According to a recent report on their website, Chan Poker is closing it’s doors as of Aug 21, 2008.  It’s understandable that a smaller poker room like Chan just couldn’t hack it in the ultra-competitive industry.

The laws pertaining to online poker in the US make it next to impossible to compete against larger rooms who are just barreling through, and allowing US Players to deposit and play.

A room like Party was able to weather the storm while still pulling out of the US market, but you have to remember, they were the biggest, most popular online poker rooms before the US anti-gaming laws were passed.

Smaller rooms, though they are a part of larger networks, will inevitably fail in today’s market.  Even with celebrities like Johnny Chan endorsing them.

You just can’t compete with the big boys like Only Poker.

” We are actively seeking a partner to provide poker software and honor all Chan Poker player point balances for those that wish to continue playing online poker. We will keep you informed of developments on this front.”

Yea, I MIGHT want that job….

Reports came out today that the recently scolded Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet Poker are merging into one giant ‘poker’ company. Poker is in quotes because due to the recent horrible press both rooms have received regarding alleged cheating going all the way to some of the top guys, I won’t call them Poker Rooms.

It’s incredible that people are even associating with these companies after the recent scandals plastered all over industry news sites and publications. From players to sponsors, no one seems to care. And it’s the ultimate slap in the face to everyone, that the two companies (part of one umbrella company) would have the balls to merge their two alleged cheating entities into one large one.

Playing in MTTs (Multi Table Tournaments) provides an excellent buy-in/likely return ratio. Although the odds of beating out several hundred, or even several thousand opponents drag the equation down, MTT play is still a pretty good EV+ one for an experienced poker player.

There is no rake paid on individual hands, and the tournament fees that you pay upon registration are covered by rakeback too. Read More »

I just received this email from my affiliate manager over at Cake Poker:

“We have received notice from ePassporte today that they are unable to continue to provide CakePoker with merchant e-wallet services. We have since confirmed that this situation is not unique to CakePoker and is, in fact, industry wide…”

It goes on to say that they have  installed alternate funding means’ for players, and that this won’t affect anyones account balances.

This begs the question…What the hell are US players going to do?!?!?

I am in the US, and epassporte is my main funding option when I play.  It is fast, efficient, and I have never had a problem with them.  They also fund the 3 main sites that I currently play at.

It’s nothing but an inconvenience, and it’s all because of some ridiculous law that keeps US citizens from doing as they please with their hard-earned money.  In a country that has state Lotto tickets at every counter of every convenience store, we can’t play Poker.

All I have to say is this: “What A Rip Off”

If you want to play at online casinos – look no further, several online casino operators have found ALTERNATE banking methods, since according to UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) it is illegal for financial institutions to process funds for online gambling, however, it doesnt say that it is illegal for US citizens to gamble online.. that folks, is what we call a loophole.
