Although the programme's future was highly questionable after the Black Friday events since many television networks cancelled their poker shows, it seems GSN is ready to push their show through; they teamed up with the only legal U.S. poker site, Gold Strike Poker.
If you have never heard about Gold Strike Poker, here's a quick review. This room is the only room to date that is completely UIGEA-compliant, since there is no real money play involved. Players pay a monthly site membership fee ($19.95) and they are free to play as much as they like, risk free. Therefore, U.S. players are also welcome to play here. As the company describes themselves on their website:
"GoldStrikePoker is the only Legal USA 3D Poker Site that empowers you to win big without the risk of gambling. GoldStrikePoker.com operates under the sweepstakes laws in 38 of the 50 United States. Unlike online casinos, we are not a gambling site. We will never ask you to risk your money, place a bet, or even to make a deposit - ever! GoldStrikePoker.com takes risk free online poker to a whole new level by allowing poker players to win up to a million different prizes including a brand new corvette."
It is basically a play money structure, but might have it's benefits to play there; they offer daily, weekly and monthly cash tournaments and also VIP rewards to U.S. players.
With the new sponsors High Stakes Poker is back on air on GSN every Saturday night in the United States, and in other nations at varying times. According to Gold Strike Poker's representative, Gold Strike Poker advertising will appear on tonight's telecast.
