  • We are making ground with PPA on face book. If you have not already done so, make sure you come and join.

  • Right

  • Playing online poker is dumb you will play against hackers.

  • @codename7000> Disagree. Secure connection and solid application software allow you to play with anyone, anywhere in the world. It brings people together. This is wrong and government can't tolerate seeing people playing.

    Video : good video.

    Cenk and Ana getting carried away labeling "poker" as gambling, that's presstitute's job. It is as much a game as chess. Golf could be gambling if Cenk's playing against Tiger Wood and Ana is his caddy. Cenk going to lose both !

  • @Zeno1999 Your writing Spam aren't you?

  • this girl is a retard

  • if what they said was the "real" reason to shut down all the websites...., truly the gov't is corrupted..which means ...dont ever be so rich so that big company hates you and kick u out of business.

    (bit.ly/PriscillaPlaysPoker)

  • pokerstars still works it isnt closed :/

  • @pamirshknx SHUT THE FUCK UP U SCANK! SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THE INABILITY FOR PEOPLE TO PLAY WITHIN AMERICA

  • @Lockerzinvitesyinfo

    for cash that is..DUH... who the fuck wants to play for play money? what kind of freak queer bait...?

  • @johnmullerbach

    Lol i got my money within 20 min...is it fat or what?:D

  • Hey women leave the poker problems to the big boys and you go back to sucking cock

  • This isn't a case of big corporations controlling the govt. An Australian man was caught processing hundreds of millions and did a plea to turn in the sites and show the govt how they were processing the transactions. Its a coincidence.

  • Pokerbot 3.5 BB per hour. PN me for a b Version

  • it's not illegal, the only thing that is illegal is depositing w a credit card through a bank. Still plenty of sites to choose from. :)

    They can't arrest millions of US players even if they make it illegal.

  • Comment removed

  • this girl is actually wrong...online gambling is only illegal in Washington. she doesn't know what the hell she is talking about.

  • I knew id never hit the bad beat jackpot at absolute poker!! I been trying for years.what a waste of time and effort,i always thought id hit it oneday.i guess i was wrong :(

  • tough times beeing an american online poker player huh?

  • Usa sucks balls!

  • what is all the fuss about, get a canadian credit card, get a canadian VPN account and play poker as before LoL,

  • weird i thought casino owners should like all the online thing going on, poker popularity is (was) shooting through the roof alright

  • i keep hearing those words in the back of my head 'hide your kids hide your wife and hide your husband b/c they raping everybody out here!'

  • If anyone is wondering if you still can play, the answer is yes. Current sites im playing atm Bodog, CakePoker, BlueChipPoker and LockPoker..

  • @varsityeagle89 Why bother playing on those sites if there is even a slight possibility of those sites coming down and getting your money frozen by the long dick of the law?

  • I miss PokerStars so much :( This is such bullshit!!!!

  • @cbrstunter24 rip stars

  • @cbrstunter24 < They want you fighting their next War; so forget poker.

    Why people keep calling poker gambling; war is gambling compared to this skillful game.

  • I just stay with a website (bit.ly/GrahamMichelsGameOn247­).

    Sorry I had to post the link so strangely, its hard to post links of youtube.

    Anyways, its safe, free, and appears as if its not going to go away anytime soon!

    So if your not turned off this whole online poker thing, I suggest going there.

    Its where I always play, and it has never turned me astray.

  • hook me up with that girl! man she is so finr... mmmm.

  • Peolpe will start bombing casinos now.......Karma !

  • Remember guys. Not one Wall Street CEO has been prosecuted yet!!! Thank you DOJ for serving me justice.....

  • Fuck the FBI. Fuck the Government. And fuck Obama.

  • @Gdayguy36 even not if i was gay ;)

  • The government wouldn't destroy a perfectly run railroad... sounds a little like Atlas Shrugged.

  • Urgh, conservatives have even gotten Cenk & Ana to say "big government". That criticism makes no damn sense. The problem is government stepping on your freedom, dictating your morals, wasting money on fraudulent crap & corruption. You know, Republican ideas.

    The size of govt doesn't matter, it's the honesty, intellect & integrity of the govt that matters.

  • @MyTemporaryAccount88 Calling TYT conservatives is like calling Obama a good president. Couldn't be farther from the truth.

  • @Gdayguy36 I'd really like to know how people like you reason. In what way did I call TYT conservatives? I talked about both (sorta) in the same sentence, but I was in no way saying anything of what you got out of it. I was talking about the conservatives repeating that nonsense-expression, "big government", so much, that "even Cenk & Ana" said it. You know why that "even" is there? For a very specific reason, that much I'll tell you.

  • we're a 3rd world country and the solution is to vote democrat, right?

  • lol not trying to be racist but I've actually done really well in poker since the U.S got cut out. Very generally not as much skill in South America/central America and Europe.

  • If you have yourself under control, gambling might be fun and great. But if not, it may destroy you and your family, and the very people who put up casinos and online gambling websites might very well try to bring the art of "destroying" people that way to perfection. That, in my eyes, would be immoral. Was, is, will be in the future. However: They can´t say it is OK for U.S.-companies to rip people off that way but NOT OK for others to do that.

  • Get your fucking facts straight, people. The UIGEA was a bullshit line written into a port security bill in 2006, specifically regarding off-shore payment processing. This fiasco is not a crackdown on poker, it is a crackdown on fraudulent banking practices and money laundering. Online poker is legal in at least 48 states. Do you really think that if online poker was illegal, the FBI/DOJ would be giving me my bankroll back? Without interest, at that.  Lol @ online poker being illegal.

  • @DarianHarman US players are welcome and you can get 35% rakeback by going to wwwlockpoker35com

  • @nbluth08 Already on a new site: PPN, ever since Chuck Kidd spilled his guts on QuadJacks.

  • where u at? Dont get used to it cause theyre gonna shut it down everywhere!

  • " i think we agree.The past is over" or maybe we don't agree in that case "go back to bed america"

  • Okay not to be rude ... Online gambling is not illegal in America ..anywhere. You should do your research before you report. What the government did in 2006 was make it harder for americans to deposit money into poker accounts. Americans can play online poker alll they want with alll the money they want, They just have trouble getting money onlne.

  • @Magic612Fan go to wwwlockpoker35com .... i had my account up and running in 5 minutes using my debit card, plus i get 35% rakeback every day and a 200% sign up bonus ... i play poker every day from Indiana because i went to wwwlockpoker35com

  • and just to drive the point home. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. i do believe it says to the REPUBLIC for which it stands. im not saying America isn't a great place to live. i love it here. what i am saying is our government is corrupt. and the people of this nation need to take the power back. dismantle and rebuild is the only way.

  • @jinkiju FUCKING FINALLY I'm An Anarchist Because of our dumbass govornment the only way to save it is the way you stated!! Fuck America But Cenk For Pres maybe he could start the rebuild

  • Truer words never spoken, Turks

  • It amazes me that a group of people smart enough to put together a multi-billion dollar industry in a matter of a few years isn't smart enough to realize that they need to pay off the mafia outlet that is our govt in order to stay in business.

  • bring back stars and tilt

  • Govt - because if you want to provide business that is competitive and markets want your service, you better pay to the right people in gov't.

  • You people in America have Zer000000000000000000000000000­000 Power its 500 guys in Washington and a couple of dozens of billionaries that have 100% POWER you got NOTHIIIIIIIIIIING.

    They control u and everything around you THEY OWN YOU.

    Your like Iraq Libya Egypt your just as bad no actually worse cause you cant see it at least in those countries they KNEW the government was fucking them in the ass.

  • Toooo bad Americans your corrupted Government is fucking you in the ass again, Here in Sweden im not affected at all cause we dont have your complete meltdown of democracy.

    Land of the Free HAHAHA WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT.

    Your country is so fucked up in so many ways and its sad its so fucking sad and it wont change in at least 50 years minimum.

    Why dont u start fucking do something about it you need a revolution your are so brainwashed not even a democratic president is good these days.

  • @DRock7977 Americans have as much power as they can expect from a democratically elected govt. So they really shouldnt expect anything else since they chose the govt they have!

  • @DRock7977 i hate to admitt it man but you are right...i should move to Sweden. I hear there are some gorgeous ladies over there.

  • @zw0ecool

    Keeping it real and yes they are very beautiful.

  • @DRock7977 Yep, but were still the super power of the world. Our technology surpasses everyone's. Even China is jealous, their trying to hack into federal websites to see what were doing. Although you take two steps out of the city in China and you have run down villages and farms that are still 19th century. China's supposedly #2 super power. That's sad, the U.S. is way ahead of them if you take a deeper look. And Sweden..lol...Sweden?! haha...get outta here. Make me my watches and cheese fool.

  • @mattownsu1

    You white trash hippie, super power of the world haha.

    Your the Super joke of the world your whole country is corrupt to the core.

    Your Police beats litteraly society up, Your politicians are ALL bought.

    A 5-year old could hack into FBI,CIA and such in 5 seconds bypassing your superb technology it has been done over and over and over again.

    Piece of stupid (and i hope conservative tool) cause that would explain something at least.

  • @mattownsu1 First of all, just because you're yelling doesn't make you right. Second, WE ARE THE SUPER POWER, China is 2nd, do some research, Sweden who even cares about them...Just make me my watches and cheese Swedes! Third, I can bet a 5yr old can't hack and we're charging people in China with fraud already. Fourthly, police beat up civilians in all countries literally, doesn't only happen in the U.S. Fifthly, I'm a suburban white guy and against marijuana so I'm not a hippie or "white trash"

  • @mattownsu1 against marijuana??  lol...you may not be a "hippie" or "white trash"...........but you sure sound like a douche pipe to me......

  • @mattownsu1 Well to be fair you'll be second in less then 5 years look it up American. And thank the federal reserve for fucking up the dollar LOLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

  • I play poker online in the US and this is really crappy. But, this didn't happen "all of a sudden". The DOJ has been seizing funds which are meant for player cashouts since 2007.

  • ou want to continue playing poker online as US??

    We can get you an account at a i-poker network based poker site!!!

    You play there as US, cause you can play total "anonymous"!!

    We dont charge for that at all!!!! It is totally FREE!!!

    Try it - send a email to us: anyspeed@web.de

    We send you an explaination, how it works and if you want to try it,

    you get your account and you start "playing poker online" immediately!!!

    See you at the tables!!!

  • @Hopeful71

    actually it was meant to back up your comment. not to go against it XD just to reinforce how conservatives think, and what you say is basically what they think is evil. I dunno man. I am just at my limit with them to be honest. I wish they just came out and said they are just racist. It has mostly to do with that. unlress you are rich and conservative. know what I mean?

  • This story is missing some key concepts, and some of the information is distorted...

  • 13111

  • One word

    PROXY :)

  • I think only one little justification I could understand is that US government wants to keep the money flow internally. But please correct me, as to why this idea would be considered insignificant/unimportant.

  • Im playing online poker right now.... In the US... lol

  • I'm beginning to hate this country... I just hope a revolution occurs within the next 5-10 years, so I don't have to deal with "where is my 401k going to go and what is it gonna be worth?"

  • @asdfgoogle To revolt against a democratically elected govt is tyranny. Take ur ass back to Iran with that shit!

  • @ViciousOneWon If anything, I'll end up in Afganistan, not, Iran. lol.

    However, my point, which you so obviously missed, was that my government is absolutely ridiculous, regardless of how you look at it.

  • @asdfgoogle I understand what ur saying. I just want you to understand that this govt is "ridiculous" BECAUSE the American people have decided that they want it to be "ridiculous". If the people wanted the government to be anything else, then they would elect people to change the govt into something that is not "ridiculous".

  • @ViciousOneWon If only it were that easy. Did you know that big corporations can easily PAY OFF people, such as senators, etc, to pass a bill or whatnot that would benefit their corporations? It happens regularly. There was something in the news about it happening and it was caught in clear daylight. TYT (here on youtube) made a video on it like 3 weeks ago.

  • @asdfgoogle The only reason that its not "that easy" is because the American people are not monolithic. They all want different things. So "ridiculous" to one person is "sane" to another.

    As far as corporations paying off politicians, remember that they CANT pay off VOTERS! So if a corp pays off a politicians to do something the people dont want, then the people have an opportunity to replace the politicians in elections. If people CHOOSE NOT TO replace them, then so be it! Its a democracy!

  • @ViciousOneWon Money can buy anything. That is all.

  • But it's okay for Corporations to rob the American people blind.

  • Why isn't the outrage here over censorship and the fascist dictators even having the ability to regulate the internet??

    Net neutrality is failing, and censorship is a common occurrence in a variety of means.

    While people chase the profits, who is defending our liberties??

    Didn't the military swear to stand against enemies "both foreign and domestic"??

    WTF??

  • Well all those sites mentioned appear to still be operating in Canada. I don't know if that's a good thing or not?

  • @PirateFish1 its just like when they pulled sites that linked to TV shows (they really just seized the domains and any assets within the borders of the US that they could)

  • @PirateFish1 Yeah, obviously this video was about the Shitty US government. The sites are still running fine around the rest of the world after they made an agreement with the US government to let them have their domains back, but US players are banned from cash games. Fucking Stupid. Fuck the Government, greedy son of a bitches.

  • @PirateFish1 well it's illegal to online gamble in the US.. I don't think Canada is part of the US

  • It's about the Money Lebowski!!! why doesn't the mainstream media report when things like this are going on?

  • Ahhh, the American way. Instead of competing, lobby to make your competition ILLEGAL. Cough cough...alcohol industry to Marijuana.

  • You can tread on a snake that has no fangs fang’s all you want, Preventing privet interests influencing and controlling you’re government is one main reason’s you have the second amendment. The problem is every one knows the government is corrupt but they won’t fight back as they are dependent on the state, because every one nowadays is too lazy or stupid to take care of themselves,freedom requires independence. But its ok go back to bed America, go buy another fucking iphone.

  • @darkblood626 Um, if I had an online poker site would you give me money? lol.. Did you ever see Vegas Vacation? Do you remember the cheapo casino, where chase has to guess what number the "dealer" is thinking of.. He says 4 and the dealer says 7... Its way to easy to cheat people online and its way to easy for people to cheat online. The fact that these sites existed for so long is embarrassing. Even if everyone was honest, how do you stop kids from gambling, how bout the drunk and insane?

  • fuck america

  • I THOUGHT THIS WAS A FREE COUNTRY OH BUT WAIT YOU CANT SMOKE WEED AND YOU CANT GAMBLE ONLINE WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY TO TELL ME WHAT IS GOOD AND BAD FOR ME THUMBS UP TO THAT

  • Whats all this I heard about land of the free?

  • This kinda shows that America lives in a plutonomy, or ateast in a half plutonomy.

    I cant remember where i heard this but someone told me that American businesses can't run unless they operate as a monopoly.

    PS EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH, Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room...Not really connected, but connected in the sense that the rich can pay off the senators, and politicians. Itsss a very good documentory.

  • "Go back to bed America. You are free to do as we tell you. Here watch American Gladiators." Bill Hicks

  • I never liked any of those sites much anyway. The best place to play (for non Americans of course) is the European based Entraction network; Poker hills, Irish poker etc run max entry freerolls so you're only up against 1000 other players - not 20,000 like "Tilt" and the others...

  • Fun fact: In Sweden we have ONE casino and the goverment owns it.

  • Cyberspace is no place to gamble your hard earned money away. Where's the gaming commission that oversees the "house" and ensures a fair course of play? They can steal from you.... and they do. There aren't any online craps games that play like the real thing. How is poker or virtual slots any different? Poker Dealer jobs will be on the rise along with reviving poker rooms. I'm glad to see online gambling die. Touch the cards, dice and chips. Tip a dealer & 4 cocktails. That's gambling.

  • @LEARNTOPLAYCRAPS Spoken like a true U.S. Casino owner!

  • @ViciousOneWon I don't own a casino. I used to work for them and saw what the lifestyle does to the employees and the people addicted to playing the games for the rush. Be sure there is a gaming commission to oversee you AND them. Poker rooms make squat for the Casinos with a %5 vig for every pot won. Bullshit.....bad beat hands and progressive pots make slot machine players out of good poker players. There are better games out there like Craps. Learn what the casinos don't want you to.

  • @LEARNTOPLAYCRAPS U said, "There are better games out there like Craps." LMAO Of ur long lecture, that is the FUNNIEST MOST RIDICULOUS thing u said. LMAO

    I got my money back before the sites were confiscated. But I understad ur concern about people losing their money. But, if u do something illegal and u lose ur money, then that the price of doing something illegal.

  • @ViciousOneWon I totally agree with you. I've always said cyberspace is no place to gamble your hard earned money away and that is partially because of how the law is written. I have a unique history on this subject and feel that education is the best weapon against the casinos, the internet and anyone else looking to get your hard earned money. I'd rather see people pay down on the principal balance of their mortgage than risk it on the click of a mouse, turn of a card, or roll of the dice.

  • @ViciousOneWon I'm glad you got your money out. There are a lot of folks that didn't. A gaming commission would be behind the players on this one and they might have a leg to stand on. However, as you stated, they were doing something that was clearly illegal according to the law. So buyer beware. True of lots of things in this life. Work hard, pay off your house and don't gamble on the internet. Good luck to you.

  • @ViciousOneWon Cyber casino's own a lot of people right now. Where is your money? Did you get cashed out before you got your dough locked into a Dept of Justice fiasco? There are a lot of folks who are screwed right now. Not me.

  • @ViciousOneWon The Dept of Justice owns a lot more people than the confiscated sites right now......that's for sure. Who is gonna be responsible for giving back the money? If you read the statement that is posted currently on the confiscated sites........it would appear a lot of folks are just plain out of luck and those that fight will just wait until they don't want to fight anymore before being reimbursed for their "illegal gaming" was shut down. Time and litigation will tell............!

  • I blame Full Tilt for not buying off politicians themselves. A few hundred thousand in investment would guarantee a safe place for their rake.

  • Gimme a break it's online! Some people prefer discretion. As soon as the 2000's hit things went downhill.

  • government is run by a bunch of idiots nowadays there is nothing wrong with gambling its our damn money we should do whatever we want with it i used to gamble with candy when i was younger gamble with money in garage now but seriously online gambling is no different it just makes it easier.

  • @kroutonjr if govt is run by idiots and Americans elect the idiots that run govt, then who are the real idiots?

  • What if you're in the UK? Is it still illegal?

  • The reason it's illegal is because USA government can't get in on the action. They're acting as if gambling online is any different from real life.

  • @ModeLTU

    NO they tax the one's in real life and they COULD do the same to the one's online but that's not what it's about if it was corporations making BILLIONS wouldn't be paying ZERO taxes

    Besides the government SHOULDN'T be regulating gaming anyway if a casino wants to fuck over people fine they will go out of business but if they don't it's nothing life threatening like say health care

  • @Leadman1989 Wow, I figure u dont know the history behing anti-trust laws because ur statement that " if a casino wants to fuck over people fine they will go out of business" is absolutely ridiculous! Without govt regulation, America would be a horrible place to live!

  • @ViciousOneWon and pigs would be flying around and everything would collapse into the sea! Bow down before the state to protect us by taking our money and telling us how to run our lives!

  • @Houshalter The state is needed to keep order. I'm sure u agree. If ur conservative then we probably disagree about how much govt should be involved, but not whether or not govt should be involved at all. Because of course, govt should be involved and regulate business in America to some degree.

  • @ViciousOneWon Monopolies always provide lower quality at higher cost, and the government is by definition a monopoly. It's also inherently immoral since it is entirely based on coercion.

  • @ViciousOneWon

    I know what they are but It's been a while since civics so no I don't know their HISTORY per se but I never said there should be NO REGULATIONS what so ever and yes my choice of words was poor but what I meant was there should be MUCH LESS me gambling in the living room with some friends or at some gathering shouldn't be illegal which it is

  • @Leadman1989 A conversation about how much govt is necessary is fine. I just thought u were saying that the govt shouldnt be involved at all.

  • no. The government is protecting us cause the sites they are shutting down are scams. All those games are rigged and the criminals owning the sites are getting rich off the suckers.

  • this is blatant corruption.....

  • Country of Freedom? naaaaahhh u lie!

  • @LaBelleTML yeah its shutting down internet sites. I guess if its done for monetary gain, Its not tyranny? that doesn't even sound right when im typing it... i wonder if the FBI where "blocking" these type of sites while hilary was giving her promotion to freedom speech

  • Since when did illegal become e-legal?

    And I'm not even referring to the news item.

    It's the pronounciation that I'm talking about.

  • If I give you 1 million dollars it's perfectly legal. If I give you 1 million dollars for have a better hand then me in poker it's illegal. Wtf is wrong with this picture?

  • i want to move out of the USA. I'm only 20. How much will it cost me?

  • IRELAND? OHHH YYYAAA

  • The FBI didn't shut down these sites, they just blocked them from viewing in the USA. I can still access all of them where I'm from

  • @LaBelleTML Really? Cos I'm in Japan and I can't see them...

  • @LaBelleTML And where are you? Cus im here in the UK and i can't see them.

  • @LaBelleTML what the US did is over write the TLD registration for these sites hints if you have a slow DNS server or 1 that ignores time to live you will be able to view the site for some time but the record will slowly sync away they also removed the ability for the poker site to move there servers they have no control over there own domain name.

  • I TOTALLY MISS CENK!

    I know you are doing your good work on MSNBC but YOU ARE TYT and the army needs to see it's leader once in a while!

    Here online with the people! We miss you man!

  • We aren't third world. We have a long way to go before we can consider ourselves among those elite ranks. lol

  • Hahahha UltimateBet IS THE SAME THING as UB :P

  • CENK IS SO AWESOME!

  • Cenk your wrong we are not close to being a third world country.

  • If you can't win the game, buy the game.

    Typical American style.

  • lol USA sucks.

  • best clip ever.

    I am up for compramise in this case I can understand not alowing Gambling in states that don't have legal gambling but in every stat no no no that's not right.

  • All players' funds will be released and allowed to be withdrawn by U.S. players. It's official.

  • And some people still think this Plutocratic Oligarchy is a Democracy

  • Everything seems to be illegal in the USA.

  • @DerrenBrown100 some bastard actually wants to try to make sex before marriage illegal !!! i swear on my life if it comes to that I'm moving to japan . 平和の雌犬!

  • @DerrenBrown100 as long as you have the money its not

  • @DerrenBrown100

    The land of the FREE

    haha :(

  • FUCK THE FBI

  • @DerrenBrown100 It's truly sad and pathetic the way our freedom is slowly eroding away- just being pulled right from underneath our fucking feet! The masses have no clue, NO CLUE! As a collective, we deserve this, man. We deserve it. Harry Brown said the price of freedom is eternal diligence. We're not being diligent about our freedom. The government gets away with murder because we let them get away with murder. When the masses wake the fuck up, we'll see change.

  • @DerrenBrown100 except Freedom

  • "Now we're really a third world country......GET A LOAD OF NETFLIX!"

  • The point he brought up about buying prosecutors is scary shit.

  • Thanks for making that subscribe annotation a little box in the corner and not a box covering the entire video. I HATE YouTubers that do that shit.

  • "nobody is above the law." MY ASS NO ONE IS !!!!!1 UNLESS YOU CAN PAY FOR IT!

  • Fucking BUSH. He hooked up so many of his buddies while he was in office.

  • They had a free ride for 5 years.

    75 middlemen involved in the money laundering, I wonder how many were "friends" of the banks and credit cards?

  • @zippyman818 CLICK THE MOUSE, BET THE HOUSE!

    Oh yes, the trite cliches are just lovely!

  • Meh. This has all been known for a long time now. Shit, even Homeland Security seems to have nothing better to do than to raid and shut down small piracy related websites without warrants or due process, just because their paying masters tell them to.

  • Where's Ron Paul on this?!
