'Black Friday' and associated fallout megathread

[WVHillbilly]

Both of my withdrawal requests (one EFT and one check) from FTP have been declined. $$s are back in my FTP account which works currently but won't before too long. Basically our $$s are going to be sitting for a while at best and are gone for good at worst.

Have a good weekend!

 

[Debi]

Their statement says we will still be able to withdraw - but seems that nobody can lol.

 

[Dreams of Tragedy]

I guess the gov. going to come after my home game next to stop that too..
hear what the sites have up now..notice the warning they have in the tab..

 

[Sven Deuceman]

I'm glad I live in Canada where I am not affected..but god help us if Harper gets a majority govt in the election next month. Him and his puritannical cronies will no doubt try to muzzle online poker for us now that the US govt has made a move.

crappy thing being we have no one else to vote for and not so sure the others wouldn't just do the same
proud to be canuckistani but not so much lately

yeah but what bank will take it is now the question at hand

 

[tusabes]

Withdrawal request denied here too. Neat deal.

 

[sheesho]

is everyone spending ft points and academy credits?

 

[WVHillbilly]

is everyone spending ft points and academy credits?

Can't get into either, so no.

 

[tusabes]

Playing all in or fold tournaments on Carbon. Stay tuned for strat guide.

 

[xdeucesx]

[sheesho]

i got in to both, bought 2 shirts with 5 k points. have 9.6k credits so might buy a book if I can. Probably theory of Poker

 

[Sven Deuceman]

Don't they see this is just as useless as "the war on drugs" or the "war on terror." There will be 50 poker sites that step up and take their place. I mean WTF are they gonna do start dropping bombs on offshore islands? No way they can prosecute them all. Too much money involved for people not to take a chance. All they are doing is wasting our taxpayer money. BS. I'm moving to Canada. Even if I don't I won't be playing in any American casino's. They don't deserve my poker winning tax dollars. Dicks.

i've got some room and the casinos up here are a plenty
feel for you guys but if history ever repeats itself....? i may be in the same boat in a few years

 

[WVHillbilly]

I have 200K+ points and I keep getting a message that it can not create a secure connection?

 

[Poof]

Can't get into either, so no.

I am not sure if it is related, I tried to get my balance for the take 2 after playing for 25 min, on FF cannot access, I downloaded opera and google chrome, neither work.
I don't know if I should bother as it is probably a lost cause, or if I should do another 15 min today which I know will clear it and then kinda same for tomorrow, or do you guys think the take 2 is probably invalid?

 

[crow27]

put my name on the list for the jury pool.

Uh, no sir, I don't have an opinion on online poker. I'm just here to render a fair and impartial verdict!!! LOLOL

The Take Two is prob invalid as u willl not be able to play real money games within the next 48 hrs id imagine.

I just finished my 9th day of Take2 so it should be counted. As of a few minutes ago when I logged off of 2 tables of 10NL Rush you can still play in real money games.

It used a SSL cert which is both DNS dependent AND revoked.

I dont doubt theyd count it Dave. I just hesitate to consider how much relevance it has at a point like this. This whole shit has my simple mind for a loop bro.

I am finishing my last day as I type this...

As if I will ever see the $25...

I just hope to see the several hundred I have online atm.

I know there are folks that are worried about their THOUSANDS, and I feel for you as my measly 550 or so makes me sad to think it's gonna go poof into some lawyers mansion.
