Default Ipoker/Playtech closing to US players?

OK I need some help here. I have seen this information come up in a few other sites. I have contacted titan directly and their online support denies they are clsing to US players. What can others tell me they have heard.

SITES CLOSING

One of the major poker networks will be down to US players. Ipoker/Playtech will no longer accept players from the US. The sites are listed below. I suggest to get your money out quick and move to the sites that will stick with the players. The information about the network closing the accounts was provide to me by three different reps from three different sites.

Prestige Poker, Centrebet Poker, Dafa Poker, BetFred Poker, Sports Interaction Poker, Fair Poker, Diamond Club Poker, Kiwi Casino Poker, Titan Poker, Prestige Poker, Poker770, CDPoker, Poker Ocean, NoblePoker

According to BBP Guru, Titan says it will no longer be accepting *new* users from the United States. That implies that existing accounts will be allowed to continue, at least for a while, but that's not a certainty at all.

Default Fair Poker Response

I tried to get an answer from at least one other playtech site. Here is what I heard from Fair Poker:

Gil from online support says

When asked if they are closing to US players - They are currently reviewing their policy.

When asked if this is fairpoker or all playtech sites - all

When asked when a decision will be made - nop. Sorry I would like to know it too.

When asked about time for US players to withdraw if they close to US players - there would be time

I just got this emailed to me today from Titan Poker.....

Due to the recent passing of the Unlawful Gambling Enforcement Act by the United States Senate on September 30, 2006, and its imminent enactment as federal law, we will no longer allow real money gaming activities from United States residents.

We regret to inform you that, consequently, we are closing your gaming account at Titan Poker.

Your balance is available to you. You may access your account and request the withdrawal of such balance, subject to any conditions that might apply, including bonuses received.

We appreciate your patronage, and apologize for any inconvenience caused. We hope to be able to offer to you our services again in the future.

Hey Trip,
Are you still able to login and play. This isn't looking good. I think they are shutting down everyone's account in US.

I got the same e-mail today. I was able to log in and sit at a cash table, but I didn't wager anything.

You're right, BBP Guru, it doesn't look good.
