kinda knew this was coming, maybe not to this degree but something like this.

A friend of mine put on a good chunk of money a while back, like a couple months ago. He ended up going on a bad run and lost his deposit, he went and checked his bank account like a month later and noticed that they did not take the money out of his account. He emailed them and they said they were having issues and would take it out, needless to say 2 months later they still had not taken the money. After 3 months he closed the account and opened a new one because he didnt want to forget the money was there and accidently spend it then have them take it out and overdraw his account.

Their processors have been pulling away from them for months it seems.

I actually haven't closed my client since all this happened and can actually still register for tourneys.

I may be playing a Sunday schedule with FTOPS today...

Duh, I should've thought of that. They have to do a software update to block US players, but when updates are done, you're not forced to install the update until the next time you open the client.

Good job!!

Interesting difference between the sites.

On 'Tilt, I can play a FTP freeroll with real money prizes. On 'Stars, I can't. So much for GOYL.

I have money on Cake but is it worth even playing there right now with the possibility of them being shut down next and funds being frozen there? I am not sure how long all this will last or cashouts being stopped some I am just curious on how this is going to work. I have good bit on Cake too, I may just try to cash it out right now and see how long it takes to get. Its crazy how quick all this happened and why now of all things?? Well good luck to everyone getting their funds off who has some tied uip in these sites. TP, I truely feel for you after you busted your butts the last 4 months on your Supernove Elite quest, maybe something will get worked out for you!

How did it go? I railed you for a while early on. Didn't think you had that much gamble in you - the AK triple-up hand.

It went ok... I cashed 4 of 9 tourneys or something, but I didn't get deep into anything. I basically converted like $900 of tourney tickets to like $600 of cash money. Who know if they will be values the same or not when it comes time to closing accounts and (hopefully) distributing finds. Now I'm extra glad that I had previously spent some of my FTP points on two ipod touches, a Canon camera, a Sony LCD TV, and my Herman Miller Aeron chair, rather than saving them up for potentially nothing.

Unfortunately, a little popup appeared yesterday forcing me to update/restart and I haven't been able to log in since. I can't even get the update to run.

Transfers were frozen almost immediately.

If you know and trust someone with a non USA account maybe you could transfer funds to their account and have them cash it for you?
