Is there any news on this?
look for pokerstars to rise from the ashes in 2015. there is a reason they helped the DOJ refund everyones FTP accounts. they'll get the fast track and be able to dominate the US market.

Used to play here on the reg. I know there's been example's of employee's cheating, but I never understood why the government wants this illegal. If I remember correctly, Bush back doored a law, making it illegal. I've just started playing again within the past year, and I've been hooked. I would love to get into some pay games again. There's really no way to recreate a real game unless money is involved.

They helped the DOJ by buying out FTP's debt but nobody has been payed yet. They set up a website for claims last year and that's as far as its gone. I have accepted that the money in my account is gone for good.
Pokerstars coming back in the US market is highly unlikely. They have a strangle hold on the world market and I don't think they gain enough to come back assuming they are allowed. When poker gets legalized, it will be regulated and taxed by the federal government. The rake structure will be totally different than what we currently have and winnings will likely be taxed off top straight from our accounts. IMO, Pokerstars would balk at those terms. Even if they were cooperative, the US would be segregated from the rest of the world. Online poker will look very different when it comes back. There have been talks of potentially leaving the decision of legalization to the individual states. This means noone would be able to play across state lines. Also, states can opt out and not allow it at all.
Not to mention the HUGE push back from brick and mortar casinos who want online poker for themselves. Rather than playing at Pokerstars, they want us playing on Harrah's.com or some shite. Other brick and mortar casinos just want online poker shut down.
