If they do let us know ahead of time, make sure to use your player points for something. $50+5 SNG ticket is 3,000 points and a $100+8 SNG ticket is 5,500. Screw buying another bonus from this place.

At pokerroom the ban is effective immediatly. From the legislation forum, ericicecream said:

I spoke earnestly with support. He told me that in theory the ban is effective immediately. Their system is going through players one by one and will take away real money priveleges from all u.s. customers but it may take hours/days to complete this process.

I've elected to abandon my bonuses and cash out.

Looks like we're all booted in the next few hours.

I suspect, since this is coming from the network and not the skins, that this goes for hollywood too, no matter what they intended to do.

The support guy on HP just made some cryptic comments in the chat window implying they would be moving to a new network within 30 days.

I don't think anyone really knows what is going on right now.

Go to your My Account page. If I rememember correct, it's on the Tickets and Bonuses tab of that page. Lots of different options to choose from as far as tournaments. If they plan on taking our bonuses by locking our accounts (which they haven't yet as far as I know ... was just playing a few minutes ago), then we might as well use these for the chance at some cash.

I went there, and saw "Silverroom ticket vendor", but there were no regular tourney tickets, just for things like their ONPC megatourney, which seems pointless to pursue. Perhaps you had Goldroom ticket vendor. Is that it?
