US Online Poker Players Keep on Playing

On October 13, 2006, president George W. Bush signed into law the 'Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act' barring American online players from sending funds to online gaming sites. Even though the law will take effect only in July 2007, many major poker rooms no longer accept new US real-money players, and prevent existing US-based players from depositing new funds in their accounts. Countless American online poker players were cut off instantly from their favorite game. Rage, frustration and confusion dominated the state of mind of poker fans who were suddenly kicked out by hugely popular rooms such as Party Poker, Pacific Poker, Hollywood Poker, and PokerRoom. However, at some top-notch poker rooms it's poker as usual for all poker enthusiasts, including US-based players. PokerAsUSual.com is a new Web site that serves as guide to players who look for reliable, trusted rooms that are fully open to US Players. PokerAsUSual.com is not only a gateway to the best poker as usual rooms. It also contains "Poker Ban" news, information and links, covering the online protest against the un-American poker prohibition.

Why spam? There are so many US players who want to keep

playing and don't know how/where. This site gives them the info they need.

What's this got to do with spam?
