US online poker market sees Poker Networks leaving

May 28, 2014

Equity Poker Network has decided to exit the gambling industry, an industry that has been legislated and regulated in only three of the US states. Full Flush Poker made a public announcement last week asserting the company's withdraw from the US markets of Delaware, Nevada and New Jersey. This exit can be considered the result from applying intimidating policies like when EPN received a cease-and-desist letter from both, New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) and the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office last month of April.

However, EPN is not the only one who is leaving the regulated US markets. The Winning Poker Network (WPN) had also announced its exit from New Jersey, Delaware and Nevada earlier this month. Full Flush Poker statement below show us all of the details for FFP's withdraw: "FullFlushPoker.com (“FFP”), flagship online poker room of the Equity Poker Network (“EPN”), announced today that effective immediately, they have withdrawn the full suite of online real-money gaming options for players residing in the regulated U.S. States of New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware. FFP operates with its players foremost in mind, and fair play for all customers is paramount. With these principles in mind, the recreational online poker site has decided to stop serving players who reside in New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware due to the availability of a regulated poker market in those states. This decision takes effect today with players in these regulated U.S. markets set to receive email notification of the change in policy, and confirmation that their account will be closed. Players with existing FFP accounts who reside in these three states will have access to them to close out their balances. FFP will work quickly to return player funds to those affected."

The company also manifested its desolation through one of its spokesperson: "We have taken this action in order to ensure that the vast majority of our customers, who do not reside in New Jersey, Nevada or Delaware, continue to have access to our site and to enjoy playing the game that they love without disruption or inconvenience. Our priority remains our players, and we are proud to provide our loyal customers from around the globe with a fun and entertaining poker environment that they can trust, and that operates with the highest values of fairness, integrity and security. Our players are our number one priority, but playing fair is also central to our ethos. We believe this decision is in the best interests of the Network and its Operators to add and adhere to this Rule, given the availability of regulated poker in these U.S. states. We take great pride in delivering our recreational poker community with reliable access to our EPN poker rooms. Our goal is to ensure that they continue to enjoy a fun and safe time at EPN’s tables with every confidence and trust."
