Many online poker rooms withdrew their support of US players in the mist of the passage of the UIGEA right as the US market was booming with online poker. The US online poker market saw the fall of the largest player Party Poker and 888. While many rooms decided to stay and wait it all out like Doyle’s Room, Full Tilt Poker, Absolute poker and Ultimate bet. But as time went on the pressure to comply grew. The computer software network they operated with in Tribeca decided this really for them. Doyles Room decided it was in their best interest to not allow US poker players. They took a big blow to their incoming traffic and lost a lot of their poker player to other savvy poker rooms still willing to risk and wait it out.
After this was all said and done today almost over a year ago after they withdrew Doyle’s Room announced the reversal as will once again allow us players but with a few restrictions. Now Doyles Room has a new software provider Microgaming. Here is the catch Microgaming provides service to the all states in the US except South Dakota, Nevada, Oregon, Wisconsin, Washington State, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Illinois, New York and New Jersey. We know this blows as many read this they will say why? But each state in the US has individual laws that are more powerful then federal laws. These states have enacted specific laws in which companies like Microgamming do not want anything to do with. So here we are if you live within one of the forbidden zones you are out of luck at least for Doyle’s room. Full Tilt Poker is still the most popular US alternative site with tons of traffic and tournaments.
All Doyle’s room accounts are still intact so there is no need to sign up again. If you are new to Doyles room you can use Doyles room bonus code: TEXAS100 for an added deposit bonus 35% up to $135 bonus. We still like Doyle’s room as a poker room. You have the chance to play with a legend and this is still a good reason to give Doyle’s room a second look.
