I Have Some VERY Pissed Off Gambling Friends
 

My one buddy lost $1300 to Fulltiltpoker and he is pissed (as he's a Canadian). I can't imagine how many other people had money in their accounts and are frantically now trying to withdraw the funds. Who knows if they will ever see a dime of their money :(

Additionally I wonder who is going to pick up the majority of this business now since the top 3 have been essentially sunk?

see sig, nog.

unfortunately, a lot of people are going to be losing a lot of money due to this..

Its called gambling for a reason ;)

yep, lots of people are going to be fucked. my brothers friend earns a living playing poker online and probably had some serious money in there

I thought that was going to take me to BudsPokerRoom.net or something like that :winkwink:

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!!!!

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

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

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

funds are in motion.

if you fuck with USA , you cant win, and i think people should cry now

What happened? Source please?

hahaha Fucking hilarious. I hope all of you fuckers lose a shitload of cash.

pretty much sums it up

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.

Lame <------------

hmm, some money to be made by some other sites right now
sad though for those guys..and players who lost their money

jesus thats fucking insane

POW Winning............. :upsidedow

what happened?

I'm pretty sure Canadian players and their money is safe.

WOW... how you been doin????

BTW nice 777 post ;)

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?

Online is ONLY illegal becasue they can not tax it!

Don't ya just love the USA?!

nobody is losing any money .. everything will be paid out

so can Canadians and Europeans still play on Full Tilt?

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

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.

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

No, that's pretty much a given.

I blame Epassporte.

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

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.

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

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

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.

nice sig here :winkwink:

$1300 is nothing, he's really pissed over $1300?

I have $1800 on UB. Praying i get my money. Sucks so much.

canada has legal regulated online gambling , i wonder why use an offshore outfit ?

50 pissed off gamblers...
