****THIS IS FOR THE TRUMP ADMIN, NOT THE OBAMA ADMIN****

On April 15, 2011 the U.S. Department of Justice unsealed a 52-page indictment against top executives of PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and Absolute Poker, as well as a civil complaint against those companies. Those named in the indictment faced years in prison while the civil complaint sought $3 billion in assets from the sites. PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker immediately stopped serving U.S. players, with Absolute Poker and its sister site UltimateBet (of the Cereus Network) following suit afterwards.

Poker, including online poker is a game of skill. Unfortunately the current United States Government doesn't think of it this way. Not only did they interrupt the lives of these companies but millions of peoples lives through out the USA the day they decided to be the controlling establishment they tried to be. Instead of coming up with a way to regulate the fairness and tax the winnings of withdraws of USA players they wanted to target and take the profits of the poker sites to get paid all at once. Sir President elect, please look into the current regulations and see what can be done to allow these sites to serve the US market and allow play with all players of the site including their international player base. All others please encourage change, invite these sites back to the USA.
