Port Bill, Financial Woes, and possible solution
Hello all...
I have a question... I've lost massive amounts of money, which I should not have gambled with in the first place, to online poker. I am a US Citizen. I have used my US Debit card, associated with a US financial institution, for a direct withdrawal from pokerstars, full tilt, absolute, party, etc., within the past couple of weeks. Some of these transactions have not posted yet. Will I be able to tell the bank to stop payment on them and not have to suffer legal troubles? I mean, it is technically illegal for my bank to send the money direct from my account, no? Let me know... I'm down and out and don't plan on gambling again...ever. Best, "BROKE" |

I do not understand what you are asking. Are you saying you have authorized deposits at these sites which have not posted and you want to stop payment on them?

Egon,I speak gibberish(lol), and from what I can gather is that he/she has made some deposits into some sites and these deposits will take time to clear and has realized that the money is needed elswhere and wants to know if these pending transactions can be cancelled, but then again my gibberish is abit rusty....lol

What is this? The new nigerian prince scam? How many of these posts have we recieved lately from these "losers"? Makes me wonder if these are legit. For over a year we get nothing on this matter and now in a matter of a month we have , what, 4 or 5 of these threads? Call me cynical but it looks like someone is trying to scam.

Does your skill in gibberish allow you to tell us whether he has already lost this money ?
If not, he can just withdraw it from the poker rooms again. If so, then he is asking for help to welch on his debts and needs a slap. |

2) Transactions between US banks and online poker sites will not be illegal until 270 days from the UIGA's signing (I forgot that exact date). 3) Though it can be debated, most of us here don't consider poker to be "gambling" since "skill" has a greater effect in the long run. Good luck in getting some help for your dilemma. |

InDebtBigTime sounds like one of those scam emails I receive saying, "You have just won the British Lottery. We just need $3000 to cover expenses and taxes and then we will be able to release you $50m prize. Would you like it in gold bullion or $USD?"
And then he waits 1/2 hour before posting again. I call BS on this post. |
