No matter how you slice it, it's a hell of a lot easier to get your cash where you want it to go vs. trying to get your cash from somebody overseas who is taking a serious financial hit.

I am putting a small roll onto FT until everything settles.

Doubt it. There will be legal loopholes to this bill and they could at least wait around for that if they were really interested.

I think they will buy another poker site and transfer all its players there. Crypo/prima/absolute looks like prime targets.

My name is Albert and I would like to assist you.

Thank you for your email expressing concerns about the bill which passed
in the US Congress on September 29th as an attachment to a Port Security
conference report.

Until we fully understand the bill?s ramifications, we cannot comment on
how this bill might ultimately impact the ease with which our customers
will be able to transfer funds to and from FullTiltPoker. However, you
should note that there is a 270-day period during which any new banking
regulations will get enacted. We do not expect any impact to your
playing experience before that time.

Please also note that the bill does not criminalize individuals who play
poker from their computers. Instead, the bill will eventually attempt to
prevent the transfer of funds to illegal gaming businesses. As poker is
a game of skill, we do not assume that it will be affected by this new
bill.

Full Tilt Poker is legally licensed and regulated to offer its services
to anyone around the world. Because of this, we find it impractical to
make definitive legal judgments as to the laws governing poker from
nation to nation or state to state. It is the responsibility of each
customer to determine which laws may be applicable in the location they
are playing from.

On an end note regarding checks, I'm pleased to advise that we are still
processing check requests to U.S. players.

We are always here to answer your questions and we thank you for playing
at FullTiltPoker.

Regards,

Albert
Full Tilt Poker Support

I was thinking the same thing - IE party making "Party Poker: US" as a private company party-skin while the publicly traded "party gaming" is for non-us customers.
