money from sites that dont allow US players anymore

[colquhounx]

I have been offline for over a year now due to computer problems. I went on some sites that I had money on and found a zero balance. Did the US make them zero them out?

More details if you want help here. Like what poker sites.

I just reinstalled Full Tilt Poker since it came back up, even though I know US players can't play real money games on there anymore, but figured I would just have it on my comp, just in case we will again some day. And the $150 I had there is all gone. There's nothing on my account but 572.80 FTP points, and 1 Weekly Freeroll Ticket that I won a long time ago.

I didn't even realize I could open the FTP client. After reading this thread, I tried, and sure enough - it opened. Like Mortis, my balance shows as $0.00, but my Full Tilt Points are there. I recall that before they shut the site down entirely, they converted by tournament tickets to cash. I took a screen shot of my balance some time after Black Friday so I would have some evidence of my balance.

The other thing I noticed is there is a logo at the bottom of the cashier page saying "Your funds are safe with Rational Group".

I hope so.

Just opened a game (that I couldn't play) and saw a player that I had notes on - notes were still there.

I'm waxing nostalgic....

US player FTP $$s are now in the hands of the US government. Supposedly they are working on the remission process you will have to go through to get your $$s. You will NOT get your $$s directly from FTP.

As for the OP, I have no idea about Iron Duke but I do know that their funds were not seized by the US govt.

Oh that's right...we'll get our money from whatever third-party provider the US Gov't hires. If I recall, they were going to decide on a provider this month.

Some day....

I would be staying away from them, i can't find their terms.
Check the pop out cashier in the poker client.

I am pretty sure I read that IronDuke had closed but PokerHost is still operating. (they are two of the Merge network poker sites as far as I know)

OP As for Pokerhost, here is one of the terms that may say way you have $.0.00 in your account. Oh and they still are taking US players.http://www.pokerhost.com/aboutus/termsandconditions

http://www.ironduke.eu/ It looks like a 5 year old did up the site, and still shows it's part of Merge yet.
