    Full Tilt Poker bans Swiss from ring game tables

    Taken straight off the Full Tilt Poker website. This must have something to do with the Swiss legal rulings re: poker as a game of luck, and their inability to tax online poker rooms.

    -----
    Why can I no longer play in real-money ring games at Full Tilt Poker?
    Due to recent legal developments, Full Tilt Poker has announced it will no longer provide real-money ring games to players located within Switzerland.
    Can I play in real-money tournaments and Sit & Gos while located in Switzerland?
    Yes. You can continue to enjoy full access to the best tournament action available online – only real-money ring games are affected by this situation.
    I am a resident of Switzerland. Can I play real-money ring games at Full Tilt Poker while located outside Switzerland?
    Yes. If you are located outside Switzerland when you play, you can play real-money ring games even if you are a resident of Switzerland.
    If I live outside of Switzerland, but am visiting, may I play real-money ring games at Full Tilt Poker?
    No. Real-money ring game play is not permitted in Switzerland, even if you are just visiting.
    May I still participate in play-money ring games at Full Tilt Poker?
    Yes. Play money games will still be available for players in Switzerland on both Full Tilt Poker.com and Full Tilt Poker.net.
