I got this in my email account today. I haven't used this account since it became illeagal to play poker online in Washington but still, this can't be ignored. It is more than a little bothersome to me, and I hope you too.

Subject: Notice of account closure.

Dear Tom

You may be aware of recent developments in the United States whereby
online gaming regulations are being more strictly enforced.

Although the onus is on you as a player to ensure that you abide by the
regulations of your state, DreamPoker has taken a decision
to stop accepting purchases and play from players who play in your
specific state.

We therefore request that you refrain from making further purchases or
playing further on our site.

We further request that if you have any remaining balance in your
account that you withdraw that balance at this stage.

We will leave your account unlocked until October 11 2006 in order to
facilitate any remaining balance to be withdrawn.
After that date, you will need to contact support to assist you with
the withdrawal process.

We would like to thank you for your support of our site to date and
express our regret for any inconvenience which this may have caused you.

Capitol Hill. From 9:00 AM Eastern Time, until 5:30 PM Eastern Time on
Tuesday, September 12th, we are asking all PPA members and anyone
interested in defending poker to call this toll free number, 800-289-1136
