Seems like a bad time to cash out though as there is a high likelihood of bouncing. They are going to have to figure their shit out with the processors and it's gonna take some time. Plus even if you successfully enter the cashout through the site doesn't mean they are actually able to send it out at this moment.

There is still, in my opinion, some blame for the Operators themselves. They ignored the need to act and arrogantly assumed the US Government could do nothing.I have been on the record of saying that in order to reestablish consumer confidence AND head off the almost certainly pending US Govt action, the industry needed to band together and declare themselves an organized INDUSTRY. They needed to establish standards, guidelines, testing procedures, security protocols, privacy guidelines...But they didn't.Then they needed to run - not walk - to the US Govt and show them their progress and then PLEAD for regulation. I suppose it could have been the EU instead of the US Govt, but I think the only way to ensure that the US Govt didn't act in a punitive manner was to let them set the rules. In no way am I saying the the US Govt is better than others (at least not in this debate), and I do not tend to be trusting of my or any other government, I just think that On-Line Gaming was gonna need to do something desperate to stay in business.But they didn't.Welcome to Black Friday.

I'd expect the payment processors in the US to be frozen, as well as banks refusing any transactions. Plus do we think that the Sites have sufficient Cash Reserves to handle a panic fueled run?

Can anyone that was playing in the US before this happened get in any sort of legal trouble?
For violating Gambling Laws, Banking Laws and possibly Internal Revenue regulations :icon_dance:Probably could.

This blows.Wynn (WYNN.O) stock did not take a dump which surprises me. I thought the current run up was due to the partnership with the pokerstars. Wonder if there is going to be a surge at casinos.Edit: Rather Ironic this went down April 15.

What I don't get is; why is Stars blocking out US players all of a sudden NOW? I mean, it already was illegal right? The govt made this clear and stars and tilt said ya whatever. So why block us because the domain got seized and some more indictments were thrown out? I really thought it would just be business as usual. What am I missing?
