Archief - PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker en Absolute Poker aangeklaagd in Verenigde Staten
Het archief is een bevroren moment uit een vorige versie van dit forum, met andere regels en andere bazen. Deze posts weerspiegelen op geen enkele manier onze huidige ideeën, waarden of wereldbeelden en zijn op sommige plaatsen gecensureerd wegens ontoelaatbaar. Veel zijn in een andere tijdsgeest gemaakt, al dan niet ironisch - zoals in het ironische subforum Off-Topic - en zouden op dit moment niet meer gepost (mogen) worden. Toch bieden we dit archief nog graag aan als informatiedatabank en naslagwerk. Lees er hier meer over of start een gesprek met anderen.

Fair deal imo
Als ik moest kiezen tussen 60k in de hand of 300k op een US UB-account, gimme the 60k tbh
Er is totaal geen info vanuit UB gekomen, en de enige informatie die leaked is degene die wijst op het ergste... ik zou niet kopen op 3c/1$ atm tbh... 2c mss, 1c prolly
I mean... ze hebben bankruptcy aangevraagd, rumors zijn dat het staff>employees>affiliates>players is in terms of money first. Niets lijkt er op te wijzen dat ze nog maar plannen hebben om het geld ooit naar US players te krijgen.

Bwin is wegens het samengaan met party in Gibraltar atm. Daarvoor waren ze via ongame en dus Kahnawake.
Voor alle sites:
Who Regulates Online Poker?
edit: Wiki zegt dat bwin in Gibraltar zat. Either way, ze zijn al sinds 2001 uit oostenrijk. Toen hadden ze nog geen poker.

Persbericht van Blanca games:
As previously stated, Absolute Poker and UB ceased their U.S.-facing operations due to recent legal developments in the United States. The company is currently restructuring and is focusing its resources on consolidating its non-U.S., rest-of-the-world operation and software business. In order to have a more efficient and successful future business, an immediate need to downsize and streamline operations significantly at both online poker rooms has been required. Absolute Poker and UB continue to operate their non-U.S.-facing business.
This decision comes after considerable review and analysis of the impact that ‘Black Friday’ has had on the business as a whole. The workforce has been liquidated, and the process of rehiring approximately 20% of staff in key positions has commenced. All affected employees have been informed of this necessary restructure.
A company spokesperson said: ”We regret that we have been compelled to take these actions. We have worked tirelessly to create a truly amazing company that is filled with extraordinary people. We have always been and still remain fully committed to our employees and players. At the same time, we are confident that this restructuring will strengthen the company and its future.”
The Company spokesperson also addressed erroneous reports that Blanca has filed for bankruptcy. The apparent confusion over this issue stems from the fact that Blanca recently informed a debt holder, Madeira Fjord, that it was terminating debt payments to, and its relationship with them. As a result, Madeira Fjord apparently filed a notice of bankruptcy in Norway. This notice has no negative impact upon Blanca, the operating company, or its brands. As stated previously, Absolute Poker and UB continue to operate their non-U.S. facing business around the world.
For non-U.S. players, Absolute Poker and UB have increased their maximum withdrawal limits to $1000 for Visa withdrawals and $500 for all other methods. The number of transactions being processed per day has been significantly increased as well. Players are still restricted to one transaction per week, but we are working to return non-U.S. withdrawals to
normal service levels as quickly as possible.
As confirmed earlier this week, the company’s legal counsel is in continuing discussions this week with the U.S. Attorney’s office to formalize an agreement that would facilitate the return of funds to U.S. players.

slecht management, aansleep van de boetes voor het cheatschandaal, rumors zijn dat ze 30c/1$ in "process fees" betaalden om Amerikanen te kunnen laten depositen/wthdrawen (aka UIGEA-dodging), server en licentie kosten, affiliate kosten, etc.
Ze zaten al in slechte papieren pre black friday. Als ze dan nog eens 80% ofzo van hun traffic verliezen...

GaMe® zei:FTP is echt wel traag met bank transfers.
21-04 request
22-04 approved
04-05 nog altijd niets
Bank transfers van Moneybookers funds naar mijn rekening duurt nooit langer dan 4 (werk)dagen dat het effectief op mijn rekening staat. De dag van de withdrawal zelf wordt die overschrijving vanuit het buitenland al uitgevoerd.
Ik weet dat ik eigenlijk niet moet zagen want ze zeggen zelf dat het 10-15 werkdagen kan duren, maar toch, als Moneybookers zo snel transfers doet, moet FT dat ook kunnen imo
Vandaag 09-05 aangekomen. fyi
