You probably can't at this point in the US. Besides, your money transfer could possibly be tracked by the IRS. My advise...sit tight for now and see what develops.

Thats not to say I will actually get the money any time soon, but as of now it looks like cashouts are being approved and both sites are at least making an effort to keep cashouts available.

Re: Reuters: Full Tilt Poker, Pokerstars and Absolute Poker charged with illegal gambling
for any US players on Stars: do you still have the option to cashout?
would it be better to use echecks or wire?

Re: Reuters: Full Tilt Poker, Pokerstars and Absolute Poker charged with illegal gambling
If i were you guys who have transferred $$ to your bank account, I would close your account and start a new one just to be safe. Who knows how crazy this could get. the federal govt and IRS can come into your account and take it from you. They do it with taxes all the time to people...this will be no different if it does indeed get nasty.

Re: Reuters: Full Tilt Poker, Pokerstars and Absolute Poker charged with illegal gambling
Im from Colombia SouthAmerica and sites seem to be working ok, Im pretty scared with what they say that sites will be completely shut down in 24 hours... I guess this day will be ****ing slow.
PD: Oh! I just got grinder status on 2+2...¬¬

Re: Reuters: Full Tilt Poker, Pokerstars and Absolute Poker charged with illegal gambling
maybe Kathy Lieberts trash talk on live at the bike about Howard Lederer was prophetic:
"if he would'nt have stumbled into full tilt, he would be a busto."
lol; except, did she mean, because of full tilt, he's gonna be a busto??

OK maybe that's wishful thinking for a primarily live player like myself.
This is outrageous but not at all surprising based on events that have already taken place.
I can't say anything else because I will get banned from 2+2 if I allow the hate flowing through my veins right now to find it's way to my keyboard!!

Wow, the ONLY good thing about me playing mostly on Cereus is that its such a crappy company that it will probably just say f*** it and continue.
