US players definitely did.....

So US players knew beforehand that they were shutting down?

Nope. But they could access their cashier a long period of time after they could not play anymore. Simply they could log in but not play.

I did...

In fact I have several of my account being updated with Rakeback and the take 2 promo, all after they were shut down to the US players.

I think the point was that if for some reason you didn't think your account balance was right when the site came back up, having a screenshot of your cashier window wouldn't do you much good in the dispute resolution process because images can be doctored so easily.

That being the case, what's the point of having the screenshots other than for your own information so you know how much was in your bankroll? Personally I don't need a screenshot to find out exactly how much I had.

Quadjacks is reporting on it live now ... been on the air for 14 hours at this point. As I type this its 15 minutes before the hearing is scheduled to start.

:/ Hearing expected to continue as late as September 15th.

Some people saying this may be a good thing.. allows more time for investors to decide to invest.

We weren't so lucky - we went to log in, and couldn't

Some people look for a positive spin when things are not going well. The longer this goes on the more people that were "on the fence" with FT will "abandon ship".

I would say this was a good thing for two groups in particular... FT lawyers and PS owners.

This is my opinion too. If this goes on FT will have a hard time to rehab in the eyes of players.
Still. When everything ends and they will get their licence again, with a agressive marketing campaign and good promotions they might turn out OK. I mean to atract ppl they have to make the best offer on the market like better bonuses or better point system to attract fish to deposit and eventually loose their money again . All they need is money witch other sites cannot afford yet. Their only real competition is PS no matter what will happen. The rest of the sites do not count in this fight.

I think its about 55% chance of being delayed and it will be rescheduled for Aug 16.

According to Gambling911 and Cardplayer, looks like it got delayed to September 15 (at the latest).

I really wasn't expecting much from the hearing itself. Was hoping it would lead to more info about the sale tho. Here is hoping some news comes out in the coming days.

#157 27th July 2011, 1:24 AM
