This week’s question is a good one. Let’s have a look:
Question: I’ve been playing on PS for about a year. Just now I went to get on a table & a dialog box comes up that says: "Due to government regulations, playing real money games in your area is not allowed". After trying to get on several different tables without success, I checked several, many tables scanning for players from the United States. There are none. Not one US Player on Pokers Stars today. Has some new regulation gone into effect today that I was unaware of?
Answer: Yes, the Feds of the USA stepped in today and shut down Pokerstars for much of the day. Now PStars is operating in non-USA mode only.

Can’t get into any tournaments now. Unbelievable!

Pokerstars, UltimateBet, and Fulltilt have been taken away from US players because apparently 11 employees "cheated" or "frauded" the website. Those companys are being seriously charged. I dont know much more details but thats the way its looking.
