Says now Stars no longer servicing US Players. I transferred Money out of both accounts last night. Tilt and Stars.
Pool Money + Leaving less than 10$ in each. I am taking a break.
Good Thing Holy Crap!
Yeah I just cashed out most of my funds.... I requested a cheque, and it didnt give me any problems... keep my fingers crossed that it comes now!
On a side note, I played a $10+1 mtt last night (25k guaranteed) and it had a $4k overlay. I didnt think stars ever had overlays. lol I bet tonight will have lots though!!
Well I cashed out most funds back to Moneybookers from the sites I have any significant funds on, just in case. Easy to go back if I need to. Tilt was back in my MB within minutes. Still waiting on 4 others.
OK, Stars just arrived within 5 min. Sites I am waiting on are Bodog, Bwin and UB.
Actually Tilt was fine, lol, just looked and Stars has credited only $10. back to my Moneybookers, the email says the balance to be sent within 72 hrs... WTF Stars you give me $10. and hold the other few hundred?
from what I've heard it's only affecting US players right now
This is also what I am reading...I can't cash out because I just made a deposit to Stars, (gotta wait 48hrs) but again, it isn't much...think I will run the gauntlet with it and play a bunch of the overlays (if there are) tonight and cash out as much as I can as soon as I can.
Moose having no issues cashing out of either site today makes me more comfortable and thinking that it is mostly a US issue (for the time being)
Playing on Stars right now. Not too many Americans are playing. None in this
sng and only 1 out of 280 for the 4K I would normally play.
Usually half the registrations are American
Can somebody why we are effected by this? Are we jumping the gun a little by withdrawing all our funds?
Maybe, we know next to nothing at this point other than nothing good can happen, lol. I think the only way people never see their money is some worst case scenario that is unlikely to happen, but I can't say for certain.
Reports from Andrew Feldman (@ESPN_Poker on Twitter) is that all 3 sites that were hit today will be down everywhere in the next 48hours, this includes where they are legal

These American sons of b******!!! They have no right to play with our money on these pokersites. They are trying to seize all assets, yet the vast majority of those assets are likely not from American players but from players from other countries.
As for the $$$ on those sites, it is like chips in the pot. It isn't yours until you cash it out. Until then, it is similar to a promisory note (i.e. a promise to pay).

On the other hand I've got a whole lot more spending money for Vegas now. :wav:
Just better safe than sorry.

In the meantime, and in between time, Imma gonna play . . .
FT instant withdrawal, that was pretty quick.
This Sunday will be interesting, too bad I have to go out tonight, all the guarantees are still there for tonight.
For how long? Anybody know? Best guess?
Is it wrong I'm thinking of tossing it on one of the $55 70K Guarantees in the next couple of days and just hoping for some crazyass rungood
Haha...nope..That's what I am doing tonight.
Only if you can cash it out in the end...lol Which, I am personally not counting on..but here's to hoping!
USDOJ: Contact the Department
I think we should all email them - sparing no expletives and tell them to F*** off to Hell!!!
Opinions? :arghh:
