Default US DOJ takes poker domains

Not sure what to say, I've been playing poker since 2003. It's amazing they can just take their domains in such a manner.

Re-read the Article!
The government didn't seize the domains.
They indicted the Companies running the sites for a MAJOR Fraud and Illegal gambling Bust.

They might be smarter than that. If you have an account and cookies it seems to still be redirecting you to another domain extension using the software you download to play.

Recommend all pull their money out now but if they have any in there
