Tony G Poker will be closing its doors
to U.S. Players. According to a post on
PokerWorks by Tony G, the hand of the
U.S. government has left them with
no other choice, but to stop allowing
U.S. players on their site.
In his post, Tony G says:
“I feel very sad for all of you good
folks in the USA but your government
is very aggressive right now and is
running loose. $55 million dollars in
Neteller money has been seized from
people that have done nothing wrong.
Who knows if and when it will be
returned to the people it belongs to.
And where will the government stop in
its quest to wipe out internet poker?”
This news release comes only a few days
after an annoucement was made that the
FBI has freezed Neteller accounts.
Tony G Poker is continuing to work
with U.S. players to get the money
out of their accounts. They have
provided the following instructions
on how to remove your money:
“*The only way possible to withdraw
your funds from Tony G. Poker at this
time is by doing the following:
1) Transfer your funds to Tony,
his player id is “Tony G”
2) Once the transfer is complete,
send an email to “support@tonygpoker.com”
detailing the amount you transferred,
your player id, and one of the three
accounts you would like your funds
transferred to: UltimateBet, FullTilt,
or PokerStars - also giving your player
ID on the site you want your funds
transferred to. Regrettably, there is
no banking option open at this time
since everything is being closed to
USA citizens and the government’s
strong arm tactics of protecting our
borders from poker has removed yet
another freedom.”
Will's note: Bravo to Tony G. Many other online rooms have simply chosen to freeze players accounts, holding their money without any stated future plans on if/when they will return it.
