The FBI Seizes The Three Biggest U.S. Poker Websites

I'm fairly surprised by this, but not surprised at the charges considering it deals with gambling.

Surprised it was the three largest! However, whether I think gambling should be illegal is a completely different. Fun fact: Lotteries used to be illegal, as even kings thought it was a cheap way to make money out of the poor who didn't know maths.

Bit of a gamble to think you can win on them sites....

Anyway....I am not a gambler, so I don't even look at the sites. Although, I don't think it should be illegal.

I think the problem was with how the sites handled the money

Is this article some kind of joke/late april fool?

FullTiltPoker.net is a play money site, it has nothing to do with gambling! Besides that, FullTiltPoker.net and FulltiltPoker.com (the real money site) are both 100% online...

Both .net and .com are on for me, as is PokerStars, although Absolute Poker is seized.
