[ QUOTE ] holy crap i hope that is just a one-time glitch or the world really is going to end. [ QUOTE ] Stars is screwing around with my cashout. I just tried to cash out about $1100 out of Stars and I got this email message: Quote: Cashout request time: 2006/10/02 03:12:53 Cashout amount: $0.00 Your PokerStars Account Information: Name: XXXXXXXXXXX Email: XXXXXXXXXXXXXX User ID: iron81 If you have any further questions regarding this transaction, please contact [email protected]<br /> <hr /></blockquote><font class="post"> The client also does not reflect the cashout in my transactions history. [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] We're not screwing with your cashout. This is the result of a NETeller glitch. Our Payments department will be dealing with the problematic cashouts when NETeller comes back up. This is quite normal. [/ QUOTE ] Hi, Mr. PokerStars. Are you guys pulling out of the US or not?

Re: PokerStars expected to pull out as well
I think someone posted this before-- but this was the e-mail i got from them a few minutes ago. Translation- they aren't tipping their hand yet.
"We appreciate and share your concerns about the bill which passed in the US Congress today regarding the funding of internet gaming, as an attachment to a Port Security bill. PokerStars' management and legal team are examining the bill at this time. Until we understand the potential impact of the bill, we cannot comment on how it will impact our players or PokerStars. Please note that the bill includes a 270-day window for enforcement procedures to be established, so we do not expect to see any immediate changes in the ability to transfer funds to and from PokerStars. Also please remember that your money is safe on PokerStars. All player funds are in a segregated account at the Royal Bank of Scotland. As always, we thank you for playing on PokerStars."

Re: PokerStars expected to pull out as well
Tank you 50sQuiff for your response. I'm worrying a little less now.
All, I know there are a lot of scared people on this forum right now, and I apologize for contributing to it. I ask that you all remain calm on these forums. While I'm not a Legislation mod, I'm going to be monitoring them until one of the Legislation forum mods wakes up.

Sent this e-mail to support:
This article speculates that PokerStars will be moving out of the U.S. market in reaction to recent U.S. legislation. I was told by Stars two days before legislation passed that this bill had little chance of passing according to its experts. When the bill passed, I received little answers. As a loyal Stars customer for 4 years, I want an answer right now. Is this >report true? Keep in mind that if get some standard company line or an outright lie, the truth will be known soon, and I have no problems turning my back and 1) never playing on PokerStars again if circumstances change and 2) spreading the word about Stars lies. Mike ...and got the standard response they've been giving the past couple of days. Here's hoping they don't roll over so I have to do some smear campaigning.

Re: PokerStars expected to pull out as well
What the hell good does any of this do? Just take your money out, and if they keep going, you can redposit.
