I can't play online and this right now is better than doing nothing

I'm in Canada and PS is blocking my cashout attempts. So sick. Worst bad beat every IMO

Hey guys,

Reddit.com is the 75th biggest website on the internet and it's a very tight knit community like this one is (forum based). The below link is on the front page, and I strongly advise everyone to sign up (it takes two seconds with no e-mail approval) and UPVOTE the story (click the up arrow next to it). Upvoting will bring it even higher on the front page and will further encourage that community to get behind our cause by sending letters to PPA and supporting us in general. DO IT! The website has over one billion page views and can greatly increase our army (also, some of the comments in there link to this 2+2 thread) - http://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/co...nd_pokerstars/

can you elaborate?

Pretty good speculation with few updates once in a while

Obv Dutch is a queer tho

Funding a gambling site is part of money laundering, no?

This thread will probably get a million views within 24 hours, that is absurd, i would be amazed if the previous record for a 24 hour span was anything more than like 100k.

haha you just got a shoutout

Crimes were committed in the United States.

Im in UK and cant cash out FTP or Stars

Stars says money bookers is down

FTP says cant establish connection with server

Well said and great avatar sir....Phil is a joker

Alas, game over.

PS did, through their software. It was up when you first log in. It basically said that our bankrolls are safe, and the business for the European clients will continue as usual.

But really....this does not make me any less worried about our funds. They would have issued the same statement if 90% of accounts of the American players were seized, simple to prevent the departure of European players who would no longer feel safe playing on such site.

In a fit of panic I already exchanged all of my FPPs (71k for $875, instead of grinding it a little bit longer for $1500 for 100k) and tried to cashout but ultimately I canceled the withdrawal and will wait till Monday for some solid and hopefully good news.

The thing that worries me the most is how silent all the pros are on Twitter and their blogs. Only Durrr seems to even be mentioning it, but, granted he is reassuring, it is hard to judge his level of competence on the subject, plus he does work for FT.

The way things seem, the DOJ is looking to burn Stars/Tilt to the ground.


Not just for US players but for everyone in the world. The DOJ is looking to arrest Isai/Bitar, criminalize them, put multiple charges on them.


Each charge carries a heavy fine along with jail time. The DOJ is asking for the arrests of these foreign citizens and have them brought to the USA for severe punishment.

it appears that US players are still playing up to $50/$100 on cereus

was waiting for this. I had this song in my head today too.

WP.

estonishing...

z32fanatic (United States) is sitting in 4 HU cash game table. I think he is the only American who is on Stars ...

Yeah probably been sitting at the tables for a few hours now, and as long as he didn't leave the tables or restart client he hasn't been kicked off. How long can he keep it up though?!?

I think that US players will get their money back sooner or later. If US players will not get their money, it is game over for PS and FTP, VERY bad fame for those sites..., its game over for UB anyhow(feel sorry if you have money there).
