Two More Sites Pull Out of Washington

Washington has one of the strictest online poker statutes in the nation.  It’s a class C FELONY to play online poker in Washington.  A felony!  So, a while back, FTP and PS made the prudent business decisions to suspend their sites in that state.  Recently, two more poker sites — VIP Sports and Matchbook.com — made the same decision.  Frankly, the only shocking part of this story is that sites still operated in Washington after the state’s high Court upheld the law.  If you are one of the “unlucky” people that still had money deposited in either of those sites and reside in Washington, you have no one to blame but yourself.  Though part of me does feel your pain.
