Maybe US players not getting called is a sign of instant payout.

Kinda what I was thinking based on the information we have so far.

Don't know, given the current legal climate in the US regarding poker, if a US citizen could take a share in an overseas poker company. I would assume that all US players would either not have that option, or just be paid in full immediately.

Ovb conjecture though.

There is no way they let US citizens take shares in the company. Any settlement they make with the DOJ will be contingent on full payback for US players....I have no doubt about that. I would expect that you will see US payers paid very quickly after a deal is struck...maybe even before their doors open for business. It only took 2 weeks for Stars to payout after reaching their agreement with the DOJ on repaying US players. the same would have happened for FT if the funds had been available.

Do you really think the DOJ is so shortsighted that they will nix this whole deal if we (ie US players) don't get paid in full. I hope the DOJ negotiates to get me back as much as possible but I would certainly take less than 100% if I get the chance.

That wasn't my implication....I guess they could agree for something less than full funding but I don't think that will be the case. But as anyone in the legislation forum will tell you, I am an eternal optimist.

Its very encouraging that someone is paying a call center operation to call people asking how they want to get paid. I honestly dont think i've ever used a One Time in my life, honestly. I'm just not the superstitious type. But,

One Time

Surely it's legal for US citizens to own, say, Partygaming shares?

Sorry for posting in an FTP thread and not specifically saying 'FTP' somewhere in my post.

Als het bevroren was wel ja, wat heb ik te verliezen. Het is niet zo dat hun zeggen: "wat als" het is namelijk al bevroren.

It depends,you see I have a lovely green tree in my garden,in the autumn it turns red,but having said that I prefer a sausage and egg sandwich over a smokey bacon sandwich,I still enjoy bacon sandwiches though.

I hope this helps.

Especially when the potential investors will realize that everybody friggin wants to cash out!
No worries.. I am sure the penalty will be like 95% and the payout over time will give you like 5% a year for 10 years.

Ok, finally i have received the call myself. I have some low four cyphers stuck there myself.

The operator did a wonderful job by denying my attempts to get data from him but mantaining my good mood and keeping me interested to collaborate.

I talked to him as I was completely sure that I was being contacted by GBT and asked about my Ironman Points, my Black Card, My FTPs etc... Even I gave him some ideas about how to improve the given options.

Anyways, there was not going to prove anything without recording the call so I tried the mail.

I tried to get some e-mail or phone to contact them and I was directed to the magazine e-mail.

Buenos días.

Me llamo XXXXXX y he recibido una llamada de un operador que se ha identificado como trabajador de la revista LivePoker.

(My name is XXXX and I have been phoned by an operator who identified himself as a PokerLive worker)

Quería saber si es verdad que están ustedes realizando esta encuesta. Le pedí un e-mail de contacto para realizar sugerencias y me dio el de la revista.

(I wanted to know if it's true that you are running that survey. I asked him for an contact e-mail for suggestions and he gave me the magazine's one)

Estoy preocupado por cómo obtuvieron mis datos y me tranquilizaría saber que lo que me dijeron por teléfono es verdad

(I'm worried about how they got my data and I was eased if I could know if that I was told is true)

Un saludo...




So, we already knew it ,but...

Since I was simply looking at various possibilities and certainly not sure of anything this means, how about your take on USA not getting surveyed? You obviously think you have a more correct view on this so why not share it?

Sprobably 'cause the US players won't get to choose their payment options, because that part of the deal will be at the DoJ's discretion

But for someone to put up $300 MIl and then hope for re-investment would not be a wise business move.
I think that if people know that their money is in fact a segrigated account (and i am sure the DOJ and the new licence isssurer will demand this) then they will actually trust the new owners.

ppl look best view i seen, and why i think no.3 is been trying to be imposed on us (if it is)
