For years it has been argued that the Wire Act should not apply to online poker, and if it does not this could lead to the re-emergence of the US market in online poker. It has been a long time since US players saw any reason to be optimistic, but this could be one. I am not getting my hopes up yet, but 2012 may be a new beginning. It would have been nice if this ruling came before the Full Tilt Poker meltdown and the possible loss of players funds on both Full Tilt and the Cereus Network. To read the full story, click here.

Cake Poker sent out an email today informing inactive players a $10 bonus has been added to their account. Normally this happens when a player has nothing in their account, but this has also happened with players that still have fund son Cake. There are playthrough requirements for the money, of course. Players must earn 25 FPPs before they are able to claim the $10, which is an incredibly low 2.5 points per $1! On top of that players are offered a reload bonus. Use the bonus code REL500 for a 100% up to $500 reload bonus. Earn the usual 16.67 points per $1 of bonus money to clear this bonus. Not a member of Cake?

We regret to inform that we are blacklisting PayNoRake Poker at this time. PayNoRake Poker is a skin on the Action Poker Network that promised 50 to 100% rakeback and numerous reload bonuses. However, they have recently ceased paying owed money to affiliates including this website. On top of this they are refusing to respond to email inquiries. If you have money on this site it is wise to take it off now, especially before news breaks and there is a run on cash outs on there. If you are looking for another high percentage rakeback site, check out Luvin Poker on the Everleaf Network. We offer 40% rakeback there and the network is quite fishy. We will update you in the future if PayNoRake makes any action to have itself removed from the blacklist.

You have until Tuesday October 18th at 6 PM GMT to deposit. The bonus requires you to earn 16.67 points per $1 of bonus money. It unlocks in $5 increments. Not a member of Cake?
