PokerStars begins returning funds to former US players

Following last week's agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, online poker site PokerStars has made arrangements with a US bank and today began the process of returning player funds to former customers in the US. The funds to cover these withdrawal requests are readily available.

All player deposits for players outside the U.S. are also completely safe and secure. Poker Stars has always held all such funds in accounts that are segregated from company assets, in compliance with the strict licensing laws of the Isle of Man.

The company continues to operate outside the U.S. under the Pokerstars.com domain name and retains its position as the world's number one poker site.
