Good riddance.

[1p0kerboy]

Goodbye.

Highest rake on the internet.

No rakeback or promotions ever.

You will be missed.

Just cashed out $8 from a free bonus they gave me out of CON. Was going to donate my $.42 on pacific to some lucky player but $0.50 is the min buyin.

You people saying good riddance dont get it, this is bad IMO, because if it starts a trend we're all [censored].

Note how this article said PartyGaming was "still analyzing the situation" or whatever, in another article (London Times,check Legis forum) it says the same but analysts assume Party will follow suit. Too early to tell of course, but scary none the less.

I really hope this quote in the article is just a bad paraphrase:

888 ... was said to be in the process of deciding to make a clean break with the US, paying back gambling deposits paid by customers when they registered on the company's websites.

I just went to cashout from Pacific, and found out that I cannot withdraw to Neteller, because I haven't made a Neteller deposit in over a year. What kind of crap is that?

I have made dozens of Neteller withdraws and several this year, but haven't made a deposit since my first one (about 3 years ago).

Am I going to get screwed on this?

I chatted with their 24-hour support. He said everything would be fine, but he also did not know about the 888.com statement about ending business with U.S. customers.

FWIW, that, at least, is business as usual from Pacific.

Same thing happened to me a few months ago. I made a small deposit from neteller, played a little during the next week, and then cashed out to neteller with only the usual problems (3 day wait before processing plus a few more days for processing).

But, are they going to let me make a small deposit now, so that I can withdraw tomorrow?

this is more in reaction to the recent arrests than the bill that just passed.
