How exactly does verification work? you have to have a US cell phone to play? I am a us citizen but have been living in Mexico forever but am thinking of moving to the Tahoe area....i don't have a US simcard. How can I play on UP?

TAF is cool and everything, but im more curious about affiliate programs.... Those ppl really looking for rakeback are far more likely to get it through an affiliate deal than directly form the site. And those looking for a site with a lot of action are more likely to find it if affilliates are bringing people in.

Table resizing along with a bunch of other stuff is coming in next version(2.0) which likely will be coming August 5th or before. He said PLO will be in 2.5 version, who knows when that will be.

I think I remember reading that the NV law stated player to player transfers would not be legal. Can anyone confirm/deny this?

One issue I have with the software is that it logs you out if you havent been active even if you are registered with a tournament or sng. Just happened to me I registered for a sng and was doing some other things waiting for it to start then i notice that UP had closed, I logged back in and almost all my chips had been blinded off.

As poker players ourselves we obviously understand that some of these NV regs are not exactly player-friendly, so we do offer up our opinion to the GCB where possible. They didn't anticipate a lot of things that differentiate poker vs other gaming as well as online vs b&m, so it's a continuing process.

And never forget, you guys have a voice as well.

i am disappointed that UP added 100bb tables. the only people who wanted them are halfway decent players.

who wants to play 100 bb poker? they need to have a 5/5 HU game where you can only BI for 5$ and you just run it and re buy every hand.

why are you loving it? 100 BB tables are guaranteed to have less action than 50 bb

I'm pretty sure I heard that once you go black you never go back, but that might be on another site...

who would want to play when theres no omaha and no DON sngs? its going to be a few more months looks like.

and all the good players should hate the rake method, dealt is always the fairest way. sometimes u go hours without winning a pot. only the losing players will like this method as they win the most pots.

theres no way to beat the game over the longhaul if u arent playing like a nit. people should remember this.

It would be pretty easy to do an AHK script to zap your pw into that window, as long as youre convinced your computer is in a secure enough location that you dont mind storing it in plain text.

this is going to be true pretty much anywhere in the US where online poker (or any other sort of online gaming) becomes legal. The us gov't is just too strict with transfers like this to ever make it viable in a regulated site.

that said, when WD's come the same day and you can deposit at the cage, is there really that much of a need?
