FBI VS Full Tilt Poker

Rumors abound that the FBI is investigating an online poker room. Full Tilt Poker is the subject of the rumors, fueled by many customer reports of contact from law enforcement. These Full Tilt Poker customers are getting queries regarding payment processing activity, suggestive of the 2006 UIGEA. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act makes in illegal in the United States for payment processing to be done between a financial institution, like a bank or credit card company, and an online poker room or casino. Full Tilt Poker is a special case among online poker rooms because it is well known that many of the owners are pro poker players living in the US.
