To get into FTP you need to download a new client from www.fulltiltpoker.co.uk. Money? Prob OK for a UK player, but it is a time of great uncertainty. Trying to withdraw it prob can't do any harm. |

thanks for the reply,
i've just took a chunk from FTP, and will probably do same with Stars later.
better to be safe than sorry i suppose.
I feel for the US players that may lose their rolls. i almost had a panic attack!

The gist of the statement by Stars is to reassure players that the player funds are not held by Stars, so the funds can't be embezzeled by Stars before they go bust.
I'd think that they could embezzle if they wanted to - the arrangement should mean that if Stars go bust, the funds can only be used to re-imburse players (that doesn't mean that other agencies can't try to get these funds with associated lawyers fee bonanza). |

I wonder how many poker players now effected by this ban voted for Bush and his cronies that brought this in?

I think the Illegal Gambling Business Act was brought in by Nixon (ironically a well known poker player), so not many I would think  |

All that law did was prevent banks from funding "illegal" gambling sites. There has to be a law making the gambling illegal in the first place. The law being used is the one mentioned above. |

A lot of the people affected by this wouldn't have been old enough to vote for Bush in 04' and certainly not 2000.

Well we can talk about the exact legal laws and implications all day but the fact is Bush took it upon himself to basically close the loopholes and set the wheels in motion to prevent any online poker activity for Americans. I wonder why did he do it? was it pressure from certain groups in America? do they see Online poker as a huge problem? |
