Well now we're in for it! They won't even allow U.S. citizens to play the freerolls now, at least on FT. Don't know what to think about it! was maintaining some sanity by being able to play a few of the BRM freerolls in FT and some of the $150 Freerolls, but now there's nothing, but chip games. U.S. Government took away one of the best things I loved to do in my past time. I work and pay taxes and have since I was a kid, now these controlling, dictating in debt, money hungry poops have actually done something to me that really strikes a nerve. I will find a job outside this country, I will investigate what it takes and I will be out of here within the next couple years if this issue isn't resolved real soon. Just had to release Mobsters! Good Luck to you All! I pray this is resolved.
Also, tried to download Bodog and I keep getting a message that the program is not Win32 compatible! Anyone have any advice or info that can help with this I would greatly appreciate it!

Next time i vote for any of them greedy terds ....Hell will be frozen over.sorry mobsters but that is how i truly feel

Yep. Merge network, Carbon Poker is the biggest room there, and Cake network are still open to players from the US. But of cause we don't know for how long.
dont know why everyone tells americians to move to europe come to canada i play poker all day Nova Scotia is the sht bomb weed good blow and a tim hortons every 2 miles what more can you ask for best part FBI cant do sht about the online gaming here. However if you play for fun and not money might be best to find a new site but if you wanna smuggle in some smokes and liquer youd be surprized the mark up you could make start a bankroll and start off a pro

That sucks big time. I understand you can't play cash games, sngs or tournaments but not even freerolls thats way too much. I don't know your current situation, i mean you live out of poker or it's just a hobby but if online poker would mean an important source of profit for your life there is just one rationl thing to do: move to europe or canada. I would personally choose europe, you never know but also canadians could learn from their south friends and also ban online gambling. United Kingdom is by far the safeest country to play online but you should also consider other countries because United Kingdom it's a very country to live in. Everything from current expenses to houses are a lot more expensive than in other parts of europe. Good luck and keep us posted.

wow they just dnt want US players to play at fulltilt, obviously all that money won by US players in freeroll is dead money and wouldn't reach the poker tables so no benefit for fulltilt. best thing for us players is to move to merge/ cake i guess

Yeah huff, this is just driving me crazy! I surely don't need poker as a source of income, but I enjoy the game as much as one can enjoy most things of the compatible level. You know I was reading on line that Obama played poker on FT. Serious! I'm trying to find this again so I can attach it to a thread. I hope this is resolved within the next 5 or 10 minutes, but I know that's a dream. lol No fricking freerolls, what the F is going on? Crazy, lame azz U.S. gov. man, I'm down on them. Good Luck to you All!

Now that there is no game going in FTP for americans are you gonna cash out your money, or you are gonna wait with the hope that everything will turn back to normal again? Honestly i seriously doubt things will change. We all know US government is not a crowd pleaser. Anything for the power and money even if that means it will "hurt" its own citizens

well, The US government is setting an example by indicting the biggest pokerrooms. This will all come good in the meantime, just be patient is my advice.
Second advice: same as Jess.
