Doyle Brunson i store problemer på hjemmefronten

Legenden Doyle Brunsons pokersite, Doyles Room, har længe været åben for amerikanske spillere, men nu er det tilsyneladende slut. 13 stater har således valgt at lukke for forbindelsen til sitet og derfor vil spillere fra disse stater fremover få en fejlmelding hver eneste gang de forsøger at logge på Doyles Room. Det har allerede fået mange amerikanere til at trække deres penge ud mens der stadig er hul igennem til sitet.

De 13 amerikanske stater, der er ramt af internet blokaden er: Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Wisconsin, Washington and Kentucky.


Nedenstående brev er sendt ud til samtlige Doyles Rooms spillere:

Dear Player,

We have received notice from our poker software provider that as of Thursday, October 30th, they will begin blocking connections from 13 U.S. states based on IP address.

If your internet service provider is based in one of the following 13 states, you may or may not be affected by this change:

Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Wisconsin, Washington and Kentucky.

Blocked connections will receive an error message upon attempting to login to the poker client. Please read the Common Concerns below and if you believe your connection to the poker client is being blocked in error, please contact customer service immediately at support@dbpn.com so that we may assist you in logging into your account.

Common Concerns:

* 1. I am not in one of the states above will there be any difference in my connecting to the poker client?
No, your account will not be affected.
* 2. What is an IP address? An IP address is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). All users of the internet are assigned an IP address. This address can be used to roughly determine the geographic location of your ISP. The address returned from a lookup of your IP address is actually the address of your ISP rather than your physical address. This discrepancy may cause some players that are not from a blocked state to appear as though they are from a blocked state.
* 3. I am not attempting to connect from one of the 13 states above, but I am still having problems logging into the poker client. What should I do? We apologize for this inconvenience. State lookups based on your IP address are not always accurate. Please send an email to support@dbpn.com with your login name and a brief description of your problem.
* 4. I am not from one of the 13 states but I am traveling to one of them. Will I be able to connect? There is a chance that you will not be able to connect if you are travelling to one of the 13 states listed above. Please contact support@dbpn.com if you are traveling through one of the states and are having a problem logging into your account.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this causes you and urge you to contact our 24 hour support services if you have any further questions. http://www.doylesroom.com/support
