When President Bush signed the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act on Friday, it marked the end of PartyPoker.com's reign at the top of the U.S. Internet poker mountain.
The law includes an attachment, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which requires U.S. financial institutions to block transactions to Internet casinos, sportsbooks and poker rooms. PartyPoker, long the dominant player on the Internet poker landscape, has officially stopped allowing U.S. players to wager real money in its online poker room in response to the law. The decision to prevent American customers from utilizing the site was made by the Board of Directors of PartyGaming, which owns and operates PartyPoker along with several other online gaming properties.
