Anyone have any advice about whether check cashouts or bank wires are a better idea right now? Like a moron I don't have the wire info so I have to wait till tomorrow morning to get it from the bank.

I'm really worried about check cashouts since I could end up with a check that bounces if the accounts are seized or a check that's useless if the govt. cracks down on banks accepting payments from any Stars processors.

I figure at least with a bank wire it will either work or it won't, but I won't potentially left in that limbo.

Any thoughts?

I quite like the way people in Iran can log on to pokerstars now and play but Americans can't. The Land Of The Free They Say?

So what's the over/under on the WSOP main event without the online qualifiers?

Well I just cashed out my entire roll via wire transfer, sigh

Let me withdrawl i'am not from USA! dammit

It seems there are brand new examples of this disgusting truth every day. This country is such a bad joke.

I live in Canada as well and have always gotten checks which works great and only usually takes 2 to 3 business days if over 1k, and I decided to withdraw about 30% of my bankroll just a little while ago. I got the standard email I always get.

I'm pretty sure the processor it comes from is in Canada, so doubt that one has been shutdown/seized.

gl

sick irony that i can play on stars in iraq or afghanistan but i can't play from the good old USA.

like the chinese internet censors

can some one explain to me all the commotion with the withdrawing issue? i cant seem to follow it. If your not in the US you wont have any problems and if you are in the US you shouldnt be withdrawing as you are doing so using illegal payment processors and the government is obviously watching now so the last thing any US players should be doing is withdrawing, no?

Epic thread.

If I was a pro player in the US, would be buying tickets to a foreign country in a hurry.

american?

quoted for ****ing truth. the government needs to stay the **** out of people's private businesses.

I Lol'd

That's what I'd of expected

Stars must be Absolutely Huge .. imagine how much they've stashed away during the last 5 years

They could carry on regardless without U.S players (no offence to anyone)
Though the whole situation is a constant laughing stock
I mean Poker banned in the U.S ..... WTF .. WHY ... WHAT ... WHEN ... !!

How long before Howard Lederer is picked up???

how am I supposed to check my Take2 progress now?? 8 days of consistency for nothing...FML

lol

How can we even pretend to be a free country anymore, let alone the most free? We're now the ONLY country that isn't free to play.
