US government, online poker operators located in the United States went running for the hills, relocating their offices to legal jurisdictions. Most cut off US players as well, resulting in what was supposed to be a dead US market.
What really happened was that online poker players in the US found other online poker rooms that would continue to accept their deposits. While these are steadily dwindling in numbers - ePassporte just cut off their payment processing services between US residents and online gambling operators - one online poker room remained behind.
