chances of everything being OK is definitely better than this offer. risk of scams are high, just do this(for those thinking of doing it) with ppl u know previously.

Exactly.

Not only that but most of the successful one's are tax cheats. Let's face it.

Unless you're a major corp with connections/money to run tax cheat schemes then you're ****ed.

anyone having a recently downloaded FTP setup file on their harddisk? I can't login because FTP says that it needs an update which never works...

would go for a moneybookers withdrawal. instant withdrawal stuff, and once it's there, it's 100% yours.

@rigtard saying we deserved it because we knew poker was illegal........



POKER WAS NEVER ILLEGAL TO PLAY DUMBASS. IT WAS ILLEGAL FOR BANKS TO PROCESS TRANSACTIONS AND THEY DID ANYWAY, HENCE THIS HEAPING PILE OF BULL**** BEFORE US TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!


/ventrant

Good idea.

Today, April 15, 2011 --a date which will live in infamy-- internet poker was suddenly and deliberately attacked by FBI and Department of Justice forces of the United States Federal Government.

The attack today on the American poker sites has caused severe damage to American bankrolls. I regret to tell you that very many American poker pros have been lost.

This morning US Federal forces attacked Pokerstars.
This morning US Federal forces attacked Full Tilt.
This morning US Federal forces attacked Ultimate Bet.

The United States Federal Government has therefore undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the internet poker area. The facts of today speak for themselves. The people of the 2p2 have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American poker players, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory.

With confidence in our armed legal forces, with the unbounding determination of 2p2, we will gain the inevitable triumph, so help us God.

I ask that the 2p2 declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by United States Federal forces on Friday, April 15, 2011, a state of legal war has existed between American poker players and the United States Federal Government.

Im also from outside the US, Im having problems making up my mind to withdraw my roll, I just sadly dont see any light :_(.

My withdrawal has just gone through and I live in Scotland. Not much money though. Just a couple hundred.

If you have money on FT or PKS, we are all ****ed. More or less.

let it out bro



this will help you cope

It's the American people who keep voting these corrupt politicians into office. You have two corrupt parties to choose from and you just switch back and forth.

Ron Paul supports the constitution and supports online gambling and freedom!!! Why not vote for him next time around and encourage others to do so? (If you did then great, hopefully others will read this post).

I read today too that the US (Nazi) government wants to eliminate all passwords on the internet so they can track every click you make. Both Stalin and Hitler would have multiple orgasms hearing about this kind of restrictive technology.

Blah, I'm just wasting my breath...

For people outside the U.S. for now you are safe; FBI and U.S. have no juridiction on banks outside the U.S. (for now). When you cash out or deposit, the connections are made closest to where you live, you never deal with the U.S.

The main concern is if the client shuts down without a warning, your money
might be gone forever. It's up to you.

It will affect you once FTP/PS/UB go broke because everyone is cashing out and they probably don't have that much money laying around. Once that happens, nobody else gets a cent.

I cannot stand for a country who allow criminals to live freely, bankrupting society in their wake. I cannot stand for a country who allow parties of corrupt politicians send our fathers, sons, brothers, sisters to war needlessly while they recline in their chairs in a nice air conditioned office. I cannot stand for a country who claim we are free but take our freedoms away, bury the American Dream in the name of greed, no I cannot stand for a country that no longer resembles the USA.

I always though it was illegal to send money to the sites, but to cashout is legal.

mbn. i've been sitting on pins and needles since i withdrew to mb (as a canadian) early this morning. still 'processing' in the cashier history.

RELAX? Are you crazy?

What are the implications to uk players? could we lose our entire bankrolls?

I have a bank wire cashout of 2k from PS that I requested about 20 hours ago. Should I cancel it?

Pending or in account?

So I got a free $8 step ticket on FTP for buying some junk from their store. I won a few SNG's in a row and got it up to a $600 step 6 and was planning to use that for the FTOPS ME.

So today after the sky fell I said **** it and played a $600 step. I won. Now I have a $2,000 step 7 ticket. I feel like it's play money. I wonder what happens if I won a ME seat? (the prize for winning a step 7)

buttons titles are gone on login screen and cashier.....

I dont have moneybookers. Bank transfer ftw? What about FTPs?

Glad I passed the double digit mark last week! Woohoo!

Last night I was dissappointed about going busto, but feeling rather relieved now.
I sympathize for everyone with a balance in PS/FTP though... best of luck getting it back!

*Voting Libertarian from now on!!!*

****ing liberal politics encroaching into our personal liberties RON PAUL 2012 LIBERTARIANS FTW! to hell with social politics.
