I wanna be optimistic, but lets face it, its a possibility.
i would never trust ps again or play there if the deal fails.
this deal can't fail. surely the doj wouldn't of kicked GTB out, without having a deal set with ps 1st.

and comments made last night
“We´ve had a lot of enquiries and there´s lots of speculation on the forums, so I just wanted to address the PokerStars chatter. As you know, PokerStars is in settlement discussions with the U.S. Department of Justice. As such settlement discussions are always confidential, we are unable to comment on the rumours. As soon as we have information to share publicly we will do so”.

Is No News Good News?

if its wasn't ture ps would say so and not let the poker world carry on thinking its ture.

@ zeus84

the big news today from pokerstars.fr was just the launch of the mobile app to play real money from you iphone and android phone. So nothing really exciting.
Yes its news but not what we expected to be

I'm guessing if Stars want to buy they would have to reapply for a license? Or can they use the one they have now
In many locations, a license is not required to operate. I'm sure FTP2 will become licensed once owned by PS, but I would guess by IOM where PS is licensed rather than by Alderney where FTP was licensed. And I think PS might start up FTP2 in some jurisdictions in advance of completing the IOM licensing process.

in one of these two threats i guess.

edit: the other..: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/29...l#post32808695 - dont know which one, search on it

If pokerstars isnt allowed to say anything to us - could we expect to just sit and wait for nothing then..?

I'm going to say Oct 2012ish until the new site is up. A lot of people think something is going to happen quickly. Refunds will probably be issued within 2 weeks assuming something does infact settle here.

Idk how long it would take for a company to build the software and the interwebz strukter on such short notice. Anyone have a good/educated input on this? I would think it would be connected to pokerstars current traffic and making great efforts with the new skin to get in the US would be the best idea imo.

Honestly, I have no idea right now because inbetween now and the last 3 mins I vaped about .3 of keif which was topping some Cinderella 99 and topped off with hash oil. I am going now, lastly

Because any acquisition of FTP is also part of any settlement with DOJ. It's all one big tie-up. Acquisition of FTP would be part of the settlement.

@ ac85

saw it on various french forums.

Elky tweeted yesterday that a big news was coming for pokerstars.fr

but it was nothing more that the announcement of the mobile app launch. Unfortunately no news concerning the ftp gbt ps deal.

Absolutely. I am an admin at another vBulletin forum and I can confirm it can be recovered if they so choose.

probably being merged with this thread
04-26-2012 , 10:26 AM
Only thing I can think of is it was meant to be closed and was accidently deleted?

The merging of threads takes seconds and would have already happened if that were the case. Even for a thread that large.
04-26-2012 , 10:28 AM
Can't believe there's no explanation yet.
04-26-2012 , 10:28 AM
Mistake or not, hope we get some answers. Maybe it was deleted instead of the one about
