The message boards full of pros are not happy right now. There are tons of other places to play, so I'm curious which ones will get the bulk of the migration and if they will be able to handle US customers properly.

US Gov is up for new elections soon, The Crooks Need Funding

Worst kind of Robbery IMHO!!!!

**grumpy** · 04-15-2011, 02:58 PM

what for the big poker winners sponsored by these companies, they are loosing millions in prize money. Money is frozen.

**fuzebox** · 04-15-2011, 02:59 PM

I think the legal subscription-bases sites are going to see a nice boost.

**Intrinsic** · 04-15-2011, 03:03 PM

They told banks they needed processing for american orders for golf balls and jewelry.... and are getting fined 3 billion dollars for money laundering................................ LOL

**Amputate Your Head** · 04-15-2011, 03:13 PM

**seeandsee** · 04-15-2011, 03:16 PM

**tranza** · 04-15-2011, 03:20 PM

**twistyneck** · 04-15-2011, 03:26 PM

pretty much sums it up

**Supz** · 04-15-2011, 03:52 PM

Im not sure if anyone here ever payed attention, but you can watch people play big money games on full tilt. there are games on there that have 100k+ hands, hand after hand. Cant imagine what some of these players like durrr and others have on there.

**Barry-xlovecam** · 04-15-2011, 04:08 PM

I think the point is being missed: Offshore business using US based servers and breaking US laws. Their servers were seized "in rem" ...

[N]one of the poker company principals indicted are in the U.S. and they haven?t been arrested, Bharara?s office said. ...

Internet Poker Entrepreneurs Charged With Fraud

However, their servers and any of their money in the United State was "arrested (seized)" in rem.

What's the drama all about? are many of you affiliates? or players? or just didn't realize that online poker is illegal in the us?

**PornoMonster** · 04-15-2011, 07:30 PM

Online is ONLY illegal becasue they can not tax it!

Australian's can't it seems, I would think this affects everybody.

**SomeCreep** · 04-15-2011, 08:59 PM

Sports betting and online gambling in non-gambling states in any form, is prohibited in the US. I think most people already know this.

Nice of the US to be telling the rest of the world what to do though, one of those sites was incorporated and running largely offshore.

**candyflip** · 04-15-2011, 09:28 PM

They just played a FullTilt commercial on the TV a minute ago.

No, that's pretty much a given.

**Emil** · 04-16-2011, 02:46 AM

**BluMedia** · 04-16-2011, 02:56 AM

I blame Epassporte.

**strobi** · 04-16-2011, 03:01 AM

All is good over here, can still play. Seems only the US is blocked.

**Jack Sparrow** · 04-16-2011, 03:05 AM

Theres a difference between gambling and playing poker.
Ive got a large stack in there, i dont intend to give that to the us government so they can go buy some missles.

**camsvipdotcom** · 04-16-2011, 03:49 AM

Can't US players open accounts with the help of some non-us friends and use proxies?
Would this work?

**u-Bob** · 04-16-2011, 04:20 AM

fulltiltpoker.com still works fine over here in the EU, but their internal links now all point to the .co.uk version....

**Wicked 1** · 04-16-2011, 04:59 AM

Here's the reason everyone got stung,This guy was facing doing 75 years for "allegedly" handling over 500 Million USD in card transactions for online gambling.

The FBI grabbed him in Vegas last year and he disappeared.

Now he's been released and is supposed to be under witness protection and a star witness against at least 11 Gambling operators.

Goes to show there is no honor amongst thieves

As he handled all the transactions I'd expect some pretty incriminating evidence has been handed over to the F.B.I to save his ass.

Well.. most of the poker sites allow VISA deposits... This was awesome when Epassporte was around. Now that the new cards like Paxum and Payoneer are MC, you can't fund your account with them...

So if your friend will put up funds... this would work and you don't need proxies... You just need to not be a US citizen.

I think if it was fully offshore, domain name also, they would have been safe.
