OPEN FACE CHINESE POKER APP FROM TONYBET
2014-02-19
TonyBet has launched a free-to-download NFL Betting Lines Open Face Chinese Poker mobile app on the Android platform in beta.
The app includes popular game variations such as: OFCP Classic, Pineapple, Turbo, and 13-card Regular.
Shortstack tables debut on the app allowing players to buy-in with Euro 50 for Euro1 per point along with access to a range of real-money sit and go tourneys.
"I can't help to brag about how great things are going for TonyBet Poker," said Tony G, poker pro and the rooms owner. "It's only been two months and we're counting players by thousands. That's simply amazing for the site which is still in beta, is not a part of any poker network and has only Open Face Chinese poker.
"I had a dream of making an online poker revolution with this and I can already see it coming true. And the great news is it's only a start."
WHEN WILL FULL TILT POKER U.S. PLAYERS BE PAID?
2013-01-31
It's been a long wait since Black Friday for Full Tilt Poker players in the United States who found their funds blocked in the legal actions against the online poker site back on 2011.
Since then they've had to patiently wait as news unfolded of complicated criminal and civil legal proceedings, pleas and settlements which culminated in Pokerstars acquiring Full Tilt Poker and agreeing to pay out hundreds of millions in settlement, global player refunds and payments to the Department of Justice for reimbursement to US punters.
Pokerstars paid out global players months ago, but the DoJ has been trying to hire the right independent "claims administrator" to handle the US player situation...a process that seems to have taken an inordinate amount of time.
It is understood that around 1.3 million players are impacted, involving around $159 million now held by the government.
Back in November, the Department said it hoped to make an announcement early in the new year, but January is now all but gone and still there is no news.
The publication Card Player asked the Department for comment this week, only to be told that an announcement would be made "soon."
Not much to pin hopes on, but perhaps some light at the end of a long tunnel.
