Yes, and citibank credit cards. The issue was settled by them not doing transactions with poker sites. This was in 1999 though.

Besides the date being important, the other issue was the places (business) resided in NY and was on the transaction side, not the poker sites.

I have no problem with them banning NY, but when people and sites claim online poker in NY is illegal, that is false. What I don't want happening is for someone to read that and assume it and base decisions off of it.
You can repeat this until the cows come home but it doesn't change the FACT that the sites and their team of attorneys that are allowing Americans but banning players from certain states do not agree with your statement. You may not agree that online poker in NY is illegal but the only thing that matters is how the individual networks and their attorneys feel.......and they obviously have reason to believe that yes, online poker is illegal in NY. I don't know what it is but i seriously doubt they threw darts at a US map when banning players from individual states.
