From UltimateBet via email:
Thank you for contacting us.
We first want to assure you that UltimateBet’s games are still available and that you can continue to enjoy the site as you always have. UltimateBet has offered its poker room since 2001, and is not located in the United States. UltimateBet is not going away as a result of this legislation.
Here at UltimateBet.com the management of player funds is held to the highest standard of a public company. 100% of player funds are deposited in a segregated account, at a top tier bank, the Royal Bank of Scotland in the United Kingdom. You can be assured that your funds are completely safe and secure and that you are welcome to play with or withdraw your funds at anytime as usual.
The new law does not change the legality of playing online games. The law does not impact people who play games from their computers. Instead, the law focuses on the payment processing of unlawful Internet gaming.
Our strong belief is that poker is a game of skill and therefore is not encompassed by this law. As set forth in the user agreement, we furnish a gaming environment, and participants are eligible to access this environment for their enjoyment where legal to do so. We do not undertake to assess the legality of play in any particular case as our users may access us from around the world.
We hope you continue to enjoy playing at Ultimatebet.com

in checking the reviews, it seems like Ultimate might be the best next place for me...Can you only do 3 tables? Or can you 'trick' them into 4 or 5?

If there was ever an opportunity for smaller poker rooms to grab US market share from the big boys, this is it. Smart.

I think the limit is like 8 now. I know I have 5-tabled there.

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

It seems that UB will be the place to play once all this is settled. In reading the above email am i correct to say, that even after everything is done they will continue to allow US players?? If that is correct how would a US player deposit funds into an acct. to play there and also the MOST important one, say we want to do a cashout how would that happen if all transcations to US accts are terminated and Neteller leaves the scene in this aspect??
I was thinkin to do western union deposit and cashouts by mail... which would suck cause it would literrally take a month to receive. This is what the US gov't is making us do to continue playing the game we all luv ONLINE POKER!!
P.S- does anyone have Rakeback with UB??
