Yesterday, our fearless leader (a.k.a. "The Decider") decided to sign the port security bill which did not make playing online poker illegal. It did, however, make it more difficult.

Party Poker is out of the U.S. Their site says this:

The President of the United States has signed legislation that now causes PartyGaming to have to cease taking wagers from U.S. customers. We will also suspend accepting deposits from U.S. customers and examine potential offerings to U.S. customers that would be within the new law. This will not affect the Play For Free games and your Account will remain accessible.

Non-US players and all Play for Free games will not be affected.

If, like us, you think this new law is unfair and unjust, have your say now at the Poker Players Alliance.

If you try to sit down at a real money table, PP will not let you. I also noticed they took off the counter at the bottom of the screen that brags about how many players are playing at the time. I wonder why.

Pokerstars says this law does not apply to them.
