Titan news straight from the horses mouth

#1 03-10-2006, 8:40 PM

Bad news unfortunately

"Looks like Playtech will be pulling out of the US market as well."

#2 03-10-2006, 9:08 PM

I just talked to the support and they told me no decision was made on their part yet. Would I be wise to pull my money out of there?

#3 03-10-2006, 9:17 PM

No, don't make any hasty decisions yet. Let them formally announce it and give you a timeline. In theory all sites should still be playable/accessable for 270 days but just wait and see.

Nobody is going to steal your money, trust me on that.

As for me i will keep playing with the money i still have there until it runs dry. Including Nightly Series winnings if i they are going to pay it out?

So, i wonder if there will be any poker sites left with the jewels to allow the american player access to play poker? It is looking like every site is gonna cave in to the bush administration. Sad very sad.

at pokerstars, they use western union money transfer. As western union is not a bank, american players can still wire transfer the funds to the sites that support western union money transfers.
When I use Western Union, my funds are transfered to whom I believe is a third party poker with no mention of the site whatsoever, I've been using it for the past 6mos with no problems, so therefore if your site has a wire transfer option, then I suggest you use it if you can.
BTW, I haven't gotten around to reading any of the articles yet, so I don't know if wire tranfer is mentioned.
Just something to think about for my American friends.

The above is a cut and paste from another thread.

They're still 'considering the situation', take that as you will.

CRAP!!!! I just got an email 5 minutes ago from Poker Ocean..."My account with them is now closed"....

........My greatest fear in all this was losing the ipoker sites (Titan,PO,CD,Fair) They are my bread and butter,my FAVORITE sites...This is sooo bad for me!

JUST RECEIVED EMAIL FROM TITAN__THEY ARE PULLING OUT OF U.S. and closing U.S. accounts What a bummer

#11 05-10-2006, 8:48 PM

Hmmmm, I wonder how they will get hold of a lot of players there. If you look under thier avatars it says where they are from . I've seen some very strange places there.
I, for one, am from the Isle de Lesbos. Definatly not the US.

OMG, that is quite possibly the funniest thing I have ever read!!

And are you sure it was horses mouth and not a donkeys? In my opinion, with the recent happenings over there at titan, straight from the ass's mouth seems more approriate.
