Pokerroom says goodbye to US Cowboys

Pokerroom Mac Poker Client

Too late for me…cashed out awhile ago…But for anyone who still has a few dollars left at Pokerroom, they are running $1 and $2 STTs. And for all you Europeans, here’s your chance to take some fast cash from desperate Yanks dropping cash on the way out the door.

Here’s the official new from pokerroom:

Farewell all you Buckaroos,
take a last ride on your cayuse.
Now it’s time for you to cinch-up,
so don’t you dare bush-up!

But the sun hasn’t set yet, so keep on fighting ’til the cows come home!

This last Sit&Go tournament is our homage to all you cowboys out west.
We’re sure gonna miss you!

Every day, around the clock.
Six Players. • Winner-takes-all.
$1+0 and $2+0 US Goodbye Sit&Go tournaments.
No rake! • And it’s Turbo!

I guess this is a last Hurrah before we end up full time at Full Tilt

UIGEA

The UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act passed on Friday, October 13th prohibits US financial institutions from making transactions with “unlawful gambling” sites. Despite the fact that the definition of “unlawful gambling” does not include poker, many well established online poker rooms have all jumped ship and are no longer taking US poker players. If you are from Canada, Europe or anywhere but the US these sites are still open to you.

The current holdouts for Mac Poker Players are Full Tilt Poker, Bugsy’s Club and Games Grid

If you are a player outside the US, you have much greater options – see our Non-US sites under Poker Rooms – otherwise put your cash in one of these sites and feed on the fish fleeing the others.
