Im not too happy about this myself....have about 4k tied up and can't withdraw on PS or Tilt.. Figured this was gonna happen someday....just thought the poker community woulda saw it coming. Online poker isn't illegal in no means...but the government put restrictions on the banks for funding online gambling. What they are being charged with is bank fraud/money laundering due to finding ways to charge the banks with faux company alias for the deposit through checking accounts. (instant e checks) DOJ has known this has been going on and has been collecting info on this to bring the system down. My complaint is these jackazz 's for the DOJ coulda just regualted online poker years ago when they set the restrictions but they have to be a bully! So now they're screwing everyone who has money on these sites (100 mill+ in the US alone).....and taking down some great sites b/c they had to be *****s and not handle it right the first time around. I've met some great guys from playing online poker from all over the world. It's sad that this has happened. I hope this gets taken care of ASAP and the PPA (poker players alliance) comes on super strong right away!
