First thing to do is see if all three sites have the same SKIN!!

I do not play at any of the three sites listed but that is what I would check and then e mail each site and ask the question to them.

I got an email yesterday from DoylesRoom since microgaming is going to stop taking players from the US they are working on finding a new network. Unless they find something total new I would have to guess either Merge or Cake network would be the choice.

This is just way too crazy.
Let them do whatever they want.
The way I see it they can all go jump off the top of a skyscraper.
I for one will never play at ANY site that has ever pulled out on the US
ever again. I'm sick of it.

Cheers !

The rooms do not really have control over it. Most poker rooms run on a network which provides the software. Ipoker which had CD, Titan, BetFred, CarlosPoker and others was one netwotk that pulled out of the US fast. The Bossmedia, Enteraction,  Ongame, Cyrptologic soon followed. Several of the poker rooms you had were on those networks some of the rooms left those networks and found networks that would accept US players. DoylesRoom if they do move will be on their fourth network.

Some other sites like Bodog, Fulltilt, Bugsys and PokerStars use their own software so if they close it would be thier choice then I would understand never returning to the site.

The two major networks that still allow US players are Cake and Merge. Cake first started out as one site but after the US law was passed they were able to work the software into becoming a network. Now if either ones of those leave it would not be the poker rooms fault. If Merge decided to close to US players the only two sites run by the network Carbon and PDCPoker would of had control not to close to US. The other sites like pokernordica, Wasspoker, Ironduke would have no control over it.

Ty Boss for filling me in on that.
Its just that every time I get set up & start building a bankroll,
they close out on us & I lose my money every time.
Thats the part I am sick of.
So far this year I have lost over $500 due to this.
I'll never see my money.  >:(

Cheers !

So what you are saying is that when a site pulls out on U.S.
They close your accounts and keep your money that is in your
poker account.That seems unfair they should at least send you
a check with your money that you earned from there site.
Solution to the glass is half full - half empty ......

If you are taken something out of the glass than its half empty if you are putting something in the glass than its half full..

I am in the US and when the law was passed I probably had more sites then you could imagine. All the sites that left the us market gave me time to withdraw. I was a depositor on almost every site I had which made a difference on some sites when I read the policy for withdrawing in the notices they sent out. DoylesRoom room every time they have closed and then moved had transfered all of my funds.

Now their were a few sites that did close to all players such as Jetset poker, the DGS network (Jungle poker, OK USA. Wingowspoker, G2G which is now on merge and transfered most players funds over to the new network), DGN which had several sites close but the software developer has taken back over and is now the gold chip network (Pokerworld, Miami poker, 2bet, Riverflop).

Let me assure you NO poker site or network wants to leave the US. The US market is to great to want to shut out. The ones that stay are at risk if owners of these sites get caught in the US they will surely be arrested. Some of the sites that did leave from the start were publicly traded on overseas markets the stock holders no matter how many shares they owned would also be at risk in the US so that is why several left.
