Some weird stuff huh? Looks like on October 19th the doors will be back open for players from 30 states. More details here on the blog.
Good timing with the AP drama as well...

Wow thats awesome news. Doyle's converted well for me as far as U.S. players were concerned before they went donk down a few months back. Thanks for the update.

It's great news for affiliates. Always nice to have a well branded US friendly room for our portals!

What a great way to get rid of players attached to affiliates, and then bring them all back on you own terms...

Was just wondering about that.. all old players are lost correct?

Does anyone actually have an official confirmation about this? I'm off to contact my AM now.

If this is true it's great news and I would really hope that affiliates would retain their existing players. I don't see anything in that post indicating that we wouldn't. It says that players transferred to Full Tilt would be able to access their old accounts. How does that mean we would lose them?

I have some great rankings with them that have essentially been worthless for months now. I lost 5 figures monthly when they pulled out of the US market and, if true, it would be time to break out the champagne for me.

Thats pretty interesting. Maybe that crazy guy who put Doyle on the spot about getting back in the US after Doyle's speech wasn't so crazy after all.

yep, it's real. I just got the email from Doyles Room, the same one posted on the blog - Doyles Room is back!

This is brilliant news! I just spoke with the affiliate department on the phone who confirmed that all US players would continue to be tracked to affiliates and will receive an e-mail with a link to download the Microgaming software. For now, the US deposit options will be ePassporte (I was surprised at this as they are with Microgaming) and Western Union.

As far as I know, this is the first poker room to actually reenter the US market since the UIGEA was passed. This is even more significant for those of us that used to really do well on all those Doyle's Room US MGR players. Good good news.

Champagne time!
