Full tilt has its site domain back, but I still cannot withdraw money. What gives?

They haven't worked out an arrangement yet for transferring payment (I assume) since that's the part of this that was breaking the UIGEA law. They only have implemented getting the web domains part of the agreement.

Here is the full DOJ agreement with Full Tilt: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&...E5YjYtMjZkODVhYjdiYTc0&authkey=CKye9scD&hl=en

Thank you for the link. Looks like U.S. players will at least be able to try to get their money back. The agreement expressly permits FTP account withdraws by U.S. players. Of course, when the flood gates are opened it will be like a run on the bank. Some will get their money, others might not.

I'd think this agreement and the chance that the sites might still withold layer money gives Full Tilt and PokerStars tremendous leverage with the U.S. gov to broker a deal.

Too bad the US attorney responsible for this agreement didn't realize they themselves are blocking the return of our funds. Guess they weren't at the top of their class.
