RT @oskargarcia: Absolute responds, says it'll keep US operations going & Congress 'has no control over' transactions

Well they finally dropped the ban hammer

I can't cashout using moneybookers or bank wire on PS.

My only option is by check, should I cashout my entire roll by check?? I live in Canada.

Someone please give me advice on what to do! please

Pokerroad is the only major one I could think of that is still working fine. 2p2 seems stable too now though.

Is this just traffic overload or something more sinister?

Full Tilt has decided that it "must suspend 'real money' play in the United States until this case is resolved."

Lol I couldn't get direct transfer because my account was under $100 fml so I mass tabled SNG's and just cashed it with $100.52 :P

No luck on FTP though, got my start up through transfer and now I'd have to deposit in order to withdraw!

Most likely due to the monumental increase in activity on the forums effectively overloading the servers. Too many requests for everyone to get in.

Traffic overload imo
When I logged in 7000 people were viewing NVG... 5 minutes later it was down. I guess we all stopped refreshing for a while and it's a bit stable now.

Another small poker forum who shall/cannot not be named is down now too.

04-15-2011 , 10:12 PM
So has stars or full tilt still not made some sort of announcement?? WTF is going on, I asked a mod not long ago if he knew anything that was happening and he blanked me, fair play i suppose but theyre still letting people deposit FFS they cant stay quiet forever, its not right were relying on twitter updates to know if were maybe being robber or not
