Re: THE major Poker sites and their owners charged with illegal gambling Oh finally I now have a sort of reply to my email from Saturday very early morning, I find it quite funny that they thank me for my understanding, as I really dont have any. Full Tilt did the most awful job in customer support in this case I have ever seen. Well I guess this email means just more waiting, my poor money all alone lost in space at moment header_black.jpg Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker support, Unfortunately, due to recent actions by the U.S. government, Full Tilt Poker is currently unable to facilitate 'real money' play, deposits or withdrawals by players based in the United States. Please rest assured that player accounts remain safe and secure and our technical and legal teams are working to have your money returned to you as soon as possible.

Re: THE major Poker sites and their owners charged with illegal gambling My Full Tilt debit card transactions (forced deposit and subsequent withdrawal) have both hit my bank account at the same time, yesterday, from Friday night. Nothing showing on my account for PokerStars yet, deposited Saturday and withdrew Mon, but I've had a confirmation email.

Re: THE major Poker sites and their owners charged with illegal gambling And Stars now introduce there best ever reload bonus :D:D:D SCOOP Poker Reload Bonus 2011 reload-bonus-header.jpg Reload and Boost Your Bankroll for SCOOP! As a reward for your loyalty, PokerStars is celebrating this year’s Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP) with a 50% reload bonus up to $200 (or equivalent in €, £ or CAD $)! It’s the perfect way to give your bankroll a boost in time to take your shot at SCOOP glory, and you can even start earning the bonus while you play your way through the series schedule. SCOOP is one of the biggest poker tournament series anywhere online, with millions of dollars in guaranteed prize pools on the line. Best of all, every event has a low, medium and high buy-in level, which makes it the series that everyone can play. The SCOOP Reload bonus gives you extra cash you can use to buy in directly to any of the 38 events, or qualify via any of the satellites running non-stop for each tournament. It’s the series that everyone wants to win, with life-changing money up for grabs, plus Championship titles and the chance to prove you are one of the world’s best players. Plus, you can even use the cash to play any other PokerStars game or tournament. How to Claim the SCOOP Reload Bonus Simply reload your existing PokerStars account with the bonus code ‘SCOOP’ between now and 23:59 ET on May 8 to be eligible. You will then have from the date of your deposit to 23:59 ET on May 31 to earn the required number of VPPs and release the bonus. The bonus will the cleared at a rate of 20 VPPs per $1, and will be released into your PokerStars account in increments of $10 (or €10, £10, CAD $10). This means you will release $10 for every 200 VPPs earned (this is the $ example - see below for other currencies). The earning requirements for each of the currencies supported by this bonus are shown below.

Currency Maximum Bonus Clearance Requirement
$ 200 20 VPPs per $1
€ 140 27 VPPs per €1
£ 120 32 VPPs per £1
CAD $ 190 20 VPPs per CAD $1

Example ($): In April, you deposit $200 using the code ‘SCOOP’. That means you’ll get $100 (50% of $200) of pending bonus, and you’ll have until May 31 to earn the 2,000 VPPs (20 x 100) required to release the entire bonus. See the PokerStars VIP Club pages for more on how to earn VPPs. Contact Support if you have any questions about the SCOOP Reload Bonus.

Re: THE major Poker sites and their owners charged with illegal gambling

Anyone know what the people with T$ will have to do to cashout?
what would you have done with them before the panic? if it was use them why not still use them ? this whole thread is a bit sad these sites will probably still be here in a 100 years time ( well not ub ) but will not be if everyone takes there money out . if you have $1000s in there it would be a worry but why have that much in there if you cant afford to lose it? i expect most people could afford to lose a couple of hundred dollars, annoying yes but not the end of the world. are you all the same people that when it snows are down the supermarket clearing all the berad and milk. personaly id rather see stars and ft still here but if everyone withdraws they wont be. sorry for the ran but get a grip

well for me it is a difference if I loose my money on the table or if I loose it due to what happened right now. So yes maybe the sites will still be here in 100 years, may be not. I have my doubts regarding to Full Tilt as they not did a good job there and I think some of there players will go to Pokerstars who seemed to have done and doing a better job at moment. No one says it is the end of the world, but well it is annoying. I rather loose my money myself than someone else doing it for me without me asking for it And there is nothing wrong to get milk and water when it snows, even though I would advise tea, and flour and general stuff. I do it, and I not mind admitting this. Well not to much, but in winter yes I have more reserve of food and tea than in summer. If this makes others laugh I dont care. After all I live in Bavaria, and we have really snow, not that bit like in Britain, I know you had quite a bits last winters, but we have sometimes a few days where nothing works, and this is meant literally. So cant see wrong in this. I have to say I really liked Full Tilt and playing there, much more than Stars, and what upsets me at moment besides the fact that my money is still wherever and they seem to think Germany is a State of USA, is the way they behave. If the money comes good, but I think I would not go back there. Whereelse to Stars I would/will. The upsetting thing really is the customer support of Full Tilt at the moment. I know they having a crisis, but Stars has as well, and they do a much better job. I have a few dollars left on tilt, which I will play down, well or increase but once this is done I be gone, and I really dont care if they stop existing or not, why should I care about them, they not care about customers. Where Stars or others at least do like they would care (not saying they do)

Re: THE major Poker sites and their owners charged with illegal gambling

Just a general Question Gina' date=' i have a few which just got me thinking what did the people who grind out satellites do with T$?[/quote'] well on Full Tilt you can exchange tourney dollars into real dollars, with a fee not know how it works on stars, i usually take them as buy in But why not playing for them and make it more? Withdraw seems to work with both now, so unless Full Tilt not thinks Ireland is a State of USA like they do with Germany, you should get your money quick

No panic for me, ill be using them, but if you think about the players who grind the hyper-turbo sats to the Sunday Majors on stars, they must have had at least 80% of their bank roll in T$ dollars, if they are from the U.S. are they allowed to trade they for cash to withdraw, has Stars made them an offer for their T$. What is the going rate, before this kicked off the trade was close to 1:1 but it can't be anywhere close to this now.
well on Full Tilt you can exchange tourney dollars into real dollars, with a fee not know how it works on stars, i usually take them as buy in But why not playing for them and make it more?

Ill be using them down the line, thankfully the majory of my roll is on stars, but it is not alot so ill leave it be for the foreseeable future. As for Tilt i am not too worried about my $7, not worth getting stressed out over. On a side note i have very little desire to play at the moment and i don't think Tilt would have a chance in cliaming Ireland is a State of the USA, every one knows the IMF and ECB owns Ireland.:rollin:sad
