Reuters: Full Tilt Poker, Pokerstars and Absolute Poker charged with illegal gambling - Page 207 - Poker News

US can still play online at plenty of sites
You are a losing player tired of getting beat by Americans
After the dust clears I look forward to taking your money again

Any unregulated sites that accept US players will be targeted eventually. FBI just want to focus on the big guys at the moment.

At some point, US players can play again. The only difference is that the sites are licensed by the government --- meaning the government is now able to keep tabs on you. So any person attempting to evade taxes will certainly be in jail. I feel this is the right move to get the blinded Americans into epiphany mode, but knowing the government, they are probably not very good with sealing loopholes.

I am not from US but can't you still make transfers to other players? You don't have to lose your BR (which is even illegal, because it's essentially chip dumping), you can just transfer it to a friend.

Still, that's at least one life we can save from the government bulldozer

Roll on Monday. There must have been a reason that the authorities did what they did on a Friday. GL to all American players.

But FT/PS broke several U.S. laws, so the negotiation advantage goes to the US government.

Since hasn't been mentioned, the CEO of ChilliPoker was on QuadJacks and believes that Full Tilt will no longer be around in a few days, due to the fact that the FBI will cease all operations meaning the whole site will go down.

They may have to shut it down. Dutch Boyd came on and said he could play via a VPN. If this is true, all US based players could access their accounts and then chip dump to non-US players for withdrawal

I was playing at full tilt (im from europe) and another player said that, according to espn sports, full tilt will be closed tomorrow. I went to the espn website and I didnt find any reference to that. I think that guy was just poking some random stuff to panic or he had heard some fake rumour, but I'd like to ask if anyone has heard/read something like that. Thanks
