Cardroom International Files Lawsuit Against Full Tilt Poker & PokerStars
Full Tilt Poker (FTP) and PokerStars are facing more legal repercussions in the form of a lawsuit filed by software company, Cardroom International. The lawsuit was filed simultaneously in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of New York, and the Santa Monica Division of the Superior Court of California. In the lawsuit, Cardroom International declares "ownership interest in, and makes a claim upon" the five bank accounts for which warrants in rem were issued in September, as well as "all other property that has been seized or will be seized in this proceeding at any...
The legal landscape is being cluttered with claims and lawsuits, many totally bogus and some with some merit.
The DOJ must be breaking out the champagne and cigars because in the stampede to lay title to the frozen millions, lawsuits arguing that poker is illegal strengthen the DOJ argument that the U.S. should be like Bolivia and ban online poker.
Sad because it leaves the U.S. behind the rest of the world in an unstoppable online industry: gaming. Amazingly enough, France not only drafted regulations & safeguards within a year to tap millions of Euros of tax revenue, but is rapidly becoming the new leader for poker.

flintswordWaite until they do a discovery on the software and find that the game itself was bogus and part of the ponzi scheme any and all who took out more than they put in will be forced to return all gains into to a fund that will be used to return players deposits!
to become part of the class action lawsuit please stay tuned as you will be able to sign up state by state....
Remember you are entitled to a return of your entire total deposits regardless of win or loss history as they game was fraudulant.

cybermarcianto flintsword.. ima a gamer, and i got offended when u generically called poker as online gaming industry, poker differs totally and completelly from any other online pc gaming.. poker should be classified in the same category as betting, since it doesnt only depends on your skills, yes it also depends on luck and lies..
