Interpoker done

[bdawg31]

I didn't see this posted anywhere else - if it is/was - please delete. I can not even access my Interpoker account. Told me to contact support - needless to say they have their live support disabled. So I emailed them - i am sure that considering they are probably getting a gazillion other emails i will hear from them right away.

Did you have any money there?

[bdawg31]

Yeah, i had some money in there. TP had sent me an email and they say they will be refunding with checks. We will see.

I got this email in response:

Hello and thank you for contacting the Players Help support team.

We can confirm that US customers accounts have been closed due to new legislation passed in your country regarding online gambling. Furthermore, we can confirm that cheques will be sent out within the next 3-4 weeks. Should you have changed address we are asking you to kindly advise us.

I flat out DO NOT UNDERSTAND why these sites are reacting like this.

I mean, AT BEST, they should be questioning the law, or ignoring it since it doesn't affect THEM and only affects their players getting money to them from their bank. AT WORST, they should at least wait until the damn bill becomes a law. As of right now, today, nothing has changed in the U.S. anyway.

It's so ridiculous.

I can somewhat understand a publicly traded company being very cautious on this issue. However any privately owned poker site should rejoice at all the money they will pull in when people have to use their sites to play poker.

Same here. I didn't have any money in it, but the account is disabled.

Interpoker = crypto skin. So...
