Man so sad for americans. Its a joke. What about all the guys who quit there daytime jobs years ago to play full time, how are they to support themselves and family etc. If its a permenant thing then USA players should get temporary visa's to any other country, get a bank account and then vamos back to the states and play on the euro sites, maybe a bit to far fetched, but thats what id do. Good luck

Thanks man, I already cashed one for 700 at the bank yesterday thats most likely going to bounce, is it too late for that 700?

Best bet for pro players right now is to leave the country. Sublet your place, you have two weeks until next month, and go somewhere else.

If you need to be close to friends/family, Canada is probably your best bet and where I'm going personally at the end of this month.

If you have no such restrictions, the world is your oyster...GL to all.

They should get this clown off the air.

This isn't the time to put a crackhead on to make everyone laugh; we need people like NoahSD who make sense and have a better grasp of what's going on.

I understand I might be the biggest pussy on the earth, but do you think if your a US player it would be even 'safe' to login right now? Because I re-downloaded from the UK Full Tilt website.

The biggest appreciation ever for someone who answers, thanks~

Also would anyone be interested in a fully functioning UK based FT account? I have both Stars/Tilt but have funds on Stars (which I'm not withdrawing), but FT has been lying dormant for a while. It's got a good history and I could provide ref's from lots of peeps.

That way if you could disguise your IP address your laughing (?), of course it would necessitate me effectively being your payment b*tch, i.e. you send me money bank to bank, I deposit and then you wanna withdraw, I press the buttons and send you back bank to bank.

Cos of the on going relationship that would be needed, I'd need to trust you also as my real life details including visa etc are easily accessable, the price would need to be good.

Just an idea that I thought might help someone out, someone who can't afford not to play cos it's what they do. I know that feeling and would like to help, but you don't do nowt for nowt in this life as far as I'm concerned.

Do we think it could work? How much is it worth?

gl to all and very sorry for your (poss mine if they go bust) predicament.

On further reflection I'm a little concerned about the implications of potential prosecution. I would be aiding you in the deliberate circumnavigation of the relevant laws. Effectively I would be your payment processor, could I be prosecuted as such?

If so then the price needs to be v good

Cheaper than moving though.

No idea, I'm in the garbage country in question.

It's possible that things will be hit or miss for the rest of the world on the major sites as well for a few days, but most Euro's seem to be able to play right now.

They're not going after the players, do whatever you want.

We have suspended deposits, withdrawals and transfers because of recent legal actions taken by the US. We apologize for the inconvenience this causes you. We will provide an update as soon as possible
