I think Zab should just block Jersey. There a bunch of fools anyway.
So Basically for US players there will b no more freerolls or reddems others than wal mart and non poker ones. What bout just being on the site chatting and talking poker strategy? Also funds on bcp and acr, should we b worried bout loosing those, or do you think our funds will b ok?
Funds are safe.
I for one will also stick it out and see what Zab comes up with. This site has been cool to us for a long time and now it;s time we have some patience and let the head man do his thing.
yes its a great site and zab will do whats best for it and he will do it right
so I guess all the points we have out there that we were playing to get redeemed just go into the Abyss? What is the need for someone that plays poker in the US and doesnt live in a us state like nevada or NJ to stay on this site? Dont see any benefit at all.. Time to kick this site to the curb maybe.
Only reason I come to pokerowned these days is to bullshit in chat, Zab pulling PO freerolls has no effect on me. WHO GIVES A FACK ! lol, just don't rid me of my chat box. PO lifer !
hey guys, this is actually not true. no offense to Zab, but i work for winning network, and they will not be banning anybody. What they will be doing is not allowing any new sign ups shortly.
As long as your already a player there, you will be fine. Zab you need to do more research first, or know the right people!
this is so depressing. since im in cali already, im going to drive myself to The Golden Gate Bridge and jump off the bridge.
I just find all this quite amusing how they put the hammer down on poker over and over again. And still offer sport sites, fantasy sport sites and horse racing sites who are now raking in millions no trouble at all. Maybe its just me but damn I always thought gambling was gambling regardless. Don't even get me started on state and multi state lottery's and bingo rooms for old ladies, and also I used to be a big time bowler ( I know I'm a dork ) but I used to win thousands tax free with 50/50 pots and all kinds of cash prizes that were tax free and unregulated.
We will see how this goes but I believe it should be legal in all 50 or none this state by state thing some letting you do this and some only letting you do that is for the birds. Example TVG, only legal in about 20 states. and casino's I can take 3 steps over the border into OK or LA and gamble all I want it's not regulation it's just inconvenient.
In the end sorry Zab you got to break it down and build up again that sucks.
poop
LOL right...... thin edge of the wedge Sir. YOU need to consult Lawyers before you misrepresent yourself or a network you claim to work for. Should what ZAB has said be proven true, AND you in fact DO work for a network, then you have made both yourself, and the network you claim to work for liable for any and all subsequent losses incurred by anyone heretofore.
Then again.... how serious can a "first post" made by a "new account" be taken? And why would you, if you do in fact work for a Network, not contact ZAB directly? I smell a fish.
The hardest part, is I see people in chat.. people I've known for years.. and I know it could be months or more before I start seeing you guys again..
zab they just didnt like it that you had a great site and they couldnt get in on it but i know you'll be back up to par the gov has gone to hell you need to run for president you could win
Don't worry you're going to have a new cast of idiots to fill the void. Those damn Euros and New Jersey Guidos. lol
I am terribly sorry ZAB!! I know I am not as active as the others but I see what you do here! It is a lot of hard work and you are a rock. The fact you are staying legal should show everyone what a stand up guy you are. We are all hurt about losing the freerolls here but I can guarantee no one is hurt even close to what you are feeling. The members that have always been loyal to playing here will stick around and be here when the games are back up and running. This site will never end, this is a new beginning and I see good things to come in the future.
the most annoying part about all this is that now ill never have my winnings show that ive made $600 plus :(
as long as it keeps saying i got third place once i'll be happy!
They moved my cash to my "wallet" on ACR... can't play poker i guess
Zab,
If the only reason they come in to chat is for the money then they were no friend to you and you should not sweat it. Chat is free and still fun with the personalities that are in the room most of the time. I don't think anyone would not come back to chat that is worth a damn.
Zab - fuck them all. Lets make PO the site for PO members. Run the tournies in client.
best thing to do is set up another site for swc again, and don't let the two sites (that one and PO) mix up even the slightest. may have to have a trusted friend set up the other site, cough cough Booze
oh shit
Is BetOnline gonna go down too? :o no one has mentioned betonline
I'm no lawyer but after reading the letter it sounds like they really want you to take down the links. Doesn't mean you still can't offer the freerolls and promotions. In any case, I would think you'd be okay if you just blocked people from NJ (and maybe DE and NV) from accessing this site. Obviously you probably need to discuss this with your own lawyers though.
so are my 125 poker owned points now worthless?!?!?!? =(
the sites arent going down (yet) just affiliates who promote illegal sites such as Bovada, winning network, merge to residents of legal states NJ NV can be fined, well thats how i read it. maybe bitcoin poker sites might be next up, again swc, grid poker etc. i didnt see juicy stakes, pure poker full flush lol lock named anywhere.
Overall it still sucks I was about to make the all-time money list :( and everything else is shytty
