So where can an American play these days?

I feel like communist Russia over here. All my favorite poker sites are declining me because of my nationality! And now the last stronghold has been breached: they are not accepting Neteller anymore. Can anyone direct me to an american refugee camp?

Indeed it is a sad sight when the government encourages the internet to turn racist. But there will always be new sites that defy this legislation. Anyway you can try and turn to the European sites, there is a pretty good source for poker.

But I don''t think they are turning down neteller, I think that neteller are the ones who caved in! First it was the credit companies and now the FRI or whoever are bending arms of E-wallets. I don''t know why we should be running to Euro sites. Neteller is a Canadian company operating in the internet which is a GLOBAL environment. Instead of caving in to the U.S government, they have a chance of representing all the players! They have been transferring money to gambling sites for years already, since credit companies are out of the picture they could be really big if they just kept working! I don''t understand it.

Bodog still accepts American players, as does Party Poker. As far as transferring money into your account goes, you can use a service called MoneyGram, which is available at your local Wal-Mart. Basically, you need to email the online casino of your choice, get the info needed for a wire transfer, then go to Wal-Mart and send it along. The money should be in your account within the hour.

By the way, I certainly agree that the whole situation sucks. The only real solution is to vote Democrat. By the way, Dem Barney Frank is looking to fight the gambling ban. Check out his website for more info. You can read more about this at: www.daretogamble.com.
