As a US player, this is big in that we get our bankrolls back potentially and if it's at all like the last time PS's handled cashouts, we could see them sooner rather than later. But to say that regulation is coming, that's waaaaaaayyyyy to wishful thinking.

***Also, wasn't calling you annoying personally, just think you and a lot of other US players jump the gun when it comes to regulation. Even though I'll admit a small part of me hopes you're right.

I would think if your banned from stars you likely did something wrong. If your banned or suspended from ftp you probably had some money they wanted to cover seizures and phantom deposits.

Smells like more PR spin by the FTP guys to get everybody all excited about the Stars thing to mask what is really going on - FTP isn't getting sold. Stars will eventually release a statement that they are not and never were buying FTP and it's gg ftp moniez.
Yeah, getting everyone's hopes up for a day really makes a whole lot of sense. Would be fantastic PR for them definitely.

Holy **** where do you people come up with some of this stuff?

How credible is that source on a scale of 1 to 10? (1 being Scott Matusow)

It wasn't mentioned because it wasn't and issue, clearly.
EVERYTHING that GBT has said about US players was that the DOJ was going to pay back US players. Now you are making stuff up for some unknown reason.

We have no idea how much this amounts to. It could very well be 10 million. The players with high balances would have had to wait a long time to get paid.
Right, I effectively agree with the above here.

I don't know how it contradicts what I said originally though?

You don't think that's a contributing factor?

(The legalities also obv being the biggest contributer)

Stars will be awsesome going after phantom depositors!

I'll say 8.5

Was GBT ever serious. Thats a pretty good question since PS couldnt come in one day and just get this done if this is even all true.

Anybody else not actually played any poker today? I've just been sat here punishing F5.

You just don't understand I guess?

GBT pays the DOJ to then have the DOJ pay back US players 100%, clearly. Who cares who pays you back?

GBT then wants to leave some people in the ROW stuck some $ that they can get back by playing on FTP2 which the DOJ, for some reason, objects to.

I never said anything about regulation. I said there could be a new site accepting US players very soon(FTP2). I still grind online everyday with no regulation.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!...Finally someone with some brains. It won't be done if/when pokerstars confirms deal. It won't be done if/when pokerstars says we can cash out. It won't be done if/when they send us our checks. It won't be done if/when we have those checks in our hot little hands.

IT WILL ONLY BE DONE AND OVER WHEN WE DEPOSIT THOSE CHECKS INTO OUR RESPECTIVE BANK ACCOUNTS AND HAVE ACCESS TO THE ****ING MONEY.
