posted on two plus two was that online companies hold players money in an over seas trust that the american governement has no juristiction on. its fine.

I have received my instadebit cashout as of last night into my bank account. :)

This whole mess has me split, one it really does not effect me unless they go after the payment processors also or Canada follows suit and I am loving the chaos and the effects it has on people who were assholes to me and screwed me couple of years ago.(what goes around comes around and it's great!).

Also what wetts said, if everything clears and good to go for us here it could be very good for us! aka new poker boom!:wink2:

Still can't get FTP's update. ??????????

wildbill7145

Not that I care as I don't play there often, but FT gives me the same messages posted earlier about not being able to dl the update and to try again later.

You can fix this with the ban hammer right Comp?

Just found a thread on 2+2 to go to new FTP site and it's downloading as I type this.

I hope putting this link on here is not against any rules. ????? Just trying to help out.

compuease;264248 wroteGot the same message on Tilt as others, then tried just now and it worked. i had left a piddling $70. there after my withdrawal this aft so I now withdrew that back to MB. Will update with results... Still awaiting my Stars withdrawal processed 5 hrs ago.

Finally received an email on my last Tilt withdrawal to Moneybookers, declined as below.

Your withdrawal request has been declined. Please review your personal account information to ensure that it is the same as the information stored with your payment processor. You may correct any of your personal information and try again. If you are still unsuccessful, you may wish to try one of the other available withdrawal methods.

Strange that my withdrawal for several hundred went through fine only a few hours before I started this one. I have sent an email back requesting reasons.

I see the problem - you were trying to withdraw XX dollars. Even though the sites are now European based, I don't think they take Greek letters.

Also please refer to this situation as "COLD DECK FRIDAY". Much more appropriate. :)

HVEEPOKER

Still sifting thru 2+2 . Another site was shut down in the US. Can't find the thread.( Warthog) or sumtin like that.

Bodog is reportedly offering US players 110% sign up Bonus and 50 to 90 % rake back.
Americans are trying to figure out how to make a deposit and are wondering if they will ever see their monies.

Found it WOMBAT LOL

Full tilt seems to have their main site at fulltiltpoker.co.UK.

The mobile app is working again as well. Will check out some of the other networks now to see what they are like.

I played on Stars from Canada. Yesterday evening I decided to take out my money as I don't feel it's safe leaving it there. It went fine and the withdrawal was "Pending".

Today I get this email from security@pokerstars.eu

"Hello,

Your cashout has been placed on hold as we have determined that
the funds you are cashing out originate from recent deposits made
to your account. We are not implying any wrong doing but ask that
you please explain the reason for cashing out these funds.

Please be aware that if we do not receive a response from you
within 30 days, your cashout will be cancelled and your account
frozen.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

Marlon
PokerStars Security Team"

Yes I had made a deposit a month ago and not played much but why should it make any difference?

I feel they are just trying to keep the money or that they just don't have access to most of their bank accounts. Scary.

Only 600$ but that still makes me mad.

I replied explaining the obvious reason I want my money out of there.

Just waiting to see what happens next.

Will be moving to Loto-Quebec/Play Now ASAP until things are more clear.

Any Canadian player able to withdraw successfully from Stars?

WOMBAT POKER - not real, it's a joke I'm pretty sure, don't get alarmed

Kazcon - your issue has nothing to do with the current situation, that's super standard. You're not allowed to withdraw funds until you've played through them (ex. if you deposit $100 you have to play 100 $1 SNGs before you can cash out). Every site does this to prevent money laundering and stuff.

That aside, I don't think any withdrawal methods are working except for instadebit at the moment.

kazcon

Vekked - Thanks for that information. I've never cashed out like this without playing trough all my money. ;-)

Maybe I'll just have to play it.

I was not aware of this policy. If it is true it must only apply to new players or something because I have deposited $600 for reload bonuses many times and cashed it back out 48 hours later, in some cases not even puttin in any hands and still being credited with a pending bonus in my account.

Don't you play a million hands a day...?
