TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Poker.ca (http://www.poker.ca) reports that ten more online poker and online gambling sites have been seized by the American government pending charges of alleged illegal activities. This shutdown comes on the heels of the April 15 news that PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker had been seized by U.S. officials, in a crackdown that shocked poker fans around the world.

These latest shutdowns, while shocking to online poker fans in Canada, perhaps shouldn’t have been so surprising after the first wave of crackdowns that affected Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars. Poker.ca reports that some companies were insightful enough to see this coming and pulled out of the U.S. market shortly after April 15. Other online poker rooms, like Party Poker, were smart enough to avoid these affairs completely by gracefully exiting the U.S. market in 2006 when strict anti-online gambling laws first went into effect. This strategy allowed them to operate legally, safely, and build a solid reputation of stability and transparency in Canada and other markets.
