PokerStars Statement in Internet Gambling Act

[Shark23]

Official email received today:

Dear PokerStars Player,

We received an email from you during the last two weeks inquiring about
PokerStars' position with regards to the recently enacted Internet
Gambling Act.

PokerStars has received extensive expert advice from within and outside
the U.S. which concluded that these provisions do not alter the U.S.
legal situation with respect to online poker. Furthermore it is
important to emphasize that the Act does not in any way prohibit you from
playing online poker.

Therefore, our business continues as before - open to players worldwide
including the US. You may play on our site as you did prior to the
Act.

PokerStars believes that poker is a game of skill enjoyed by millions
of players and we remain committed to providing you a safe and fun
environment in which to play. We value your loyalty to PokerStars, and look
forward to continuing to serve you with the best online poker
experience, as we have for the past five years, six billion hands, and 40
million tournaments.

PokerStars Management

[Dr. Jack]
