"No third-party registrations will be accepted from online gaming sites conducting business with U.S. residents."

So, Stars isn't conducting business with US residents anymore, so why not?

What do u guys think the chances are that stars still honors the WSOP main event as second SNE tournament package for American players?

With so many players still playing on stars i can't see them not giving us our fpps or packages. Would obviously make people still playing on PS think it could happen to them

Well, the only reason they aren't now is because they got indicted. I think the wsop doesn't take registrations from sites they believe are breaking the law.

And yet, we have our WCOOP money, but not our WSOP money...why? I can't think of another reason.

Are there any SNE pursuiters playing mostly PLO or CAP PLO? If so, names?

The reason is because the official package hasn't been announced yet, so we don't actually know what we are getting. This will happen probably when the satellites start. Most likely it will be the same as last year, but obv I don't work for stars so I don't know for sure.

And btw, I'm not saying 100% stars can't buy us in. I don't know what the WSOP's policy will be towards indicted sites. I just think it's unlikely they will be able to buy us in directly. Especially USA players, since that would be a direct violation of the UIGEA in the WSOP's eyes.

i really would like to get an uptade about vpps etc it motivates small grinders as well. the US-guys are gone, and pokerstars doesnt seem to care that much about the rest (eu, ca, aus, etc). at least thats the feeling i get somehow...

Yeah there are probably 10-20 people per year who hit SNE via PLO. That was pre Black Friday, the numbers are prolly lower now.

Also, there is no more CAP PLO on Stars.

They have a lot going on. Give them some time. The workload with The legal issues and everything else must be overwhelming.
They will get to to your issues in due course.
This is just my opinion tho. Hope I am not proved wrong.

Also, I just saw that show the voice for a few minutes... Isn't the chick Cristina Agullera? I used to think she was kind of trashy hot, she looks weird with saggy boobs.. Come on now.

vipclub@pokerstars.eu reaches the VIP Team. You can send a PM here at 2+2 as well once you've made 10 or so posts, but I'm a bit behind on both emails and PMs at the moment.

Steve,
Appreciate your posts here and elsewhere, I know you were able to basically break the news of cashouts being imminent on the podcast a week or so ago, any news you can give us on the FPP front? Even if it is just the same would be nice to hear the status reiterated/updated.
Thanks
