Reuters: Full Tilt Poker, Pokerstars and Absolute Poker charged with illegal gambling - Page 24 - Poker News

has anyone who was able to make a withdrawal on FTP receive their funds larger than say, $1K after this news break, with their history of the transaction showing something other than 'processing'?

Got insta approval for my MB cashout and have received the money.

Freaking government and Obama's stupid internet oversight bull****. Seriously, this is so ****ed up. They haven't been able to tax it so of course they go after them and want 3 billion. Not going to fix the deficit problems, scum bags!

I guess it is back to playing at the casinos for me. I just feel bad for people that have a lot of money on these sites. Unreal, I am so disenchanted with US government right now. All this talk about cutting the budget when they could get revenue from online poker and legalizing marijuana.

So Payment processors are affected as well right?

I skimmed and saw small US banks and shady providers but what about the big ones like

* Click to Pay?
* MoneyBookers
* Neteller?
