can you log in if you havent got an american IP?
If so, just give your details to a trusted european who can logon then chip dump. A bit farfetched I know, but if you've got a lot of $$$ it might be worth a short.

this will not work out if your account is verified by full tilt they know where you are at and full tilt themselves are not allowing anymore play from the united states

I think you will struggle on most parts.

It isn't a case of just having a different IP address or proxy server. They (PS + FT) are now obiding by government rules, therefore anyone registered with an account as a U.S citizen is going to struggle to play.

I don't think so. I'm sure FT + PS have actually locked (the new update) the ability for players who are U.S citizens to enter any sort of real money play even if they play from a different country.

I guess the only way now is by moving to a different country to play or getting someone you know in a European country to set up an account for you but that's just to risky.

This may work if you sign up with a new account. But if I want to play or withdraw my money, my account info still says US. I'm not comfortable with chip dumping.

Dishonesty doesn't Work

Ok we all know we can't play at the 2 main sites, we get this, so turn one of the other sites into a winner, writing letters is great but PPA has yet to convinced our congressman that poker should not be regulated, so move on make carbon poker or another site we can still play at popular let them see that we will continue to do what we want with our money and that if they want to help then go start working on the gas prices. They are so worried that poker is corrupting us but if I could afford to drive my car maybe I wouldn't spend so much time playing poker online I would go to a casino more often.

It will also be a problem when you win some money and need to send in ID with your name/address/etc based in a foreign country

Also, most of these proxies are easily detectible as such.

Using anonymous proxies you do not have a secure one to one connection with the trusted host.

In other words your login details and even your hole cards could be intercepted.

I'd be very worried about sending my sensitive data (passwords, personal info, etc) through these kind of sites. Just my 2 cents.

There's other sites that still accept Americans: The Merge network (Carbon + other skins), bodog, Cake network, WPEX (65% rakeback for all, no referrals/codes needed)...

Traffic might not be all that high, but as Americans migrate, the sites will grow. Recall that before Party pulled out of the US market (way back when), Fulltilt was actually quite a small site. Then the Americans migrated from Party to Fulltilt/Stars, making Fulltilt a lot larger than it was.

i think traffic is going to go way up on Carbon, Lock, Sportsbook, etc. ... i signed up for 5 sites this weekend

now, im pretty gun-shy about depositing even to those sites right now, but i'm sure i will be bored with freerolls in a hurry and deposit if i'm not able to get anything free going

Yes, changing your IP wont change a thing. I signed up for Lock/Carbon/Blackchip on the merge network.I am just playing the freerolls until I can get something going.

They have five $200 added 5K player max freerolls daily. These kinda blow, but still fun to play. The way I made a few bucks is using play money to buy step sng tickets. You can buy up to 10 daily. Finish in top 3 in step 1 to get step 2 ticket. Finish top 2 in step 2 and get step 3 ticket. Win this and get a buck:). Also 2nd gets another step 2 ticket and third gets a step 3 ticket.

Took me about 60 total SNG's to get $2. That could keep you VERY busy while waiting for the "few and far between" donkaments to fill. Also if you get your post count up with quality post, you can asked to be signed up in the CC freeroll club. Once a week you have a shot at a decent BR starter.

Carbon seems to me to be the best place to freeroll in the US right now. As much as it sucks for me, it also feels good to be playing at all. This is one challenge I have never took part in and it will be fun trying to succeed. If I build a roll from nothing there and the DOJ messes with my money, I may just go postal(just kidding DOJ, this is not a threat please don't arrest me. Seriously, sick bastards!).

If you give up they win. Plain and simple.
