Online poker companies PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and Absolute Poker were charged with money laundering and forfeiture. A civil case brought by the Justice Department accused the company of bank fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, and illegal gambling in operations that brought in some $3 billion from online gamblers. In court agreements (below) between the three (3) online poker companies and the U.S. Justice Department, an independent monitor will be appointed to monitor and verify that nobody is playing online poker in the U.S. for "real money." All money paid by U.S. players to PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker, and Absolute Poker will be refunded to them, and each poker web site will have specific instructions and procedures for players on how to the get their money back for U.S. transactions.
