After 9 years in business, Planet Poker has made the difficult decision to cease real money operations. Management regrets this decision but the impact of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the U.S. leaves no reasonable alternative.
During the past several months, Planet Poker explored every reasonable option to continue real money operations. This included working with other cardrooms and ecommerce processors to find solutions to the issues existing in the industry today. Unfortunately, no viable solution surfaced.
We are pleased to announce that we have made arrangements with another cardroom to accommodate real money play for Planet Poker customers. Besides providing an exciting cardroom, you will have the opportunity for many other forms of real money online gaming and betting. As a Planet Poker customer, you may be eligible for special offers. Please sign into Planet Poker and click the "Transfer Now" button in the lobby to find out if you qualify for any special offers.

Thank you for your support during the past 9 years. Planet Poker will continue to offer "Play for fun" poker and we hope to see you at the tables often. Please don't forget to check out the Transfer Now option to get started for real money in another cardroom.
Planet Poker will continue to offer you the best "Play for fun" poker on the internet and hope to see you frequently at our tables. We hope to return to real money operations when the legal climate is clearer.
We wish you the best of luck and hope your online poker playing continues to be enjoyable.
