NickZepp 0 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 ugh i just cashed out half my roll to be safe... now i'm not rolled for what i want to play. this is frustrating and its sickening that the US government can intrude on people's freedoms like this.This is what people want with the big government. As long as these same people get elected they will continue to infringe upon our freedoms. Link to post Share on other sites

NoSup4U 0 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 So it seems this isn't affecting all the processors which is in line with what everyone is saying about this so far... but my $0.02 is that all processors are gonna go down eventually, and eventually it will be unprofitable for these sites to serve the US market It would take a LOT for it to be unprofitable to serve the US.You can still depo using prepaid visa’s, right?I deposited today with a Chase Visa (not prepaid) card.Mark Link to post Share on other sites

MaxStPolish 4 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The secret to the game is.......never having to reload. :)Or one tier less than that is having a friend who never has to reload that can exchange cash for online monies.Or two tiers less than that is being an e-bum and asking people for 5 dollars at big MTT FT's.LOL.

Jariso13 1 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Its interesting how little action this thread is getting. Why cant one of the major casino companies who are struggling mightily develop an online poker software and then lobby for the US to legalize it rather than lobby against it. Legalizing online poker isnt gonna hurt casino attendance. The majority of people that currently go to casinos to play poker are already playing poker online or are at least aware than it is an option. Very few people will decide they only want to play online and stop going to casinos. If anything it would generate more interest in poker, possibly creating a second poker boom and attract more people to casinos.I also hate the phillies. Why is chase utley such a homo?

This interview on fox is great imohttp://www.foxbusiness.com/video/index.htm...istId=undefined Thats an interesting point. Senator Al D'Amato isnt the most well spoken person on earth but if there is a chance being that this is becoming a mainstream story that the public will see how much a hypocrisy this is. I think the senator needs to talk about all of the people who play online for a living and are pretty much having their livelihoods taken away from them. In this time of skyrocketing unemployment is this really the time to force people out of their jobs? Link to post Share on other sites

But, I do think we have some solid ground to stand on. Link to post Share on other sites

John Pappas, the group's executive director, claims the frozen accounts contain funds owed to 27,000 players who used offshore poker Web sites.In a letter dated Friday and faxed to Alliance Bank of Arizona, the prosecutor alleged that accounts held by payment processor Allied Systems Inc. were subject to seizure and forfeiture "because they constitute property involved in money laundering transactions and illegal gambling offenses," according to the Associated Press. The letter was reportedly signed by Arlo Devlin-Brown, the assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.Representatives for Citibank and Wells Fargo confirmed to the New York Times that the banks have frozen funds at the request of federal prosecutors. A spokesperson for the Southern District Attorney of New York declined any comment to Post Investigations, citing a policy "never to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation." The Department of Justice also declined to comment.The alleged seizure is the latest development in the long-running debate over the legal status of online poker in the United States. In April 2009, the same U.S. attorney's office effectively shut down U.S. operations of PartyGaming Plc, which was one of the largest online poker sites in the U.S. before the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 became law. The measure prohibits online gamblers from using credit cards, checks and electronic fund transfers to place and settle bets.Meanwhile, online poker advocates have pushed the federal government to license and regulate online gambling, arguing that U.S. players are being steered to unregulated offshore poker sites.
