Its time to march. March on D.C. Stand at the top of the capitol steps. Millions and millions of poker players. THEN SIT OUR BUTTS DOWN AND PLAY .01/.02c LIVE RING GAMES AND SHOW THE WORLD, THE HARM THAT CAUSES

Have you tried OpenDNS?

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

They're pretty big though and likely fast to update, but I'm too lazy to switch and try.

Hmmm... makes me wonder if phreebird DNS (Kaminsky's SecureDNS) is any different...

Yeah, neither work. So what are you folks who can still get to the store/my promos page using as your DNS???

That's well and good if you only have $2, but what about people that have substantial br's? I fund my yearly trip to vegas with my FT play. I'm very sad!

My sympathies. This is why I never deposited.

My advice: sit tight. Keep an eye on the news feeds. So far, FT is allowing real money play in the U.S. so if you want to play with your roll and give rake/fees to someone that is in federal prosecution, good luck.

I was able to cashout at Stars, which said they couldn't do echeck (my normal method there) but their processor would mail me a check I should receive with 10 days. They advised me to cash the check immediately at my bank, not some other place.

Tried to cash out at FT, but they said (as they have to others here) that their secure site was not available.

Went to UB to do the same, but I don't have much above the minimum there and am too tired to go through all that right now. Just for the hell of it I decided to register for a cash game and got right in as always. Strange.

I just read another thread and it sparked a thought. You reckon Carbon and the Merge network haven't been mentioned in the DOJ or whatever it's called because they don't got dirt on them from that Australian guy?

If so, is that a reason to assume they are safe? They are after all going after the big sites for fraud/money laundering and it's only supposedly been possible to serve the indictment because he can supposedly trace back transactions to processors and what not.

For anyone trying to access the FTP store/promos/withdrawals page, 8.8.4.4 (google's DNS) seems to work. Now what do I spend 200K points on????

I would say the $500 cash bonus is the best value.

It's most likely ISP specific DNS which hasn't propagated yet WVH, but most likely there are now very few of those left.

What will happen is FTP will have to rewrite the client to connect directly to an IP address, and they will have to issue themselves a SSL cert, which is kinda squirrelly. And it might not happen. However I see a new ftp client is out now.

Ok, I've made my final decision WV.

Either the Branded Security Key, some cool new custom shades (for your home games) or the 50k watch with a FT sign on it.

TOTP again I'm on fire!:

ya same. so if you log out, it's over for US players?
I reckon, that's what they're saying. ^^^^^

Kinda makes me want to leave it logged in, but I'm not sure why -- I could win a million bucks tonight and prolly never see it.

I was able to cashout at Stars, which said they couldn't do echeck (my normal method there)
Strange, I cashed out via echeck right before the league game and it went through. Or at least it appeared to. Got the email from them saying it will be submitted for processing to my ECHECK account.

it's funny how i cant sit at ftp's tables anymore but there's still people from the US playing. It has to be the software update that locked me out or something
