General Poker Discussion Poker Forums

Just to be on the safe side, I would probably suggest withdrawing some of your money if you live in the U.S. I can't speak for other countries. Who knows how this will all go down, but it can't hurt to take some $ off (if it works for you obv).

On the bright side, you can then use that money to join our Kiva team and loan the money out while waiting for all of this to blow over!

Whoops, sorry

Sorry, I was reading it on 2+2 before it went down and didn't notice your link.

It's bizarre to look at my normal tables on Stars and for there to be no regs there at all. There are still 253,000 people on Stars right now though.

WEBSITE WORKS USING THEIR IP ADDRESS (taken from client network status):
http://77.87.179.116 for pokerstars.

Showing the DOJ seizure for me.

I just logged in to Pokerstars

It's confirmed that pokerstars has blocked all U.S. players.

Why isn't anything about this on the FBI website?
What you think, is there any connection with the big server cashes, what was ca. a month ago? (PS, FT, Ongame, IPoker servers was down in the same hour)

It's confirmed that pokerstars has blocked all U.S. players.

So can you still cashout or what?

Then they are restricting at the IP level now.
In Mexico, I still have webpage access via the IP address -- but my PS account is in the U.S. (I am trying to update with PS support now).

What will this mean for DeucesCracked?

How can fbi can seize funds from non-us players of Isle of Man based company when they are breaking the law only in the US? Surely the money people have on the site is protected under EU and UK legislation and FBI can't go seizing assets of EU citizens just because of its retarded laws?

This will be terrible for us all nonetheless, I go search for a real job I guess D:

were any of the non-USA players having trouble withdrawing from FTP ? or was it just USA players?

I live in Sweden and withdrew from FTP on Fri 8th of April, had the withdrawal approved on Sun 10th of April and the money in my bank acc on Wed 13th of April, so no problems for me at least.

Edit:
Nvm, thought u were speaking of the long waiting times for withdrawals americans have experienced the last couple of months..
