It appears they only credited people who were SNE 2010 at the moment. I'm still owed a 2009 WCOOP ticket that wasn't credited.

I also received absolutely zero for 10x Battle of the Planet tickets.

Easy for the guys who have been paid out in full to complain about "whiners".

-A post on this forum to say that players will be notified when more information is available.

PokerStars is working as quickly as possible to come to a final agreement with the US Government on these topics. Cashouts were clearly the most important. Now that they are functional, these other issues can be addressed. It is not a matter of withholding information; there is simply no final answer at this time.
steve also said on the pod cast that they are negotiating with the DOJ to be able to pay us for our fpps and milestones.

Relocation question(US player) for Pokerstars Steve or anyone's speculation: If we cashout everything, does our account remain open? So if we relocate, can we then redeposit from our new residence outside the US (once PS has all the proper documents and make the address change)? Or will accounts be closed after US customers cashout?

why are you posting non-SNE questions in this topic? take ur questions that have been answered 1000 times to a general topic. the answer is yes, people have already had their accounts reopened on PS.

I haven't. I am still owed $10k for SNE plus FPPs.

Thanks for that, I thought it was legitimate. I'm not expecting special treatment or anything, just thought it was worth asking if there'd be any consideration for having put in significantly more volume than a minimum-qualified platinum VIP.

Preacher, would my question have been less of a joke if I had 95,000 VPPs? 99,998?

Gee I wonder if any special circumstances might be happening that might make it reasonable to be paid earlier than that.

I can't help but think that Stars is trying to negotiate that players be given the WSOP package instead of cash. Why else would there be a delay? I can think of a few financial and political reasons they would prefer that to giving us cash, considering we will presumably be forced to wear their logo.

Just to update, I got the cash credit for both my WCOOP tickets now. Good job by Stars!

Seems pretty unlikely they will be able to buy us in directly.

Ditto! Think I'll wait to cash out until I have the WSOP money credited as well, though.

No offense taken, I acknowledge it's a huge leak of mine. I can grind like crazy when there's a clear goal in sight, then completely slack off once the pressure is off. It's probably a problem with most grinders, but I take it to new extremes. Part of the issue is that I knew Double or Nothings were being eliminated in February. Those were by far my best game and I would've maintained SNE and probably tried for it again had DoNs remained. I was learning PLO and maybe gonna make another run at SNE or possibly just relax and play for pure profit for once, but alas the DOJ had other plans.

Do we have someone with our best interests in mind negotiating these things for us. I give Stars the benefit of the doubt that they won't screw us over, but still it'd be nice to have a SNE or someone who knows the situation better working with Stars to hammer these details out.
04-27-2011 , 03:01 PM
stars been doing the best they posssibly can... cant wait to relocate and start the elite grind again... i use to hate the grind at times but its scary to think of how much money wed make with a "real job" per year that ill never complain again... has any1 found a good deal on an apartment in Toronto area, or can lead me in the right direction in finding one?
04-27-2011 , 03:37 PM
I just got my wcoop cash too. tyty
04-27-2011 , 04:25 PM
Sorry if this has already been addressed, I haven't had time to read through the whole thread. Is there any chance we can use our unused SNE package for the 2012 PCA? Or is that totally out of the question. Now that we can't satellite into it online it would be nice if we had some way to get in without directly buying in.
04-27-2011 , 04:41 PM
I would guess they are gonna clear all US players accts. as soon as they are allowed so I doubt you would be able to do that. Even if they said you could I think you would be insane to do so. I know I wouldn't trust letting a 10k live ticket sit in there for 9 more months with the current situation of them having all kinds of indictment charges, not knowing the situation with 2012 pca, etc. You should prolly take your money out now while they give you the chance imo.

I dont think players will be wearing the online promos at the wsop in the near future, at least not americans.

I've already withdrawn my whole acct and cashed in all my fpps for bonuses before they stopped letting us. All that I'm owed now (assuming the cashout goes thru) is my 2nd SNE package. If the choice is between 10k cash or a ~16k PCA package I think I'd be willing to take my chances. Pokerstars is not shutting down to the rest of the world and I highly doubt they're planning on canceling PCA.

if they can't give us cash for our package why would they be able to give us a PCA entry? I doubt it is going to be that one option comes available yet the other doesn't.
