So, take that with a grain of salt but it has been kinda accurate over the years. You got poker services sponsoring everything they can put their name on in the US, something was bound to happen. The .com seizures, just sending a message... reality is very few people have been popped, but I would say there are quite a few avoiding the US now a days. But be assured if you are involved with any service that uses creative collection methods your gonna find a sh1t load of trouble. Fastest thing the Feds will jump on... and as a by the way, if any service does have a problem the chances of almost all the money vanishing is about 99%, talking sportbooks that take US players.....
