Action by Ongame that affects Touchstone Gaming Players
Touchstone Gaming currently povides poker throught The Ongame Network, owned by bwin.
To the best of our understanding, bwin will block poker service to new players with U.S. addresses, but will allow existing players to continue using their poker network.
How this affects you today
To the best of our knowledge, customers which signed up on or before October 15th can either continue playing within their Touchtone Poker account or transfer their poker chips back to their Touchstone Gaming cashier account.
Because players that signed up on or before October 15th can still play poker in their Touchstone Poker account, we are planning to go forward with our regularly scheduled $200 Player Love Freeroll this Sunday, Oct. 22, at 8:00 PM EST, as well as our previously scheduled $100 Euro Player Love on Sunday, Oct. 22, at 5:00 PM EST / 10:00 London Time.
If you signed up with Touchstone Gaming on or before October 15th, you should have a free ticket to these events.
What we intend to do
Touchstone Gaming, however, is committed to providing its poker services to all of its existing players and to any new customers in the U.S. and around the world where legally allowed.
As a result of Ongame?s announcement, Touchstone Gaming is re-evaluating its options with the intention of finding an acceptable poker network for all our customers.
Meanwhile, Touchstone Casino is available to all US customers where legally allowed, as both we and our casino provider are privately owned companies and not publicly traded. There should be no interruption involving our Casino services.
Our apologies
We regret the inconvenience that the current situation has created. As our options are clarified and we define a workable strategy for providing the best service to our well loved players, we will share that information with you.
BeerGuy note: Guess this means they'll move servers and resurface somewhere else really soon... again.
