Is this yet another casualty of the global crisis that has affected so many of us? Well it might well be for Busgys's Poker is closing it's doors for business. All existing Bugsys Poker players that have player accounts are being transferred to PokerStars.

Here is an extract of the email that has just been sent out to Bugsys Players.

"Dear BugsysClub Player,

Firstly, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your
continued support of the Bugsy's Club Poker Room. Since Bugsy's Club
was formed, our mission statement has always been that we will offer
you 'The Best Poker Games in Town' and that 'We will take care of you
Personally'. We are proud to say that these are goals we feel we have
consistently exceeded, providing you with a great place to enjoy
poker.

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control with regards to
banking facilities, it is with regret that we have to announce it is no
longer viable for the Bugsy's Club Poker Room to continue our business
operations. However, we are delighted to inform you that Bugsy's Club
have reached an agreement with the world's largest online poker site,
PokerStars.com, to allow all Bugsy's Club players to transfer your
account balance over to their site.

Through the agreement we have reached with PokerStars, your player
balances will be transferred to them. Before this happens, you will
receive an email from PokerStars in the next few days confirming the
full details of how to complete the transfer of your balance on to
their site. Please note that Monthly leagues were all paid out in full
just prior to the close down at 11am EST Tuesday 24th March. The weekly
leagues were not paid out. Regrettably, your Bugsy's Bonus Points (BBPs)
are not able to be transferred from the Bugsy's Club Poker Room.

While this transitional period occurs, you will be able to contact
PokerStars support with any questions you may have with regard to this
procedure at bugsysclub@pokerstars.com .

Please note: Prior to the close on the 24th March BugsysClub paid out
the full monthly league payouts. It did not pay the weekly leagues that
started on March 22nd. This will be reflected in your final balance that
can be transfered to PokerStars.

Once again, we would like to thank you for supporting the Bugsy's Club
Poker Room, but we are confident that PokerStars will provide you with
an exceptional level of service so you can continue to enjoy playing
poker.

PokerStars are a highly reputable poker site that is fully equipped to
meet the original mission statement set out by Bugsy's Club Poker Room.
They are trustworthy, quick to handle cashouts and offer an outstanding
level of customer support. In short, they fully deserve their
reputation as the best online poker site around. We are delighted to
have been able to make these arrangements with them as we know we are
leaving you in the best possible hands.

The management and staff of BugsysClub"
