^^ This is a good idea.. Tapie is already a big name in the industry, and I'm sure he has a solid plan/framework already in place. I'd be happy to put in hella hands on the new UB if it meant being able to eventually withdraw my balance

Actually if you are a UB player right now you are hoping it went down like this:


STARS: Yo DOJ, we can offer you guys more money then GBT and help you pay the players faster

DOJ: Ok but surely you have something in mind correct?

STARS: Yes, we want to be able to come back to US once its regulated.

DOJ: That's gonna cost you guys $700m in total.

STARS: No problem let's write the contract.

DOJ: Oh one more thing, we got this small problem with Ultimate Bet. We only seized $15m from them on BF and they owe their players $55m. You and I both know we are not giving that $15m back. That's how we roll. We didn't plan our attack on them very well as all of their assets are now out of reach down in Central America and in Antigua. You mind adding $50m to the pot?

STARS: Ehhhh, you guarantee we'll be able to re-enter the US market if we do all of those things?

DOJ: Sure

STARS: Deal!

You just described the ideal solution in a perfect world. Having said that...ONE TIME!!

In that perfect world the DOJ would have to care if we get paid.

sounds good but never going to happened

Wait a minute! You said that. Still ****ing hilarious. Did you hear it from someone else?

Tapie sounds like a huge scum bag. Did you read the terms he was trying to get with FTP sale?

The DOJ isn't a gambling regulatory agency. They don't have any power of US legislation or who would get a license if such legislation was passed.

But they would probably have some influence if they wanted to help a company that is shelling out millions of dollars to bail out an insolvent company that would be putting money back into the US economy.

This has to be good news for UB players. Maybe the GBT people can take UB/AP on as their (earn your money through 100% rakeback) deal. I dont know, but I feel the likelihood at this point of seeing our money went from 0% to 80%.

Im PAULALLAN on UB and have high 5 figures in my Ub account and zero in my bank actually negative 5k from credit cards... also since black friday I've had to liquidate my roth IRA with huge penalties and now no savings. I was going to propose to my gf and think about having kids, but instead I'm grinding 10 bucks an hour at a dirty dog track paying 10% rake of every pot and I feel like she doesnt even respect me anymore. Im a college grad that can't find work other than dunkin donuts. So these rumors are definitely making me more optimistic. Someone buy UB! Looks like its all gonna be legit soon

Sorry to drop my story on you all, but I feel like this nightmare is close to an end and prob getting a little too excited

thats pretty sick man- really can`t agree with you on the zero to 80 percent thing tbh- any purchase of UB is complicated by a ton of things, so I think thats why no one has touched it. Only thing worth buying is still the software, nothing else

ya sry I guess my wording was wrong. Should have been like this:

STARS: Ehhhh, you'll make sure we are on the "preferred" list to be able to re-enter the US market if it ever becomes regulated if we do all of those things?

Nothing is going to go our way. Ever. We're screwed.

Lol, so much scummier than the old Ub owners. Beggars can't be choosers.

yea i did, just figured the guaranteed 100$ was better than what we're currently going to get without him...
