How hard is it to change your address to some other country on Party? Do you have to provide proof of residence? Or are they going to just not accept play from computers with IP addresses from the US? Isn't there a way to work around both of those?

I don't even play Party but I'm curious.

PartyGaming said in a statement, "If the President signs the act into law, the company will suspend all real money gaming business with U.S. residents."

I just wish we could get a statement from Party clarifying this: the day the President signs, no further transactions (cashouts)? Or after he signs they'll announce when the ban on US players will go into effect?

I want to play on there as long as possible but don't want my monies confiscated.

Exactly, and I sure as [censored] don't trust Party to make this clearer. I feel bad for the thousands of players who aren't as up to date on this as we are.

I would get my money out of Party ASAP. However, it is very unlikely they will confiscate the money. That would kill their nonUS business and maybe subject them to criminal penalties. Dutch Boyd did it, but I don't think anyone else will have the nerve to try it.

Looks like it's time for me to get my last $30 out of Party.
