Where did you read this news at?
If they close down lock wouldn't they have to close down all of merge? Which with Poker Maximus just wrapping up there is a ton of money on that site right now. I see a huge influx of players there as of late.
I thought USA Players could play Real Money poker anywhere a site accepts them.
The issue/problem/illegality is "only" in the withdrawal/deposit at the site via banking/financial institutions.
Am I wrong? Clarify.
