What exactly does this message mean?

Let’s start with the most obvious question up front “Will I lose the money in my Aces Royal poker accoun?”. Although this question has been answered within the article it is important to point out that everybodies funds look to be safe. Without being privy to the finer terms of everything it looks as though everything is being temporarily frozen in an attempt to sell the company.

If Aces Royal were to be sold, it’s likely that the accounts will be transferred as part of this deal and your money will be transferred to the new service. Otherwise your funds will probably be released and the company will disassemble.

So now we’ve seen what might happen to Aces Royal it’s time to turn to more personal issues such as where is the best place to move onto during this period. Obviously there are hundreds of online poker rooms but some of us have become akin to mobile poker so we must take the search elsewhere.

The cold hard truthof the matter is that in comparison to the desktop world there are relatively few options for mobile poker players at the moment. One of the biggest poker names entering this industry right now is Cake Poker with their mobile poker offering. Their offering however is only available to people using phones based on Windows 5 and above which unfortunatley has locked even ourselves out for the moment.

I wish that there were a one stop solution I could offer you but when you truly play ahead of the curve with modern technology you can sometimes find yourself at a bit of a loss when a comapny suddenly drops or drasticly alters their servies. At least initially, here at Mobile Poker Exposed, we are moving a lot of our play back to the online tables whilst we research more possibilities and eagerly await news from Aces Royal.

Here’s How You Can Help…

Although we try to be the all-seeing eye in the mobile poker world perhaps you have come accross something that we have missed whilst on a late night session. Leave us a comment below telling us where you are moving your play whilst Aces Royal is down and you might even get a mention in our next article.

Until then, the Hunt is On…
