Hey guys I live in U.S and I got free 50$ like a month ago
Is that going to be a problem?? I heard about new law that
blocked americans from online gambling.
I am kind a worry about it.

There shouldn't be a problem. Until now Full Tilt still accepts players from the US. Even if they will close US operations in the future, you'll have the right to withdraw your bankroll before it happens. Therefore there's no need to worry at all.

Hey Thanks for answer
but someone said that it is illegal get free 50$ from poker strategy
if you live in U.S because of new law.
I know i can withdraw money from full tilt but not sure about
get 50$ from pokerstrategy.
Thanks for answer
At the moment, we cannot transfer the money to players from the US due to the current legal situation in the US. But in the past it was possible, and you're one of those who benefited from our offers. If you got the money, it's yours and there's nothing illegal. And the platform you're playing on, Full Tilt, allows US players. 
Good luck at the tables!

So there is no problem even if i got free 50 from poker strategy
recently, such as 2weeks ago or a month ago right?
I saw one of my friend who also live in United States and got free 50
from pokerstrategy like a week ago. How did he get that if it is
illegal????
Thanks for answer , I appreciate it
Yes, there's absolutely nothing illegal here.
Good luck at the tables!

Hi lsw4168,
Usually we dont hand out starting capital to players from the U.S. due to the legal situation, and not wanting to get involved in it. In general any type of Online poker is 'illegal' for U.S. citizens (although its the Pokerrooms that are making themselves liable there), but if you have gotten the money from us or deposited yourself doesn't change anything about the situation.
Due to a change in our registration process several U.S. members were able to get the free starting capital from us, and although this is currently no longer possible you should not worry. You basically got lucky - but have nothing to fear personally.
Best regards,
SoyCD
