How You Can Keep Playing On-Line

When they came and got the motorcycle riders about having to wear helmets - I did not help the riders.
When they came and got the car drivers and made them wear seatbelts - I did not help the drivers.
When they came and got the smokers from places that wanted smokers - I did not help the smokers.
When they came and got the internet poker players - there was no one left to help me.

Anyone else have the feeling Congress is more concerned with poker playing than illegal aliens in this country?

As I have posted before, I know of 13 poker sites still operating for US players. Now that Netteller did the turtle, here are your transfer options for each one - in my 'best site' order. And yes, transferring became the #1 criteria at this point:

1. Poker Stars - ePassport
2. Absolute Poker - ePassport, Click2Pay
3. Ultimate Bet - ePassport, Click2Pay
4. Poker. com - Click2Pay
5. Full Tilt - ePassport, Click2Pay
6. BoDog Poker - Click2Pay
7. Bugsys Club - ePassport
8. Platimun Poker - ePassport

9. World Poker Exchange - None
10. Sportsbook Poker - None
11. Tropical Poker - None
12. Jungle Poker - None
13. Poker4Ever - None

All the sites said they can send you a check to cash out, so that is not an issue.

All poker sites say that they accept MC and Visa, but I don't know of a credit card of that type that actually works. I tried that when I first started playing on-line and my cc companies would not make the transaction, so I don't know how these poker sites think that this is an option.

On a scarier point, Netteller is putting a 'month delay' on withdraws from their accounts. When JetSet Poker closed, they said there would be a month delay before players would receive a check. That was 5 months ago.
