Ever since the seizure of funds, has anyone stopped playing online?

burntoutfool · Jul 20, 2009

Just wondering really. I pulled all my cash from my online account.. I'm a bit worried about the recent seizings. Anyone else slow down or quit? lol, and sure some of you have never even heard of the seizures before this. If not you may want to look into it -40million in cash was pulled by the feds. Can search google news for it. Just wondering, really. Your input would be valued.

Yeah most ppl have heard of this an all the news on the subject that i have heard ,the poker sites ate the money.There not after you there tring to put the presure on the sites.An if they keep losing millons of dollars it might work,note party poker an alot just quit letting US players play on there sites because they were worried about this.

P.S. I think there already was a thread about this subect on CC

That's why I only play at the big two, FTP and Stars. No worries about them going belly-up any time soon.

HHEELL NNNOOOO I haven't stopped, and I never will. Even though I haven't deposited anything lately ( no bankroll to save with kid due soon) What the gov. tried to do is complete bullshit and will be considered unconstitutional if ever really challenged in court. So F_CK them, I'm playing lol

Have not stopped or quit yet. Can't say that I'm not a little concerned though..

LarryT503 · Jul 20, 2009

Haven't even worried about it. I've got next to nothing on my account. However, should my bankroll get real big I will withdraw some. (Pipe dreams.)

ChurchSkiz · Jul 20, 2009

no i'm doing the opposite, trying to keep all my money in my account before I don't have a chance to deposit ever again....

luckytvguy · Jul 20, 2009

some people discussed this subject before,and check the onlin player numbers of some big poker rooms.and the conclusion is there is not obvious reduction.

I'm also keeping my small amount of $$ online and I'm very "bankroll management" AWARE! I don't want to deposit or withdrawn just play

e-check

Yes before I heard about the freezing of the accounts,,, I tried to make a deposit at PS and of course the e-check wouldn't go through. It does worry me that our Goverment keeps getting involed in our Rights of choice to how I choose to spend or invest my money.
Take care

My bankroll if from freerolls anyway, never planning to put any money in. Only planed to win!

Is this something in America? Would somebody in Canada be more safe from such a thing happening?

konawajim · Jul 27, 2009

Nope hasn't mattered

spadedchef · Jul 27, 2009

nope have not stopped playing but i do not plan to deposit till i build a BR big enough till i can withdraw a nice chunk

suit2please · Jul 27, 2009

This hasn't stopped me from playing, but I don't deposit anyway all of my BRs were created from freerolls. I believe it was payment processors accounts which were frozen, not actual poker site accounts. These were frozen because of the poker sites the payment processors were connected to. Im sure a bunch of the money that was frozen wasn't even related to poker, but would guess the majority was.

It mainly only affects US players, but if your site has funds in American institutions it can affect anyone. Hopefully they will take this matter seriously in Congress, but Im pretty sure they aren't even touching it before they take their "vacation".

Support the PPA, no matter where you are from. I don't care if you don't think anything can come from it, doing nothing will never get anything done at all.
