After the notorious Black Friday scandal in April, many gambling sites are under strict watch and among those that have been indicted; only one has managed to pay back the players. Most of these gambling sites have been accused of illegal gambling, fraud and money laundering. One of the sites called Ultimate Bet does not seem to be showing any signs of paying back funds.
The negotiations between UB and the US Department of Justice did show some hope to the players but even after four months following the Black Friday scandal, no decisions have been taken. Although some players are hopeful, most participants in the online poker society and experts remain pessimistic.
On April 15, 2011, Ultimate Bet and other gambling sites like Absolute Poker, PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker were indicted, of which only PokerStars has managed to pay back their players. Full Tilt Poker is looking for financial back up to repay players and rebuild the site, but has remained unsuccessful so far. Negotiations have been taking place but no conclusive decisions have been made yet.
The funds of millions of players in the US are stuck in the pipeline due to the showdown between online gambling sites and the US Department of Justice. OnlineCasinoAdvice.com urges players to take an active role and stay updated on this scandal by following their site.
