Here are the terms and conditions (from Arctic Poker - probably the same across all Tusk sites). There's really nothing in here that I see that affects us positively or negatively, with the exception of the indemnification which appears to preclude us from suing for loss of use - in other words, if our money is tied up for months we can't say that we are owed extra money because we could have been earning interest on that money, or that we were damaged financially by not having access to that money.
