The President of the United States has signed legislation that now causes PartyGaming to have to cease taking wagers from US customers. We will also suspend accepting deposits from US customers while we reevaluate our business model for the US and assess potential offerings to US customers that would be within the new law.

This will not affect the Play For Free games and we will be seeking to provide additional products and services to our US player community.

Naturally, your PartyAccount will remain accessible.

Non-US players and all Play For Free services will not be affected.

................what the hell is this all about? I just downloaded it again and logged in with my old account and this is the first message that pops up... where can i go to gamble?

One is scared of the government regulations and one isn't.

Online poker isn't illegal, but the gov't put some restrictions on how to fund your account, etc. PartyPoker.com (prematurely?) decided not to deal with it. Some of the other poker sites decided to stick with it.

Its much rougher. The tables have gotten considerably tighter. Still plugging away though. I have to play a larger volume of hands and I rely on rakeback a lot more now.
