Slightly encouraged by FT\'s efforts
First thing is this - I haven't been playing NEARLY as much. Every time I win a big pot, I think, I wonder if I'll ever see this money, and that's not the thought that online poker sites want me thinking if they have any business sense whatsoever.
Main point: FT at least is taking steps to fight the powers that be, which would hopefully result in a written exemption from the regulations that are killing us right now. (I saw only one other post about the exact nature of the steps they took and it appeared to be locked, so I won't mention them). Anyway, I just wanted to say that I'm at least a little encouraged at the semi clever way FT is scrounging up funds to fight the government on this one, however slim you may think the chances are.

Re: Slightly encouraged by FT\'s efforts
The PPA is not your friend. A carveout for poker is not in our longterm interests.
It acknowledges that the federal government has the right to regulate activity on the internet, it undercuts any site that has a casino/sportsbook connection, and it does nothing to solve or stop the attack on payment processors. Just because someone says they're your friend, doesn't make it so. The PPA and now FT are not fighting the Feds. They are helping them criminilize online gambling, and begging for scraps off the table.

Re: Slightly encouraged by FT\'s efforts
you people are all losing your minds. first off FTP is here to stay. Wll they fix there problems? YES! Will you recieve you checks? YES! IS it good that it is taking this long to get our money? NO!! IS it hurting their business? YES!! DO they want to lose millions of dollars in rake? NO!! Come on NOW, they are obviously here to stay. They are completely wrong with the check issue but I give them about 2 weeks to find a new processor. After that they are basically going to lose majority of their business. They got a bad processor and need a new one that can handle the volume they have.....
