Nope. I'm one of the lucky people to have money at both FTP.com and FTP.fr. Same error message on both.

It doesn't really change much since American players have probably gotten used to waiting by now, but now Full Tilt Poker has been forbidden by their licensing body from allowing withdrawals.

It does change a lot for non-American players tho -.-

Well Deuc3s who came on here and said full tilt would be gone on the 29th was telling the truth after all. Pity he couldn't offer more evidence so people could take what he said seriously and get their money off.

More info , Media release :

http://www.gamblingcontrol.org/userf...n%20290611.pdf

Media Release
Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) has today issued Hearing Notices under Regulation 46 of its Regulations to Vantage Ltd, Oxalic Ltd, Filco Ltd and Orinic Ltd, collectively trading as FULL TILT POKER.
In addition, AGCC has issued Suspension Notices under Regulation 47 to the above named companies requiring them to suspend all operations with immediate effect.
The decision to suspend these licenses follows a special investigation prompted by the indictments unsealed by US Attorney General’s Office in the Southern District of New York on 15 April 2011, during which grounds were found to indicate that these licensees and their business associates were operating contrary to Alderney legislation. The nature of the findings necessitated the taking of immediate action in the public interest.
Andre Wilsenach, the Executive Director of the Alderney Gambling Control Commission says: ‘The decision to suspend the eGambling licence was in the public interest and, because of the seriousness and urgency of the matter, it required that immediate action be taken ahead of the regulatory hearing.’
Any further announcements on this matter can be found on the website of AGCC at www.gamblingcontrol.org
Ends
NOTES TO EDITORS
Due to the nature of the forthcoming judicial proceedings no further comment can be made at this time. The regulatory hearing will be held on Tuesday 26 July 2011 in London.
Further media requests should be directed to Jim Delbridge of LR&D: Jim@LRandD.com or call 01481 246668.
Issued by: André Wilsenach (Executive Director)
Alderney Gambling Control Commission
Alderney,
Channel Islands
Date issued: 29th June 2011

Long time reader, first time writer.

Has anyone woken up to the fact that the governments take no totice oof these sites? I know there are plenty of people out there that are happy to see this happen, but what about the people that play this game for fun? The ones that don't lose their houses and loved ones.

The governments are only doing this to get taxes, that's it. They are missing out on billions of dollars. They don't really care if there is fraud otherwise they would have done this many, many years ago. It's only because the American economy is in the crapper that they are trying to get money.

I am not in America, so I don't have the restrictions most of you have. So, if they are not going to let you play in the comfort of your own home, why not take the game to the streets?

I am sure they would listen if around 100,000 people hit the streets of Washington in one of the worlds biggest outdoor live games as a demonstration?
