Can somebody from the US please access the Full Tilt, UB.com and Absolute Poker websites and let me know what it says. They all appear to be up and normal for me (UK) but it would be useful to know what stage this seizure of the websites by the FBI is at. Thanks. blue EDIT: Ok so now Absolute and UB.com is down and this is what you will see:  |

Amazingly the pic has now popped up in your post.
This is terrible news for US players. I've been trolling around the net and notice that thousands are looking into the "news" sections to find a proper statement from the poker sites but there doesn't appear to be anything as yet.
Pokerstars has now gone too and is displaying the same picture.

It sucks big time Rosebud. Blue,,when we say this is only for US and is this mean, every other players from different countries can still play at those sites?
Well I did log in and games were still running but the site lost 30,000 players from when I first looked to when I logged in, which was probably only about a 15 minute gap. If a US player is involved in a game, they can finish that game but then they won't be able to play again once they "stand up" from that game. The ban "should be restricted to" only US players. If they are in a ring game, they can play there until they leave the table. New players cannot register whilst the site has been seized though. blue |

Wow, I just finished playing at 2 different tournys at Absolute.  I hadn't been to any of the boards yet to see all this news. I logged into Absolute at 8:45p EDT, deposited via QuickTender, entered one tourny, then entered another one at 10:40p. Couldn't catch any flops at either game, so I was out early. I did notice several other US players the tournys, tho....... |

Wow that's some crazy shit! I've been wondering all day why i could register for tourneys (at Poker Stars) but then a pop-up would say " sorry you're not allowed to register blah blah blah bc you're from a restricted country" ? SO i uninstalled and now am in the process of re-installing. But might as well cancel that! Blue i never did see a sign, like that one.... I've been playing a Full Tilt all day without any problems tho !? Thanks for the info tho Blue.
