DoylesRoom open to U.S. Poker Players again

Then again, we probably won’t give a rat’s ass anyway. But just two week ago, online poker site DoylesRoom announced that something was brewing and that they were working on something really special.

Finally, the poker site has formally announced that it has moved to the Cake Poker Network and as a result, American players can start playing in the highly popular online poker site again.

Doylesroom was forced to enforce the ban on American players when it was part of the MicroGaming Network. Due to strict poker legislation, Microgaming Network decided that it could no longer justify accepting new player registrations. Doylesroom, since it was part of the network, had no choice but to stop accepting American poker players since last November.

Now that Doylesroom has moved to the Cake Poker Network, U.S. players can rejoice. To add to the festivities, Doylesroom is hosting a $5,000 freeroll this Saturday at 5pm EST. On February 1 during the same time slot, the poker site will host a $100,000-guaranteed tournament for the much reduced price of $162.

Already a regular player at Doylesroom? Don’t worry because your rights are protected. Your current balance will transfer to the Cake Poker Network seamlessly. Furthermore, you will keep the ‘’loyalty points’’ you have so carefully accumulated.

The loyalty points, however, will now be known as ‘’Gold Chips.’’

Unfortunately, there will still be limitations. American players for Washington, Louisiana and Kentucky will not be accepted because of current local laws and pending court cases. Still, with the recent poker victories in the court rooms, this might all change. In the meantime, let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Unless you’re a football fan.
