Harrah's compliance board decided yesterday that ZERO advertising would be allowed from any poker site accepting US players.

That means no .net, no nothing from the likes of Fulltilt, Pokerstars, etc...

Foreign sites that don't allow US players will be able to advertise as usual, and be able to register as many players as they want.

Now, we've all read about no poker sites "who've made money illegally" being able to register players. That's been the policy for several years. In the past, affidavit's were signed by third parties (usually some type of ad agency working for Pokerstars or whoever) that said none of the money was from illegal sources.

Harrah's has not made any official comment that anything from the past will change.

BUT, considering this latest move is even more restrictive than what the DOJ has imposed on the Travel Channel and others, it sures seems like Harrahs is going to make it pretty tough on Pokerstars and others.
