The events of ‘Black Friday’ are still affecting the online poker world. On April 15th 2011 the US Government took action against a number of the largest online poker rooms that accepted US players. These actions included seizing the poker sites domain names. PowerPoker has not been involved in any of these events but they have just announced they are to pull out of the US market.

PowerPoker will not be allowing any US players to sign up for new accounts with them but if you are a US player and already have an account with PowerPoker then you will be able to carry on playing as normal.
