We have been contacting various online poker rooms to get their reaction to the recent seizure of the PokerStars, Full Tilt and UB.com domains. Below are some statements that we have received so far.
Carbon Poker, PDC Poker and Aced Poker issued the following statement:
“To keep things short and to the point, – It’s business as usual around here!”
They have assured me that US based poker players funds are safe at any of these poker rooms. They have said that they are still letting US based players on real money poker tables. In addition, they have said that they are processing deposits, transfers and withdrawals for US based poker players.

Lock Poker has issued the following statement:
“Lock Poker is staying in the US market. US funds are safe at Lock. Deposits, transfers and withdrawals are all going as fast as usual.”
Cake Poker has issued the following statement:
“Cake Poker is not a party to any ongoing US legal proceedings and it’s business as usual.”
We are also waiting on statements from several other online poker rooms in regard to their policy on United States online poker players.
I have personally been playing on PDCPoker and have been able to play any real money game at their room. I have not tried to process a withdrawal since April 15th, but I will in the next several days. I will keep you updated on what is going on at PDCPoker.
We will have some additional information on this situation as soon as we receive new facts.
