This unfortunately

If I didn't feel like crying I'm sure I'd be in a uproar of laughter at that pic. Any word whether merge and cake are affected by this?

The money trail...I think the Vegas corporations love this, Bally's, MGM, Wynn etc. now they will have their chance at online poker. Is it a silver lining?? Gambling stocks in Vegas are up for the day... example http://www.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:WYNN

In before Doyle's room is a 4x8 cell.

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'?

Failing police state desperate for cash much? Also, isn't PS located on the Isle of Man? So aren't they out of reach of failing police state's laws?

When can we expect a proper official statement from FTP/Stars?

plz don't crash 2+2

Omg I can't believe it

lol... I guess this is the only part to lol about.

lmao!!! thats crazy

If you can still access the cashier and get instant approval you'll get your money right away (just did that).

If there is no instant approval you'll have to wait but it's still better than not being able to cash out at all when the dns is fully propagated.

Poker sites aren't banks so comparing it to the run on the banks in the great depression isn't a good comparison.

Two of the defendant's already arrested. The others are out of the Country and the US is working with foreign agencies on getting them arrested too lol.

I hate living in this god forsaken, debt ridden, free to not be free, fat ass, dumb country. If wires hold i'm out.. Costa Rica sounds nice.. $450 to denounce citizenship sounds perfect

Withdraw $950 on FT, it will evade the IRS and make the process faster.

You can only do this 3 times a week though....

Didnt this same thing happen in 09?

There is still, in my opinion, some blame the Operators themselves. They ignored the need to act and arrogantly assumed the US Government could do nothing.

I have been on the record of saying that in order to reestablish consumer confidence AND head off the almost certainly pending US Govt action, the industry needed to band together and declare themselves an organized INDUSTRY. They needed to establish standards, guidelines, testing procedures, security protocols, privacy guidelines...

But they didn't.

Then they needed to run - not walk - to the US Govt and show them their progress and then PLEAD for regulation. I suppose it could have been the EU instead of the US Govt, but I think the only way to ensure that the US Govt didn't act in a punitive manner was to let them set the rules. In no way am I saying the the US Govt is better than others (at least not in this debate), and I do not tend to be trusting of my or any other government, I just think that On-Line Gaming was gonna need to do something desperate to stay in business.

But they didn't.

Welcome to Black Friday.

This makes me so sick. I feel so bad for people that play for a living. Hang in there guys.
