I'm playing at a table right now. My amount in my account was to small to withdraw to neteller so I have to build it up higher.
What I want to know is what about our freerolls there and the contest we are running?

I wonder if they will even open the email. Nice JD.
I think Titan's new policy is to automatically delete any e-mails received from US residents. They are afraid that they might get into trouble because someone writing to them from the US would likely be a poker player. And they don't want to be associated to US poker players.

I'm sure Nick is in the process of ironing out a solution now but I plan to talk to him later about it anyway.
I'd imagine it's unfortunately a little more complex a problem than simply choosing to move events, for arious reasons.

Dear Qhr1s0,
Full Tilt Poker is here to stay!
As an online poker player, you have probably heard about the new legislation passed by the U.S. Congress earlier this week that attempts to prevent you from being able to transfer money to online gaming sites.
While this new law has prompted some sites to announce plans to abandon the U.S. market in coming days, we assure you that Full Tilt Poker will continue to provide all of its players - both inside and outside of the United States - with a full complement of real money ring games and tournaments for their enjoyment.
After consultation with numerous legal experts in this field, we want to make you aware of the following:
* Legal
The new U.S. legislation does not in any way attempt to criminalize the act of you playing online poker. By playing online at Full Tilt Poker, you are not breaking any U.S. Federal laws.
* Full Access
The passage of the new Internet Gaming law will not have any impact... | | Read Entire Entry |

This is great. I've never played there, but I'll happily give my business to them. Their stance is exactly why I will play at sites like them and will NEVER (or never again) play at any site that has currently turned their back on US players.

Yes well done to Full Tilt ( for now ) I hope you had the foresight to wine and dine these guys so as to let all our CC games go ahead there before the stampede from other Forums etc overwhelm them.
At least these guys are holding firm, hats off.

Woohoo. Full tilt are in an absolutely perfect position to takeover the top spot in the online poker industry, and I couldn't think of anyone better to do the job.

As we are sure you are all aware, the U.S. Congress recently passed new legislation that may eventually have a significant impact on the online poker industry.
While the intent of this new legislation is to eventually prevent the transfer of funds from U.S. banks to online gaming sites, we assure you that there will be no short-term impact on our business. In fact, unlike many of our competitors, we have no intention of abandoning our U.S. customers. We plan to continue our normal operations while the regulators, the banking industry and, ery likely, the judicial system hammer out all of the details regarding this legislation.
Most importantly, we want you to know that all monies entrusted to Full Tilt Poker from our customers remain completely safe and secure, and that all players and affili... | | Read Entire Entry |
