we will never get pokerstars again. they would need a licence issued by the united states which in my opinion will never happen due to the history of the issue.
Only time will tell..., I feel for you Americans...
I feel that the way that pokerstars handled everything with the DOJ, that the us will issue them a license if they persue it.
the only way thats going to happen is if pstars strikes a deal with a casino here in the states, so who knows
Because poker stars would need to have a lot of work to get a license to permit US players and I don't think that they are interested on this since the others markets give a lot of money to them too.
No, surely pstars would want to, there is no question about that.
It would be a benefit for pokerstars to get the Americans back. I for one don't really care since I didn't care for pokerstars
because u are from USA................ AHAHAHA
there is a way for US players to play on pokerstars, its not hard to do either, just change ur ip address to something in europe, that simple
Some sites will never come back to the u.s. market.
has anyone here done anything like thatQuote:

Now amazingly those sites got indicted and removed themselves from american market or closed down, And in the grand scheme of things nearly right away after states and the government are starting to rule in favour of Online poker.
Call me a conspiracy theorist if u want, but things are working out pretty much like they would have if this was really the plan. So i wouldnt bet money on the stars getting its license to enter back into to usa market, But that just my opinion.
The reason we still cannot play there and can play other places is because PS basically bought a bank to run the US transactions through and got caught....don't get me wrong it was great for us, I loved whipping out my check book and depositing if I needed to....but it broke the rules and part of their agreement with the DOJ was to not allow us to play for real money.Quote:

the Federal Wire Act - (Wiki) was not overturned, but more importanly in regards to online poker, neither was the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 - (Wiki)Quote:

The federal wire act was recently reinterpreted but it wasn't overturned. I think that's what you are talking about. Some are saying that opens the way for online poker ... a first step in the right direction. Some are saying ... don't hold your breath.Quote:
