Hope this aint true, Online poker being shut down?

I requested a cheque from moneybookers today in case they go after the payment processors. AKA Neteller

Cashed in my Stars stellar rewards too. Never noticed I had a bunch from 2010 that I never collected.

Better burn your PSO points too.

i think the more interesting stuff is to come if the big 3 can weather the storm or not, but party poker might be the way to go for online poker when it smooths out, its been trying to be on the up and up for months..... actually did a good withdrawl last month with no idea of this coming down, i have about $200 left on stars to lose, bah who cares....tonight i will head towards turbo overlays woo hoo!!

See what you miss out on when you are in bed sick??

**Edit took out post of pop up from stars: Saw that Comp had posted it**

I do have a wondering though.....since all the Yanks can not play, are they all going to be automatically unregg'd from tournaments they had pre reg'd for, such as the Sunday Majors or the Scoops Events? Or does that fall under the .. You pre - reg at your own risk? Thoughts folks?

2nd edit:

Maybe they are just looking for a list of US players and their Profits so they can collect the proper taxes on income made?? ;)

Just after 7 a.m. here in Ontario. Tried to log onto FTP got a "new software available". Try to download it and get a message "could not download update, please try again later". Tried a few times and getting the same message. AP/UB I can log onto fine, but don't play there. What to do...what to do.......

I think this is a scam by FTP. If people can't log on today, they won't get their 25 buck bonus...LMAO

I managed to do the update around 4:30am

I've got 400ish staked out to US players. :(

Guess I'll eventually get it back.

I am still getting the error message that it cannot download the new version. Any suggestions ?

STR82ACE

I had no problems downloading the newest versions on either P* or FT.

On a side note, if you're looking for someone to blame for this clusterfuck, apparently its this guy's fault...

Morning all, just readying though some of the info on this and one thing seems to stand out to me.

The idea that PS, FT and other companies were using fake company names such flower or bike companies to process payments through the credit card companies seems like a open and shut case of illegal activity. If this is proven I cant see that they have much of a leg to stand on.

any thoughts?

Vekked

You're right, whoevers behind those decisions is effed, but it doesn't necessarily mean the companies shut down

My thoughts exactly, this could get very messy. These are international charges backed up by Interpol warrants. I have a hard time believing that Stars/Tilt et all survive this in any form. Extradition warrants, etc seem to be mere formalities. Time will tell...

Sharantyr

Any one else see this? Is the timing just a coinkydink? IMO, it is not a new idea that Americans have not only been getting funds onto, but also off of these offshore sites....why did they pick 3 days after this decision to move on it?

News from The Associated Press

**Side note: Stars has posted that there are still the same number of Gtd tournaments however some of the Guaranteed Prize Pools have been changed to reflect the absense of the US players.

Eg: Sunday Storm now at 200k gtd
Early $11 25k gtd now 20 k gtd

Those are the ones I noticed at first glance anyways.

So it looks like we can continue to play. US Market now does not exist.

I can see this in the headlines lol US on line Poker players flood Canadian Border claiming refugee status . lol
