damn a pr 5 domain, what a loss.

dont forget about the 2char UB.com

I am playing on Full Tilt now but seems Stars already stopped allowing US players.

Surprised to see this? I have seen this guy (Daniel Tzvetkoff) mentioned here on gfy, wasn't he a fraud in adult also?

Pokerstars is down for me now.... wow what a catastrophe. They should just tax the fuck out of them. I guess the govt prefer just to take as much $$ as they can all at once.

The US Gov't wants 2.5B and all the rights to FTP, PS, and AP:

holy fucking blackmail, batman.

CNN story:

This could turn ugly. Anyone knows what processors is involved with this ?

Ryan Lang, Ira Rubin, Bradley Franzen, Chad Elie and John Campos (involved with payment processors).

probably entropay, webmoney, and moneybookers

links pulled.

Maybe they ( the friends of GOV ) are pul;ling a 'napster' ....
We could see those sites operated by the Vegas / Atlantic city casino corps ...

Meanwhile, play safely on https://www.espacejeux.com/ , a quebec governmenty operated casino ( Yes, if you cannot beat them, join them ).

Now, back to our regular programming, the western `Land of the Free ' .... :1orglaugh

why do the notices on these one's look like a kid drew them in paint?

Compared to this one: http://atdhe.net/

I know, different reason etc. but is the designer off today or something?

Also, http://www.pokerstars.com/ and ub.com work for me. The others don't.

Interesting story. Comes up for me too. Wonder how that is possible if it has been seized.

why the fuck would u live in usa if u make millions running "poker sites"

some people are dumb.. if i had the kinda money they did(tens, if not hundreds of millions), id be in a nice country tucked away spending my loot...

looks bad for the processors. they built tons of fake web sites like pet stores to hide the transaction from the banks.

When is the next WSOP event on?

This changed online poker game rules forever!

the full indictment http://bit.ly/h7prWQ

Same here :thumbsup

My thoughts exactly!

The question should be:

Why the fuck would you use US banks for gambling.

FTP processed CCs under a MCC that had nothing to do with gambling.

Why .com shouldn't be controlled by the US

fulltiltpoker.com still works here, but a whois lookup does show they've been hijacked:

Unreal ... I didn't think the day would come.

I half agree with you.

The reason I wouldn't fully agree is because these companies were obiously breaking the law.

PartyPoker.com and many others are still alive and well because they follow rules or use proper practice.

When I was first starting out online I was looking into poker/gambling as a niche to look into and maybe build something in. And the first thing I noticed before any other was "Do Not Bank with the US" Simple, they always suggested using Gibraltar/Cyprus/other offshore locations.

Don't use US hosting was another one. As for using a .com domain that wasn't an issue from what I had seen. If the US had full control of the .com domains then sites like tradetang.com would be taken offline instantly (95% of the stuff sold there is illegal/copied)

Will be interesting to see what else comes up with these recent "crack downs"

ub.com has gone for me now aswell.

Don't use hosting in another country where the DC is owqned by a US company ( like: we have a DC in Amsterdam, or Canada ... but are an american company ) .

Also, try as possible to use offshore registrars ( like in France, Spain, etc... ) . Again, not an affilate , but an actual registrar like http://www.gandi.net/ ( Their catch line is " no bs " ...lol )

:1orglaugh

Yeah that was another one, avoid the US completely in regards to gambling pretty much was the general overview of all the content I read.

Funny hearing all of this when you look at Vegas :1orglaugh

Fucking government.

Fucking nanny state, corrupt government and crooked politicians.

2.5 Billion daaaamn... :helpme

only the first shoe

biggest casino heist in history

The Australian guy was arrested in August, in Vegas, September is when epass went bust. If anyone have seen the Middle Men movie that gives you something to think about....

Also if I was promoting poker I would be in total panic right now :) Glad I am not....

:Oh crap:Oh crap

I see the Democrats are hard at work trying to blackmail and tax all business on the internet. This is why I voted Republican, and Im ashamed to only have two choices :(

you (american) can join others poker site or you can't join them anymore ?

and i have some banner of italian poker site (here is legal), but my servers are in us ... it's kind a legal thing or i need to burn those banners ?

Ummm....you do know that Bush is the one that made online poker illegal, dont you?

boneprone only made himself broke from all his bad choices.

Obama hard at work... Hope & Change... What a joke...

Same old Republican blame game. Fault Obama for a Federal agency enforcing a law that was passed in 2006 during the Bush Administration.

Damn all the people in the US that been gambling and made big money or even a few grand are going to be fucked hard when they go through the data next week or two, might want to run to thailand or somewhere if you have the money.

exactly ...............................

Obama is in charge and he is enforcing it... Same old demotard "can't take responsibility" "it's the other guys fault" game....

i guess they are gonna be ALL IN prison
