Depositing money was as easy as having them pull it from your bank account. It wasn't hard at all.
After the deal with Scott Tom and the hole cards, I pretty much wrote it all off. I never played real money anyhow but I did amass 16 million in play money. Do I get any of that back?

Nobody should be surprised this happened at all. You all knew you were taking a gamble, no pun intended, with online gambling in the US.
This is , been waiting on a 5k+ transfer for like a month, and now this happens. I personally have been playing for a living for the past 2 1/2 years, so this is very tragic imo. I'm sure most people's funds might be ok, but it will be a very long time before anyone receives them. Time to go apply at McDonalds.
That's good to know. I never heard if dude got his $80,000 back since he moved to Vegas to play in the casinos a month later and I haven't seen him since.
There's a reason I got out.
Is that what echecks were? I was going to go the prepaid visa card route, but threw in the towel when the su ious person behind the counter at one of those shady cash advance stores asked for my SS#
Also didn't feel like faxing over my DL to fulltilt and all of that nonsense.
Party asked for my DL way back in the day after I had a big cashout but that was the only time. Yeah, after the UIGEA they just started withdrawing from your account because Neteller went down. Well, they used some other ewallets but I forget their names. They lasted a few months or a year and then it was just straight bank accounts or they'd mail you a check.
Thats why they are in trouble now. They were using different ways of spoofing the banks as to where the money was going or coming from.
Felt like a punch to the gut. I've been playing for a living for about a year. Thank god I'm smart and try to keep only a small portion of my roll online. I still have about 10k online and 3k in limbo waiting to hit my bank account. A lot of this was because full tilt poker took so ing long to get my money. Most of it I tried cashing out 7 weeks ago. Really sux. At least the nba playoffs are starting. Short term I plan on moving in w/my parents to conserve money and reassess wtf I'm going to do. Grinding a job for a lot less then wat i make now working for some idiot asshole manager doesn't sound too fun.
Yeah it sucks for those who revolved their income around their online play and pretty much did nothing else with their lives.
Want to make sense?
If your alternative to online poker is McDonalds, you were ed already.
There's always farming gold in Warcraft?
Yeah the biggest cash game around here is 1/2nl. Pretty happy i have 2 yrs living expenses and a 4 year degree. I might move to. I'm gonna sit e and see what happens in the next 2 weeks.
I wouldn't ever ing play 1-2nl for a living live. Not even 2-5. Games are soft at at B&M but its so slow and sitting there with some of these degens is painful.
im playing on stars right now. nothing to see here.
also fulltiltpoker.net site is up as is pokerstars.com and .net. absolutepoker has a nice message on it though.
scratch that. when i joined a room i got the inevitable popup message. poker is banned in your ing country. god america. brick and mortar rooms will be booming. let these internet hot shots flood those rooms pleeeeeaseeee.
It's a different world playing live. Instead of feeling like you have the high score, you set a time to stop and you do. If you are up you are up, if not then it is what it is. Then you take in food and whatever else the establishment has to offer. It's not for everyone, but to me, it beats playing a bunch of screen names with not even a real deck of cards.
This man is right on.
That's why I said b&m. You can literally double your bankroll in the next few days from these "all in" hotshots. A lot of them are Asians. They call the game "all in", and they do that for a reason. Got a high pair after the flop? All in! Got an Ace rag? All in! Pick your spots and fleece these clowns.
The games are easy live - there's no doubt. Everytime I've been to my local casinos I nearly crack up. But its boring as and slow as . I was used to playing 500-700 hands online per hour. Cut that down to 30 and its SO boring. Especially when you're sitting with 8 other people and you can only stand maybe one of them at any given point.]
Playing live with people you know is fun. Playing at casinos is fun in small doses but doing it the way I played online for a living? Yeah that.
I have been telling people since 1998 your a fool if you put real money into a software or a poker online computer game where you can be playing against employees of the site or a memory chip of some sort. And I was labeled a tin foil hat conspiracy nut.
I know twice every year Manny or someone else would make a topic about how they won 800 dollars but they didn't make topics of them losing that 800 and the rest of they're collage tuition cash in the following weeks or days afterwards.
There was even a guy who had a radio show and played online with a live cam and had an open chat room where me and him had heated discussions about this very subject.
He basically told me I was full of about online poker being rigged soon afterwards it was all over the www that they busted another online poker site with cheating and how the webmaster of the site could see your cards and had friends enter the room to drain your money. They even admitted letting people win so they would bet more next time.
If you all are that into online gambling then lets play a cool game called "guess what hand it's in"...
I will put a rock in one of my hand you send me 50 dollars and guess which hand. keep in mind after you pick a hand I may switch hands behind my back.
