so ****** stupid. How about US gov't just legalizes online poker, make sure it collects taxes on winnings, and let us play at full tilt and pokerstars. Playing against only 1 state is idiotic. The volume of players is going to be lolbad

This is a pretty cool moment, the fact that online poker is officially back in the US. But it also really sucks that pokerstars is locked out. It is insane how much better the stars software and everything is. Terrible they are locked out

It's a start, it is progress. It's not perfect by any means. Regulation will take time but a big company like the UFC being behind the brand and some of the features like cashing in and out out at the casino are pretty great imo.

Software can be improved obv, but its a good start. Better yet, taxes are not passed on to players like in France where players pay a higher rake and even preflop rake! Instead ultimate poker pays Nevada state out of their revenue. Awesome

This is Awesome!! Getting my account verified and can't wait. =-D

I needed to update to Windows Service Pack 3 and update my Windows Installer (MSI) to 4.5 to install UP.
In case anyone else needs it: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...s.aspx?id=8483

Software looks good. Yay!@!!&*!

Had same problem on my desktop PC. It works on my laptop though. I have windows 7 on both with pretty much the exact same setup.

Just a heads up for people trying to download the software with Norton Antivirus, it will automatically delete the application due to its reputation (since no one has downloaded it before) you need to restore it from the quarantine area.

the FIRST thing it says when you sign up is to email them your ID. how the hell did you get past that?

A big congrats to Ultimate Poker and to Nevada. For years I expected this day to come and still believe that this company will be the future of Online Poker. Best wishes and am looking at airline tickets as I type.

I think you only need to send in an ID if their software flags you as... well, "sketchy."
