    Looks like the Government of Canada have also taken over the domain name on the 11th Feb:

    http://whois.domaintools.com/pokerbandits.ca

    This is the first instance I have seen of a gambling portal being shut down since the UIGEA came in.

    The owner of the site admitted it was a hoax too now. They claim it was done in the interest of drawing attention to UIEGA, but I think it was a cheap promotion scheme and an exercise in viral marketing.

    With so much going on its really a crime to waste everyone's time with a cheap hoax like this. Shame on you guys!

    Just remember, Bryan was the first

    At least Bryan actually had a reason - it was April Fool's day

    Maybe the DoJ can step in on this too, as their graphics were used on the website. Can we say Copyright Violation?
