Official OnGame pulling out...

Okay, so lifted from the Poker Room thread, according to this post, OnGame will be pulling out of the US market. What I don't understand is whether or not OnGame will be operable in the meantime. Anyone having trouble logging on?

Crud. There goes the best bonus whoring on the net. Hated the software, loved the bonuses....

Any updates on when US players will be blocked? The release contradicts itself.

I am on PR in US right now.

I've got $550 in bonus money waiting there and it will take me a week to clear. Would suck if I don't get the chance.

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.

I know I am in the minority on this, but the ongame/pokernetwork style software is why I play on pr, hollywood, fcp and others. I hope that their are sites that I can play on that use this software, if it gets purchased or other sites get involved and somehow use this style of poker program when the bwin sites shut out the us players.

I hope that I can find the site like the bwin/ongame/pokernetwork software. or hope somehow it comes about.

Pokerroom support and tech's take forever to fix the glitchesd inheirant to their systems. HP, PR, and FULL CONTACT POKER have stopped taking deposits from US customers. As soon as they can augment their software, they will shut out the US customer. The guesses I have seen is Monday.

I still prefer the layout, using the F1 keys and the crispness of the flop turn river and pot displays better than the generic style of the more popular sites. THis is why I prefer it.
