Friday, April 15th, will be remembered as Black Friday for the three major online poker rooms – Poker Stars, Full-Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker. It took some time, almost 6 years, but it happened – the US government issued a warrant for the arrest of the internet poker’s “Big Three”.

The founders are indicted on charges of bank fraud, money laundering and illegal gambling. Also, the FBI has taken over their websites while issuing restraining orders against over 75 bank accounts used by the poker rooms and their payment processors.

As of Friday, both Full-Tilt and Poker Stars declared they have exit the US market and that they don’t accept US players. According to Full-Tilt’s official statement – “Full Tilt Poker has decided that it must suspend real money play in the United States until this case is resolved.” This caused many US players to start a petition calling the major brands to give them back their money. Players and their money are now stuck, with no possibility to cashout their winnings and savings.
