I like how they did it basically after taxes. So they don't discourage the big winners to give them their cut.

It is not a virus. Fulltilt is in the middle of a major ****-storm, and some of their routing has a few problems. the "it works" is just a default apache screen.

Brink88, stop being a troll.

This is a power play by the US govt to get their hands on the whole ****ing enchilada.

Ron Paul was the only one consistently for us. The other guys just want to tax us.

Attempted to withdraw from Stars today at about 2PM, about $1,000. They claim it's processing and have yet to tell me differently. Kinda doubt I'll ever see the money to be honest, but at least a few hours have passed with no denial message.

I think the online poker market in the US is just too lucrative to remain forever untapped. Someone somewhere will get something rolling. That said, we US players should probably get used to the idea of a reasonable span of time without online poker (6 months?). Just guess work on my part, of course. Definitely sucks though.

Yeah, imo the likely now much greater stigma that is attached to poker via today in itself (for ex., ESPN now no longer airing WSOP Main Event rerun tonight) represents a serious threat to the health of the game (among many other serious threats, ofc)

to all you yellow dog democrats who don't want to blame obama... that's fine. i actually think it is kind of ridiculous to blame obama for this.

just like it was ridiculous to blame bush for what happened to new orleans after katrina.

didn't stop the democrats then, probably won't stop the republicans now.

Ahh ok. Would that warrant a, "that's what she said?" ala the great Michael Scott?

Just out of curiosity, did Absolute Poker release a statement or press release?

Full Tilt.

I had a update couple of minutes ago. Can log in and access cashier.

The promotions page now is located under a co.uk address. Can't access the promo page though (sec_error_revoked_certificate).

So they are moving their IT infrastructure to co.uk addresses and it will take time to get it all done I guess.

im older than a lot of posters here and was playing when party got banned. for that we got a warning and plenty of time to withdraw money, even that seemed bad. this is WAY worse. the thing that makes this that bad is back then several sites stood up and kept allowing us players, now from the little i know ap is the only one doing that.

I´m in Germany, I tried to cash out 800$ from PS through Neteller twice already and I got this email message after:

We regret to inform you that due to a technical issue, your recent Neteller cashout request was rejected in error.

I did cash out months ago without any problem.
