As many of our readers are already aware our American friends are going through some tough times as their government has imposed restrictions on online gambling. In late 2006 they passed a new law knows as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). 

 

The UIGEA has claimed a new victim, Tony G Poker has no left the USA market. Tony G Poker is owned by the mouth from down under, Tony Guoga. Here is a quote from Tony G himself.

 

“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. 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?” said Tony G on his site.

 

It's rumored that Tony G was forced by the US government. Basically get out now, before something worse happens. This news came out shortly after the DOJ froze NETeller accounts.

 

Tony G has said he will be willing to transfer balances to other sites in the event that bank transactions will not be successful. He is personally guaranteeing all payments which is more than impressive.

 

European players should feel more than safe playing at this site.
