thank you for this very imformative post. I definately feel a lot better now.

I ****ing hate my country

I was going to but figured 8 people would beat me to it.. Sick props to the guy who posted it before I even finished reading it.

I think its very smart to get your money off these sites as fast as possible, and do it the instant they give you the option to do so. Money like this could be dispursed on a first-come first-served basis if some of the trust money isnt there or gets tapped by the feds.

According to the radio show that isnt allowed to be mentioned, FT just issued a statement a few minutes ago that that the money is ok and they are allowing real money games and withdrawals are business as usual.

This is directly contradicting their previous statement.

TIME TO GO TO CLUB ONE :P too bad their rake is so steep

Appears all of us outside the US are ok for now, I personally have cancelled my cashout for now.

For those who can't use cashier on FullTilt Poker, you need to do some fix:

It's in french, but it's pretty easy to understand (close software, add the lines find on Step#3 of the post)

Good news i quess

Same here. I withdrew a couple hundred from PS and FTP about 6.5 hours ago and the funds from both sites hit my Moneybookers account within a few minutes. I also withdrew a couple hundred from UB about five hours ago and those funds haven't reached MB yet, but UB is usually a bit slow in my experience.

FWIW, I'm a US citizen living in the Czech Republic.

If you don't have some of your money in something the government can't take away by the push of a button or the passage of a law (like gold preferrably held outside the US) then you are not really financially secure.

Gold hits an alltime high the same day the US government makes this gangster move== not a coincidence.

thats not neccessarly true. At least in the case of FTP its very possible that they have a few undetected processors that are still going to be working. I think its likely FTP will allow people to cash out somewhat right away.

Espically given FTP's statement.

WTF?!

Freest Country in the World

Sorry if this already been posted but...

JUST IN FROM POKERSTARS (non US players notice):

Ouchhhh, it hurts. Make the pain go away

Im not the smartest guy so am not understanding something
in the 4k plo8 on ftp my entire table is Americans and myself (Canadian)

This sucks.

The real victims here are the guys at Bluefirepoker who made the Online Poker Documentary video without being able to include this.

I translated all step in english. So just follow this to be able to see every FBI seized website and fix cashier bug in FTP.

Tom Dwan would not do well in the Pen.
Just a thought.
Phil Ivey, however, would be gangsta on the range.

SO general consensus for a US based player w a PS account.. should I cancel my withdrawal or keep letting it process??

I can still play real money on FTP from Nashville... Does this seem right?
