Thanks!
do you think stars is happy that deposits aren't working?

the extent of complaining here is ridiculous

If the sites were going to abandon the US, how come they still use the dollar and not the euro?

Re: ** Official ** PokerStars Check Problems Thread

Trying to read all the ECHECK PROBLEM threads... my summary so far is:

1. No one seems to know exactly 100% for sure what is happening
2. One link posted in this and other threads states the the US DOJ put a freeze or lock down a main processor of checks (ingoing and outgoing I guess)
3. Personally I had a check bounce and have not been able to deposit an ECHECK for over 7 days on FTP or PS
4. Both FTP and PS are affected
5. Spotty reports of people recieving new checks recently withdrawn.
6. Possilby going to recieve an update from the sites Monday June 8th, 2009 (late in the day according to one post)

Please correct me and comment where needed.

Re: ** Official ** PokerStars Check Problems Thread

I'm pretty sure this has good odds of working out: heres what it looks like on pokerstars' balance sheet and income statement:

Net income: millions per day
6/01/09: processor expense 14 million

And this is if the funds are seized and burned by hobos in a Fed deflationary scheme. Otherwise the bank probably just wires it back.

Don't worry guys; I don't expect them to go bankrupt and flee the US market just yet!

Re: ** Official ** PokerStars Check Problems Thread

all the cries of the impending doom of online poker is probably more detrimental to the games than any temporary hiccups calm down folks

It is, however, the first time the DoJ have targeted non-sportsbook online wagering.*

I think it's fairly good news that we haven't heard anything yet today.

The lack of press release really makes me lean towards "not"
