Lunchtime twittering lead me to a story in Las Vegas Review-Journal about PokerStars allowing American poker players to request payments.
I logged into PokerStars to see if the Cash Out processes were available. As soon as I hit the Cashier button, a JavaScript message jumped up at me telling me that I had to Cash Out. I clicked OK. Then a screen displayed with 3 choices; by Wire, Direct Transfer to Bank, Check. I chose direct transfer. It said 72 hours.
I wasn’t really worried about my money…less than one hundred online… just curious to see if there was anything “new” to the cash out process. <– Not to my eyes.
The article goes on to report that Full Tilt hasn’t announced when it will allow/force the cash outs, and Absolute Poker still has not reached an agreement with the Feds.
Now is a good time to let your legislators know how you feel about not being able to play poker online….Poker Players Alliance Makes Voicing Your Opinion Easy
