From this week, the US-friendly Merge Poker Network skin FeltStars is no longer accepting any action, for reasons undisclosed.

As the site advised its players, “The entire FeltStars Team would like to thank all of our loyal players for all the years you have played poker on FeltStars.

“We are saddened to announce that we will be leaving online poker and [will] no longer offer these services on our website.”

The operator, which has been around since 2008 assured players that their account balances are secure, being held by the network, which will help them transfer positive balances to other Merge skins, where they will have to open a new account and then ask Merge Gaming to move their balance across.
