Washington Blocked by Full Tilt Poker

Nov 22, 2010
The State residents no longer accepted for real money play The players located in Washington State will no longer be able to play on Full Tilt Poker for real money. This new policy will also be applied to those visiting the State, but actually, the residents can play if they are not located in Washington State while they're playing. The first one to introduce this policy was PokerStars, and it was triggered by the Washington Supreme Court support to the online gambling ban last month. In order to inform and help players, Full Tilt Poker has introduced a "Washington State FAQ" on its website, in which it advises Washington State residents participating in Full Tilt Poker real-money tournaments or those who are registered for ones in the future to deregister themselves because they will not be able to play in the tournaments. It is also added that the Washington State residents who have real-money account balances can either cash out via the Cashier or, keep their balance in case they decide to play for real money outside Washington State. The players are recommended in the section to join the Poker Players Alliance and "make their feelings known" in order to help speed up a change in the current Washington legislation in the domain of online poker.
