Well honestly, people are only getting boned because they were stupid enough to do something so blatantly illegal about it. Meh...

Really? Because I and every other US player it seems can't join real money tables. Try to figure out that missing variable that is allowing you to. maybe something with your IP? Yes I am still playing right now lol. The only possible unique scenario here is the fact that I never close the FTP client until they force a software update. So it's been running for a week straight on my pc and I havent logged off yet. Perhaps if I reconnect suddenly I'll be banned.

yes, ofc that's it. a lot of people have confirmed this. was confused because you said you just logged in. Just never close it Lol

Never close the client and you can play as American on FTP as long as you want. Problem US govt?

Has any Canadians tried withdrawing from Pokerstars using check or Moneybookers ?

I think there's an argument that since Casino's and gambling is NOT legal in half the states of the US, that there's clearly some moral agenda.

anyone else having trouble withdrawing $$ on fulltilt? i thought their statement just said that withdrawals will continue to work as usual for now

One of the most infuriating videos I have ever watched in my life

"Expert" claims online poker is linked to alcoholism, child abuse, suicide, gambling addiction........................

Can't play on real money games on FTP. Feelsbadman.

And fuck Doyle. What a fucking shitbird thing to say right now. Many of his "live" poker buddies have % in these online sites. AND NOTHING IS MORE HILARIOUS TO SEE YOUR FRIEND'S COMPANY TAKE A MASSIVE SHIT LOLOL! Fuck you, Doyle.

After all, they weren't called "to big to fail" for no reason.

a totally different situation, this is more like chrysler getting bail outs.

haha this.
I wouldn't be surprised if the government has a plan in the works to make a US only site.. easy ways for ppl to deposit online (rake), easy ways to tell who makes how much money (and tax 50% of profits) etc.

It would be retarded to play in a pokersite that would allow USA players unless they get a gambling license, its asking for trouble after this has happened.

People chill out with your balances ffs... europeans cashing out their $400 bucks in Stars... facepalm.


Americans souldnt be that concerned about their funds, i think they should be more concerned on what they will do for a living now, im guessing the most common option will be playing live, then using proxies (could be risky), and the last common but best, moving overseas.

i put 55k on orlando the night I heard about this
