They are no longer accepting new accounts.

Hoping traffic on bodog picks up here in the next few weeks when i try to deposit.Seams like theirs typically only about 1500 people on bodog according to the counter on their site.

Euros are maybe 10% of players pool on Cereus. And seems like no one of them, including me, havent cashout a single $ from friday. I have request pending from thursday (day before mess) and support just told me that i wont receive money till they settle legal things, "but it should be soon". I asked when is soon, and he told me he's got no idea.

i got a check from ub today, but i issued way way before this incident happens. now the question is should i deposit it? i called the number from the check, they say the check wont bounce, but is it legal for me to deposit the check?

interesting.. because VIP said that all non US payments were being processed. I apologize for calling out Euros ( for something other then goin crazy with draws). We as poker players worldwide should stick together even though on the tables we are enemies..

I guess I'm just trying to drum up support for a NON PANIC stance bc it seems that panic is what the DOJ intended. And Panic is what will slow the payments down more than anything else..imo

I made a withdrawal by check about 2 weeks ago. It arrived the saturday after Black Friday. Today I decided the best thing to do was take it to a Payday Advance store. I determined that was better than putting it in my checking account and allowing the bank to draw back on the money if the check doesn't clear.

They ran the check first and said it would be alright. Of the $200, they gave me $120 on a visa gift card, and $70 in cash (5% to them).

For those of you trying to gauge how frozen UB's funds are, or even what to do if you receive a check, allow this minimal information to help.

Thanks, bud.

Guys, please share any information you have on the cashout issues with cereus.

(UK here)
$2.5k withdrawal via neteller still 'pending' since 15th... From my experience it takes <48 hours to go in to my account.
Anyone got any way of talking to live chat for AP? I can't seem to get into the client to open it('cannot connect to server'-i have a mac) and i cant find it anywhere on the new site. the .eu one

if u click on the cashier button.. on the cashier window, there should be a tab (top right) for Live Chat.

I also thought so, but apparently it's not true. Or they have some special definition of "processing". There is no evidence, at 2p2 at least, that anyone cashed out a single buck from friday.

btw, come to 9mans, they're filling painfully slow

No. Today I was informed by chat of UB's costumer assistance that all payments are stopped. They dont have a date to restablish them. By now, you can play, but not taking your money back.

I was said that it may take "many days".

Hmm, I have a pending payout from Friday night...think I'm better off canceling it, or leaving it as is? If the problem is that their current processors lead to auto-FBI seizure of my funds, then maybe its better off waiting. Then again, they'd probably leave it as pending until they find a new method anyways :/ .

Ugh, I also have another payout that was already processed a day or two before the whole incident. Its a lot less than the 2nd one, but I'm crossing my fingers

I have 2 pending cash outs 2 days ago ab/vip support told me is going to take 12/48 hours to preceed my cash out.Today they dont know They are saying your funds are safe (I dont expect them to say anything else) but so far there isn't even one single cash out.
Stars stated players funds are safe and they are cashing out that's not the case with ub/ab

Location Canada

As a result, I would say, they are not safe at all. I really dont know what to do. OMG

ty, but i can't get AP to even open, let alone access cashier :/
Live chat can usually be found on the .com site, but i can't find it on the .eu site

Funny enough I got a nice little spam from UB this morning touting their deposit bonus. lol...

I see the new absolute poker site but where can i find the new UB site?

someone claims to have gotten paid.

I don't know if it is worth anything but I talked with someone from live chat:

*****
You are now chatting with VIP


VIP: Thank you for contacting RAI$E. My name is Bill. How may I help you?
******: HI, I just wanted to ask about the payouts for non-us players. Today morning I was told that they are all still processed and I will get the money within 48 hours (I requested it on saturday probably). Now I saw posts on some forum that people were told that all payouts are stopped
************: and there is no reasonable timeframe for us to get the money
******: Are you there?
******: Any info?
VIP: At this point the payouts are delayed due to the current issue we are having and to the huge workload
VIP: we are working on getting this done soon
******: What do you mean by soon??
******: We have been waiting for 3 days and there haven't been a single one payout I would know for EU player.
VIP: As I said we are working on it, unfortunately our Payments department is overload because of this
VIP: but we will process them as soon as possible
******: Ok but are you still processing them? Cause there are inconsistent information about it. SOme of the AP/UB representatives told some people that they were stopped and there is no single payout going on now
******: We are pretty scared about the whole situation and you are not helping cause Pokerstars/FTP at least try to process payouts
******: we are still waiting
******: 3-4 days or even more
******: Cauld you at least say how long it will take days?weaks?months?
******: or we just won't get it cause it doesn't look good now
VIP: we are specting to get this matter resolved this week actually we are waiting for a confirmation from our legal team
******: So as long as you will not get it there won't be any payouts going on. right?
******: So we are just hoping to get the money soon
VIP: They are but the process right now is slow due to all the workload we are having
******: Ok but we are not US players so it shouldn't be that difficult to send the money to e-wallet account right?? I understand the whole situation but how it is possible that people are waiting 4-5 days for the money that can be easily send almost instantly
******: How slow is that process. If I request payout on saturday how long should it take due to current situation
******: couple days, weeks, mon?th or more
******: ?
VIP: I should be processed within the next 48 business hours
VIP: but since we are having some delays it might take a few days
******: ok thanks

player 2 player transfers working for US yet?

no

I just read a blog on EsPN and a Bluff article that both said that AP/UB have decided on Monday that they will be blocking US players from real money play...Has anyone heard anything official or read this elsewhere?
