make a phone call, and make it happen.

It's gotta be impossible for them to give a timeline at this point. It may be completely out of their control for all we know.

Live games about to get a whole lot busier (and tougher). And I just lost my net worth. Other than that, TGIF!

Don't you have more important things to worry about though? I'm kind of at a loss how you're acting so okay with being mad. What is this world coming to when someone can get so mad and act like it's standard. You might even be a little $ad.

Wow, if I were a Euro, I would be able to make a ton of money accepting player to player transfers this summer at the WSOP. I would give up some just to be able to have a way to cash out.

My account with $850 was frozen at Full Tilt Poker just now. Damn FTP.

However, I have an account at PokerView that I am able to play without any problems. Never thought the day would come I would trust another site over FTP. I guess it came.

Here's exactly what'll happen. All these companies wanna stay in business. They'll cop a plea, pay all the fines, and shutdown access to the American market. IN the meantime they'll try and get legislation passed.

The charges are serious, and for this action to have happened like this out the blue....the data has been being collected for quite some time and the government has a pretty strong case in court.

i'm hoping the cashout problems are due to sheer cashout volume and nothing else (for non-americans anyway)

+1. Casinos are going to be the real winners here IMO.

What is going to happen to the millions of players? Will there be any other prosecutions?

My girlfriend works at a local bank and was handed an list of companies that they can longer accept checks from. She said it is illegal to cash or deposit and money from those companies and they are all tied to online gaming.

I just logged into FTP and was able to play (I live in Kentucky). Can anyone else do this? I can't transfer money player to player though.

Got a confirmation e-mail. think that means it's sent from their bank to my bank, and thus should be in transit. Don't think its any problems for non US players tbh. thankfully my sweat isnt a big one. I withdrew to my Credit card. didnt have the energy to withdraw to neteller/MB. im betting it'll work anyways.

I am not hataB2B :/
