moose;264428 wroteLol no wonder they have gotten themselves in trouble. My cash out from pokerstars came through as 'Rational Entertainment Enterprises'.

That's the company that owns P* and all cashouts to MB have been by that name.

Below is the answer.
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.

Ok, now if we as Canadians don't have to worry why did I get this message back from Full Tilt (UK) as a result of above?

I would bet that moneybookers is the main processor and likely they have seized those accounts as said in the indictment. No doubt the options for us will be quite limited, instadebit will likely become the mainstay as I don't believe the US players had that option?

Nope, Moneybookers is not frozen, seized or otherwise locked, at least for us Canadians. I just did a test deposit of $10. back to Tilt from MB and it worked. Tomorrow I am going to atempt to link my TD US account with MB and try and withdraw. We'll see.

Hehe, what do you play these days?

@compuease - had the same MB issues and cancelled all my cashouts. Same thing is happening on all sites, I don't think it's an issue with MB specifically (as in there's something wrong or changed with it) so much as people realize early on that this was the quickest withdrawal method and probably EVERYONE at once tried to do it and they blocked it while things are sorting out. I'd give it a few days, for now I'm just going to keep an eye on twoplustwo until I see that things are working again and milk the 2.5k/day from instadebit while I can, lol.

So, update for FT still indicating to try again later.

Have seen elsewhere to go to the EU site for this instead. Does this mean re-installing the entire client overtop of my current FT client software?

This whole trip is involving alot more reading than I had planned on over the weekend and it's not even fun reading. Well, the state of panic is kind of entertaining in a strange way.

My Stars cashout showed up in MoneyBookers this morning... so, it was about 38 hours after I initiated the withdrawal.

A friend of mine had to uninstall and reinstall from the eu site. then it worked fine.

Thanks Dennis. Did this, took about 2 minutes, didn't even have to remember my password as it remembered it for me. Back up and running.

Don't know why that bothered me so much, I haven't played there in a long time.

The games can become significantly tougher if a lot of the American online pros decide to flee the United States of Anti-Poker so that they can TRY to continue making $100K+ in another country. While all the American fish are SOL from playing online, some of the best Supernova and FTP Red pros will be back playing. With all the US fish gone, there may not be enough fish for the many remaining sharks, and most players' win rate may go down. :arghh:

Which known American online pros have already said that they plan to move from the Nazi US? I read that up to 50% of US online pros may move, but I think it will be much less as many pros don't want to start a new life in another country and would be willing to make less money doing something else.

Wetts1012;264306 wroteSo the debate begins.
Will the games be softer, or tougher now?
My vote: softer. What say you.
