UB is not paying out to any customers right now (or at least a couple days ago... doubt it's changed) - - not just 'US'... but 'all' customers. They were still taking deposits on the weekend but not paying out. Not sure why anyone would play on there?

I've had money there for about 4-5 years. Just withdrew most of it this past Monday and got the check today.
There is a CC freeroll over at Carbon Poker on Wednesdays. I just deposited there yesterday.
LOL .. you must have never got teamed at a live table...

Alternatives to Fulltilt, pokerstars etc.
Anyone playing on money poker sites that aren't banned in the U.S? If so, which are the best

Maybe read the first couple pages of this thread & you'll see the answer.

online site traffic
i've been monitoring the significant sites for traffic 24/7 since black friday. pokerscout.com numbers are absolete by a huge factor and very misleading. as of 12:17 pm central Merge had 7189 players, Merge includes skins of Carbon, Playaces by Sportsbook.com, and Playaces by Playersonly.com. Cake had 2865. this is according to the numbers shown on their sites. bodog is harder to find figures on as they dont seem to display numbers on thier site, but from observing the games and from with i've gathered from other sites i expect they are not much over 1000. pokerstars had 202,393 by comparison. these numbers are up from last friday. Merge had a bit over 5000 in the afternoon the day of the crash, so seems to be getting the bulk of the post-crash added action. Ultimately, i think it will be a decision between the Merge skins, based on US player payment support.
what i havent found on these forums is how successful US players are in withdrawing funds from the various Merge and Cake skins since the crash. i expect it will remain more expensive and take much longer than Pokestars, whose echeck support had no fees and got the money electronically deposited in your checking account within a couple business days.

Not positive, but seem to remember someone posting that Cake left the US as well. See the megathread.....

I actually had a small amount on my Cake account that I hadnt played in a Long time. It worked fine last night. I played a .02/.04 Ring game.

Any good poker sites for US other than Carbon
Hi, I have been on Carbon Poker for about 3 weeks now. I liked playing there, but I can't make a deposit on their site. The tech chat tells me that I need to use Western Union to make a deposit.....theres no way that I would use western union for anything. I have been trying the visa option for over 2 weeks and it wouldn't go through. All other options aren't available for us residents.
I did sing in to Bodog, but all I could see was the 3 games available. You can't look through anything to find a game you want to join. Or, I'm just missing something.
Any recommendations from anyone here? Thanks in advance.

what games are you looking to play?
Bodog has up to a regular 100NL game always available, plus they have 200NL especially 6 max. Right now only 2 FR 200NL, but 10 6 max
SNGs are slow to fill but they have them
They have MTTs all day and evening with small fields generally

I'm trying to decide which site to look into. I was never concerned about cashing out of Pokerstars--they were incredibly reliable, but these lesser known sites worry me.
Which site should I pick and what rakeback options should I look into? I mostly play microstakes--all types.
Pokertracker support is a must because I own that software.
Thanks
