Online poker players in the United States will be able to withdraw money from accounts associated with two Internet poker companies recently indicted for bank fraud and money laundering, federal authorities said Wednesday.

The U.S. government has agreed to allow PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker, two of the three largest Internet poker companies, to resume use of domain names that had been shut down last week.

Under the "domain name use agreements" the companies will be able to reactivate pokerstars.com and fulltiltpoker.com to "facilitate the withdrawal of U.S. players' funds held in account with the companies."

The agreement also allows for players outside of the United States to resume playing for "real money" on the two Websites.
