Because we don't have proper regulations.
If on line poker was made legal, and these sites had to be located in USA,, and controlled by government regulations, these things would not happen.
I guess that is one reason many peeps stopped playing.
Time was, I was on line playing many hours a day. Now, hardly every go on line to play.

So disappointed. Like others, I defended this site and was very pleased with their tournament selection and fishy player pool. UGH. I can't take this anymore. I remember the glory days of having a gazillion sites to choose from, to be able to bonus whore from site to site...party one week, empire the next, full tilt after that, then on to absolute. Now we have what...2 or 3 sites and WPT? So frustrating.
Not trying to hijack the thread... but anyone want to tell me why ACR is any "safer"? Other than the fact that they're still around? They're headquartered in Costa Rica. And, that doesn't instill me with confidence. Sorry.
I play on NLOP. Subscription site. Impossible to LOSE money. 100% legal in US. Will never get rich there. I also play on wsop when I'm in NV. Other than that, I don't think I'd ever send money overseas. If I DID, it would be a "major" country... Canada, UK, France, etc.

The truth is, any of these sites could shut their doors and we couldn't do anything about it. online poker is a temporary endeavor. I'm sure everyone is a little gun shy ever since Black Friday. I'll never deposit a big chunk and try to earn a living online. I learned my lesson with Black Friday.

But, I have NO fear of WSOP closing their doors. They're run by Cesar's Palace. That's a good thing with the "new normal." If I understand correctly, you MUST have B&M card room to open an online site now in the US. I have confidence in Caesar's.
Defending the site
You like many others defend corrupt sites. You are part of the problem. When players realize that sites are corrupt, bankrupt, etc., it is up to all of us to warn each other. Berating the players that warn you isn't cool. Most of the online sites available to US are corrupt. ACR and BCP aren't immune. They are in the same boat. I see them getting exposed to corruption in another year.

WOAH! Slow your roll there partner. I never berated anyone for saying FF was corrupt. I'm not part of the problem - I'm not running the site. Let's not make assumptions. By defending, I mean, I didn't see a problem and continued to play there and continued to tell others I played there.
