    Looks like it is...hmm...methinks our Stars and Tilt monies are seized then?
  • DennisGDennisG
    Glad I didn't final table that Stars game last night...lol

    All my monies with the exception of a few hundred on Stars, are on PlayNow..*phew*

    my guess, full tilt guy is just laughing

    "Federal authorities also have filed restraining orders against 76 bank accounts in 14 countries" seriously who does the US think they are.....

    I think the poker community has enough money and enough brains to deal with this...

    I'm also guessing full tilt and whomever knew what they were doing and already had lawyers look it over...US doesn't have enough money to deal with this....

    Pretty sure the games will continue to run as they do not use the DNS system for connections. The IP is coded into the executable.

    It also says that the seized the domain names for each company. Anyone have any trouble logging into Full Tilt or PokerStars today ?
  • SteveKerrSteveKerr

    reports on 2+2 is that players cannot register for tournaments, cash out, or do player to player transfers

    didn't someone on here mention that Tilt must think something is going to happen since they added multi entry tournaments and were going to be starting another FTOPS so soon?

    From what I am reading on 2+2 Some states are not working and some places in Europe. Stars and tilt.com UB.net. Nothing I can see . We play on Stars.net and Tilt.net. Is there a difference? IDFK
