Well, I got what I had requested... $1900 from PartyPoker... and in only one day too... now I'm just waiting on $150 from Ultimate Bet to go to Neteller.

You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums?

Because of this new ban? Party or the other gaming sites cant just not pay whats in your account because of this tho. I hope?

Well, of course they "can't not" pay... then again though, they are an offshore bank account are they not? I'd heard horror stories about disreputable offshore accounts that were sports books... they hadn't paid out at all. Besides, if they did decide to not pay out, then what can I do to get my money back? Just an obnoxiously safe and precautionary move on my part.
$1900 is a goodly chunk of money to me.

Of all the sites out there, Party is one that I wouldn't think would just keep your money since they are a publicly traded company and are subject to more regulation than most poker sites.

But still, I know I'd sleep better having it on my hip than in their account.
Any plans to redeposit elsewhere Sal?

All my money is now safely in my bank account, and I probably will not make another deposit until after the election when I can see how all of this pans out.
In the meantime, I plan to hit up the casinos frequently. At least I still have that option open to me, and I'm no longer dependent on the micro stakes... my sincere condolences to everyone who is. This legislation sucks ass.

This is proboly a common question but does that say for instance, if I continue playing Poker Stars or Party Poker when the legislation is in effect, I can't put money in or take it out? Does that mean I should just cash out?

From what we know, Party is closing money games to US players, but Stars has yet to do so. You will not be able to make a deposit to or from either with your bank account, but Neteller is still OK.
Pull your money out of Party because it will be useless.
Stars is ok if you plan to do everything through Neteller, although I still want to wait and see.

Wow, 50% of Party's player base is from countries other than usa, would they just steal everyone's bankroll and scare away the non american players as well? Also they're a publicly traded company, I really don't see how anyone can worry about the money they have in their accounts.

I'm not sure yet.... which cardrooms are active and willing to continue to be active that you'd recommend?

I left $50 in Doyles Room. They had a statement when you sign in saying business as usual till they know for certain what the outcome is going to be from all this BS.

Come live in England (all those of you that are worthy) and you can play on safely

This isn't about Party "stealing" your money, but rather difficulties in getting your money back thru financial institutions.
Altho I imagine sites which do block US players will follow Crypto's example and mail you a cheque, so make sure your contact details are up to date.
I'm obv. not gonna recommend any site, because I don't want you coming after me when it all goes sour 
But, here's a list of responses from various sites:
PartyPoker: Will suspend U.S. Operations if bill is signed by President Bush

I can't believe this actually went through. The "land of the free" indeed.
Just wanted to wish all the American players good luck, but this is what you get for electing an idiot like Bush.
Hopefully this will all blow over and we can get back to doing what we love. And playing poker

It's got nothing to do with Bush, at all.

I think we tried that once and it just didn't work out.
and btw, I don't think Bush had anything to do with this. It certainly wasn't part of any adminstration agenda. As usual with this bunch, they have smaller fish to fry.

Indeed ... seems we still have some smarter people than over in Britain considering that Congress makes laws and not Bush
hmmm

I think what Barney means is Bush will sign this bill into law with it being tacked onto a security bill.
I am grinding it out this morning to try to get about $10 more into my account at Doyle's, then to be safe I will pull the rest of my money out and leave the $10. That way if the site does close to Americans I am only out $10 is they decide not to give me back my money. Even though I don't see Doyle's doing anything like this.
I do have to burn off about 40,000 action points so it looks like I will be playing freerolls for some time. Hopefully I can burn most of these off this weekend.
