The domain names of three of the largest online poker rooms
that accept U.S. players have been seized by the FBI and shut down in the U.S., several sources are reporting.
As of this morning, Friday, April 15, PokerStars.com, FullTiltPoker.com, UB.com and Absolute Poker (both part of the CEREUS network) are now off-limits to visitors from the United States.
The Department of Justice, working through the FBI, was behind the seizure. Those U.S. visitors attempting to reach these sites now, instead, are treated to a message from the FBI explaining the situation:
