UH OH !!!!! not a positive sign,, but so far we can still play

Merge Gaming issued a statement today which affects players in France and the United States, in short:

1. Players from France will no longer be able to play on any Merge Poker Network site for real money. Their only access will be to the Cashier so they can withdraw their bankroll. This applies to new and existing players.

2. Players from the following US states are now restricted from creating new real money accounts on any Merge Poker Site:

- New York
- Washington
- Maryland
- Missouri
- Louisiana

NOTE: This only applies to new players from these states – existing players are unaffected.

Also, as I am sure you’re aware rakeback will no longer be offered to new players after June 1st, 2011. They will be offering new promotions to replace rakeback, they’re currently in the final stages of planning and we will release information about the new program in the next few days.

Another bad news for US players, very sad, I feel with you

This is just stupid, soon the US will end

Whatever the government wants, the government gets. It's getting ridiculous now with all of this.

this he means that we are improving or that we have to care?

Another day another serving of bullshit sandwich,lol.I really hope Merge doesn't fold up because it seems like the only one that is ready to wave the middle finger at the USA gov is Bodog, all the others are dropping like flies

I still believe the idiots in Washington will get their collective head out of their ass and regulate.

Who knows....way it's looking, US players will be back online, but maybe not necessarily on FT or PS soon...

I think your exactly right JBrazon. Wont be long til our casinos here have us playing but i also think we will get shut out of all overseas pokersites first

Again no good news to US players, sorry for this, I keep fingers crossed that it will get better soon
