Full Tilt Poker Is Very Upset With US Lawmakers
Following the historic passing of Rep. Barney Frank’s HR 2267 Internet betting bill in the House Financial Services Committee last July 28th, world’s biggest online poker sites like Full Tilt Poker were sent a clear and unequivocal message that their time could soon be up. One of the key amendment to the Fulltilt Poker Referral Code bill which helped gather a 41-22 vote by the committee, was a stipulation that any sites which have been flouting the UIGEA law since its introduction to the States in 2006, will be excluded from receiving a business license to operate within the country, in the eventuality of legalization.
Full Tilt Poker, on the other hand, in its place of stopping their acceptance of US players after the UIGEA was introduced, decided to take advantage of the bill to acquire a whole flood of players. While the Full Tilt Poker Review decision to exempt them from any future operations in the US could spell the death knell for their businesses, it is still doubtful whether Uncle Sam could actually force them out of a market they mostly own.
