still not able to withdraw any money at full tilt. anyone playing pokerstars able to withdraw?

Can you get to the poker site people via telephone? I'd want to get my money up front, before they start adding up legal fees.

If not, I"ll bet this telephone number is available on the internet:
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharra

i'm not that worried. i assumed the money was gone on friday. if there's a chance i can eventually get access to it that's great.

i'm sure full tilt's owner's are going to be a little behind the curve set by the d.o.j. in a press announcement. i would guess there may be a hang up getting my major u.s. bank to accept an unmasked transfer from a gambling site which remains a violation of the 2006 act that caused all this uproar.

if i ever get it i'll be happy. if not, i'll live.

You'll get it back 100%. I've been down this road before with Netteller. To these Poker sites reputation is the most important thing they have. Not paying is suicide for their
business. They will survive this and can survive without the US market. I also think poker will eventually be legal in this country.

i loved netteller. it was so easy back then. 2-3 days for a withdrawal instead of 2-3 weeks.

i only posted this because normally i'd be in the middle of a $20+2 or $30+3 single table. i knew all the regulars and avoided them for the most part.

now i get my ironing done between posts.

i'm thinking of adding bedsheets.
