Online poker site Doyle's Room recently announced that it was moving its business over to the Cake network. The true significance of this action is that it means that Doyle's Room will once again be welcoming players from the United States of America."

"
Doyle's Room is a well known and popular online poker site endorsed by famous poker celebrity Doyle Brunson. The site carries his name, and he maintains a blog on it in which he muses on personal insights and the state of the industry, in posts labelled Doylism of the Day. "

Last year, in the midst of the Kentucky Domains case, in which 141 Internet domain names belonging to gambling sites were seized by the state of Kentucky, Microgaming finally decided to call it quits. In an e-mail to all of its affiliates, Microgaming announced that it would be denying access to US players for the foreseeable future, describing it as a new implementation of an old rule. "
"
"
"
Many industry insiders speculated that Microgaming's decision was pragmatic, motivated by a desire to protect their business and their domain name, which was among those listed in the case. "
"
"
"
Doyle's Room was at that time a member of the Microgaming poker network, and Doyle Brunson was particularly vocal in his criticism of the move. This is understandable; a large percentage of Doyle's Room's clientele are based within the US market. "
"
"
"
Since Microgaming has not chosen to reverse its decision in spite of an appeal victory in the domains case, Doyle's Room has headed for a network that will allow them to continue serving their members. Unlike Microgaming, the Cake Poker Network only blocks Kentucky, but allows all other US states. "

"
A press release on the Doyle's Room website announced that the move was completed towards the end of last month."
