Great idea for a thread (although they could all be listed in one post instead of three). I meant to do it myself, actually, but you beat me to it. :thumbsup:

I actually wasn't sure how I was going to list them. At first I planned to post the list of sites and then copy and paste the latest communication from them (email, media, etc), but I think that might be too long?

Do you think the actual text of the sites responses should be pasted in here, or just links. If it is just the links I will condense them to one post. I mostly just wanted to get the top 2-3 posts in case I changed the format after people replied.

I think links are the way to go - much cleaner and easier to find what you are looking for. If people want to see the text, they can click on the link.

If you do decide to delete 2 of your posts, just "soft" delete them. they they will (sort of) still be there, in case you change your mind later.

While I can't find a direct link on their website, I'm pretty sure that Bodog has extended its middle finger north...

Robbie Robb 10-05-06 06:53 PM

And another one that has replied via customer emails that they are staying in the game is UltimateBet. There are emails over on 2+2 from both Bodog and UB support to players reassuring that they are staying in the game.

EDITED TO ADD: Okay. Found a link to PokerNews where UB, Bodog, and Absolute have all indicated that they intend to remain in the game:

Thanks BB, very nice.

Add Full Contact Poker to the list of companies that are sticking around. And, since they're part of OnGame, I'm presuming that all of OnGame is in for the long haul. This is from an email I got from them this morning:

Any news at all from PokerRoom?

Defendant 10-13-06 01:11 AM

Assuming theyre a go, since Fullcontact stays, being a Pokerroom skin

Don't be so sure:

Off to cash out at PR. :rolleyes:

Fyi
 
Well, Friday the 13th is hear, and my understanding is that Dubya signed the bill. So, just for the hell of it, I tried to deposit some money at 'Stars using my Debit/MasterCard, issued by my 100% US Bank.

It was approved. :D

The only point here is that most banks will probably take close to the full 270 days to get their ducks in line.

Reel Deal 10-14-06 07:33 AM
