I requested a check on 3/30, money taken from FT account that day, received last week - bounce city. I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Quit fearmongering moron.

i guess ill just fit in and put a superficial smile on my face like the rest of you ****ing idiots.

Online poker is perfectly legal in most jurisdictions. Stars and Tilt are still numbers 1 and 2 respectively in terms of player base. Stars and Tilt are still operating insanely lucrative cash cows. They aren't going anywhere, and it's because of that fact that they absolutely must pay you Americans.

Dude I've spent so long looking for that clip if you know what show, season and episode it was on let me know!

I don't know why I even look at this thread anymore, no new info for probably another week or atleast few days sigh

I hope Pokerstars goes under. Runner Runner and 2 outs are king. It would be good to get a regulated site. DIE POKERSTARS

this

An interesting article, gives a real sense of his pathology. And of how much harm one rogue financial type can do ... This is really poker's version of Madoff and the other financial fiascos of recent months.

i am sooooo glad i don't play online poker. i busted out waaaay before this happened. now we all have the same amount of cash that we can play with in our account.

but in all seriousness, i hope everyone gets their funds back. i feel for you guys. enjoy live poker, it's a good time and you will learn so much more then you already know.

I see the clueless are still visiting this thread.

Pokerstars is regulated. Just not by the US.


FTP is likely still raking a million a day do you really think they are gonna go under?

first!

isnt that what i said?

"Pokerstars is regulated. Just not by the US."

By who?

the isle of man...

Just had a check that bounced put back in my stars account without having to send a copy of the check. Hopefully this is a good sign that they are heading in the right direction and we will be paid soon.

Sorry if this has been brought up, but something I'm curious about..
I made a $50 deposit literally 5 or 10 minutes before US players got locked out of Pokerstars, and it was finally taken out of my bank account last Friday (22nd)
Still cant withdraw, obviously, but apparently they can still take our past deposits?

just got notice this morning that a echeck i had requested the morning of black friday has been returned to my pstars account. hopefully, they are getting their house in order to maybe start cashing out U.S. accounts. <crosses fingers but
refuses to hold breath>

And how do they regulate it? What are their regulation reqirements?

Don't twist what i said........for it IS good news US players can cash out soon.

......just a bit taken back by the hypocrisy of what i thought was the turning
off of a law to meet an end. I had been told (at a B&M casino) the UIGEA forbid the transfer of funds "to and from" a gambling site. Layzie
mentioned that payouts weren't covered in the law as being forbidden, and
in going over the UIGEA briefly think he is right,.....payouts look OK as far as the way the law is written. (Unless i missed something as it's pretty confusing the way it's worded and in shear length alone with the final version)

I guess i assumed since payouts made use of either a bank wire or a check (facilitated thru a bank or processor),.....that payouts were
illegal when using the banking system.

PokerStars is regulated by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission

(http://www.gov.im/gambling/).

Isle of Man is home to many financial institutions and other prominent companies (i.e. Canonical) due to its well-established and stable regulatory infrastructure. (and it's probably the most expensive offshore location to set up business in)

And it may come as a shock to you but I trust Isle of Man government way more than the US one. And I think plenty of people around the world will share that sentiment.

My eCheck withdrawal from Poker Stars, requested on Black Friday, was rejected today and I was told the Cash Out option in the PokerStars Cashier is temporarily unavailable to allow us to prepare the technical solutions and formulate the plan and processes required to allow you to cash out your balance.
