Are you guys withdrawing all your money?

[aditya]

I want to know how many people are withdrawing all their money from poker sites. It seems like it would be stupid to take it off as it would be really hard to fund it and you would have to wait for another e-walled to come up.

I am not taking my money off of Stars and FTP ... I'm just doing my best to get my money off of NETeller.

[JayA]

Can you deposit/withdraw to FTP using a check card?

[N 82 50 24]

Not a US-based bank check card. If you have a European bank account and debit card you should be able to.

[relayerdave]

Has anyone else noticed that the pros have essentially disappeared from FTP?

That seems ominous to me....

[lol_variance]

Interesting developement, there are no pro's online according to pokersitescout.

you shouldn't even really be trying to get money off of neteller. If you have money in neteller the best thing to do right now is probably to leave it in there until their problems with withdrawing clear up... just read the forums and you will see that many people are going through grief because they made an EFT withdrawal just before or during this stupid fiasco and now their money is no longer in Neteller NOR their banks, even though it shows as cleared in their Neteller accounts. Various people have said CS reps told them it could take 2 weeks to process their withdrawals because of their 3rd party processors not doing business with them at the moment, so just wait it out until they get their current mess sorted so that you can SAFELY take your money out later.

I'm referring mainly to debit card stuff. I am maximizing my debit card ability.

But you're right, I am waiting for two EFTs -- one was requesting in the normal course of business prior to the announcement and is still pending and one was requested after the announcement when the first one said "accepted" -- the first one has since reverted to "pending".

And I wouldn't even considering asking for a check that might take two months to get here and have my funds be locked up in that system forever.

I also noticed this, I'm sure they were told by FTP to stay off the site since they are using their real names just to be safe. I've only seen magicpitch sitting at the highest tables by himself probably just waiting for action from aba or other non FTP pros since I'm sure the Ftp pros have already informed him that they would not be playing on the site in the immediate future.

Just cooky speculation of course but there has always been super high stakes action even during big events such as aruba etc. I dont see any other reason for them dissapearing all at once.

[chopper5654]

as for withdrawing your money, i think it is a bit panicky. do you sell stock as the market crashes, or buy and hold? maybe not the exact same thing, but the lesson to be learned is dont panic immediately.

sit tight. the only people this affects (right now) are those trying to get their "friday paychecks" into a site...tonight. if you have money at a site, just play as normal.

this will affect "reload bonuses," new and existing fishies/donkies, and withdrawals for those of you who use your winnings to buy groceries, etc. and for "pros," my condolences.

recreationals...dont freak out...YET. but keep your ears open because the sky may fall soon.

Meh, Mike Matusow, John Juanda and Stuart Paterson are all playing 500/1000 O/8 right now.

[Burnsabre]

I got $200 bucks in my bank account that I can get cash right now and $24,000 in poker/neteller uncashable stuff... I think I might have to go into top ramen and rice mode for awhile.... sucks.

[adanthar]

basic reason the pros are absent: they're probably locked out of their rolls, too. people always go busto on the site and ask for loans anyway, so how many of them are 100K short right now? probably a lot.

if they were going to pull out of FT, they'd have done it months ago. this week changes absolutely nothing.

There are good days and bad days. No monies for a bottom woman atm, which is good, because Id much prefer the kind of girl who would be up for chicken with top ramen , and intead of complaining, Id fall in love with her if should would say something like "hey why not add a little cummin (the spice ladies and gentlemen...and no, not that spice, the real spice) to that."

btw, the girl Im referring to would be about 140 or less, not fat, because I dont see a lot of decent looking girls who like top ramen, and shed have a good personality. looks kind of matter, personality obviously outweighs a lot...wait [censored] it, Im lying...shed have to not be fat. I cant do fat. okay that sounds retarded, true, but still retarded. Id just hope to find a girl that would shock me, but not shock me by being a mountain.

I took it all out the day after the new US law passed. It was all in Party.

I'm waiting for the law to change. I understand that playing isn't illegal, and that the regs are still to be defined, and plenty of people are still playing. But I plan to wait. I hope it changes soon, I don't like driving to the local casino 3 times a month to play less hands at higher limits late at night when I could be home, safe, in my undies, 4-tabling every night at lower limits and grinding out a nice bit of money as a hobby.

[Augie]

Absolutely not withdrawing any money (I play almost exclusively at Stars for the moment).

In fact, I am doing everything I can to get more money into my account.

Be good,

Augie

[LasVegasMichael]

I withdrew it all from Stars just to get it over with. I never played online seriously anyway, so it is not a big loss (live player here).

[timmer]

100%

actually all but a token amount at fulltilt and planet poker
