No more Pokershare for Americans

[Clownfish]

We would like to thank you for being a member of PokerShare. We are writing to inform you that due to a policy change as of November 1, 2005 North American residents are no longer able to play in the PokerShare cardroom.

We have closed your account. If you had a cash balance in your account we have initiated a withdrawal for you to refund these monies in full. Along with your cash balance we have converted any Tournament Entry Chips (TECs) and included them in the withdrawal of funds.

If you are owed money, you will be receiving a check in full for your entire account balance to your address on file. Balances in excess of $500 have been sent by FedEx. Smaller balances have been sent by regular mail.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Sincerely

Robert

There goes my 33% rakeback and $200 bonus that I have not cleared.

Just got this email. [censored] lame.

What a surpise that this thing blew up.

Does anybody know what's up with this?? Was some random law passed that affects this, or just a random (stupid) policy change?

[Malone Brown]

Ya...I just got this email too....all my money was in Pokershare. Now I have a $30 000 check coming in the mail and no funds to play poker with.

luckily I finished my ECD comp!

This sucks. My whole bankroll is there.

I have emailed them and asked them to transfer the balance to my Neteller account.

What do you think the chances of that actually happening are?

Why should they? You aren't their customer anymore remember? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

does this mean that its going to be harder to find games on UB? Is the pokershare skin highly populated? Or am I just going to have fewer of you 2+2ers to fight with?
