Yeah lots of panic. This has more to do with Tilt being careless with their money than anything.

Maybe FullTilt can tell the Gaming Commission what took then so long to pay U.S. players after their accounts were unfrozen.

Looks like it will be tricky now for players to recover any funds there - but I guess the writing was on the wall since Black Friday.
Is hard for players who havent been paid yet, but if the regulator is no longer convinced that they are running their business to the high standard they require and that players money is in danger, then they have no choice but to suspend the licence really.

Stop the games cold turkey putting the screw to many. This could actually speed up Americans getting their money.

Just read the report. Sucks for FTP. How on earth did US authorities raid Absolute Poker in Costa Rica, that part didn't make any sense.

No one will do business with them without a license. Which is why MB have already pulled out.
FTP is busto.

How do you see today's events leading to a higher probability of a US payout?
If Full Tilt stops operating, and there is no more rake coming in.... no one is getting money anywhere.

I guess I don't understand why this is such a huge deal. Online Poker seems like a shitty way to gamble.
