Jungle Poker Sticking With US Players

Not all poker rooms have jumped ship when it comes to US players, despite the new law signed into being by President Bush on October 13th that targets the financial transactions between banks, online poker rooms and poker players. Publicly traded companies had little choice but to block US participation, as they are required not to knowingly break laws, but private institutions can make a judgment call on what will actually happen now that the law has been passed; one such room is Jungle Poker, which has decided to stick around and accept US-based poker players at their online poker room. In a recent press release Jungle Poker announced that it is "business as usual" and that their operations are "100% legal under International and Costa Rican law".
