If you mean will the sites steal your money, that is almost a 0% chance. Even if they can no longer operate in the US, the sites will continue to provide games for the other 95% of the world and still make millions per day/week, much more than they would obtain by stealing all existing deposits and having to fear repercussions from pissed-off players.

going to be so weird with no americans on the tables. although to be fair a higher proportion of yanks tend to have some clue what they're doing since it's been such a pain getting money to play in the first place.

i'm just picturing what it'll be like a few months from now. every table full of donks from Spain, Russia, Greece, France, Italy, all calling 3bets with J4o and stacking off with 3rd pair on a 4-flush board...

I am not an expert, but I would suggest to you that the processors are in much more trouble than the sites. So cashing out of the site to a processor would be absolutely the WRONG move.

I think if I get one cent of my money out, I'll be extremely lucky. LOL @ all you guys cashing out like you think you'll actually get your money. They are indicting the payment processors. Game over man, game over.

I have become so fed up with poker and f***ing variance that I literally had the withdrawl screen up on Stars last Sunday... typed in my full bankroll, and ALMOST clicked the confirmation button.

Then I decided, "Ah, don't be an idiot and do something you'll regret", and cancelled out of the cashier screen.

I AM an idiot and I DO regret it.

So what happens to our bankroll now that we can't play?

Nobody will put his reputation on the line, because there not enough information to really decide.

I personally would play it safe and cash out about half of it.
I´d worry about the cashout going to one of the "payment processors" named in the reports, because it might be more trouble to get it than just waiting and cashing out later.

And yes i know i´m not reputable :P


edit:
If Neteller and co. are part of this US players will have to find other ways to cash out.
Maybe change bank account to canadian friend and visit them asap.
or keep playing on VPN or proxies(dunno if there´s a difference ^^)
