I am owed money by Absolute, Ultimate Bet and full tilt poker which I am no longer able to play. I am waiting, but I have lost confidence it will be any time soon.

Not sure where you've been, but FT has been shutdown entirely -- worldwide -- since their license was revoked a month ago.

$1250 on Full Tilt. All from "free money", never deposited a cent of my own.
I had just consolidated my bankrolls from freerolls on other sites to make a first deposit at FT and take advantage of first-deposit bonus concurrent with Iron Man mid-year bonus to the tune of about 70%+ rakeback for 2 months.
I think I'm probably not the only one who was gearing up for the Iron Man mid-year bonus.
I still have some small bankrolls on other sites I can still play at, but the motivation to grind at 2nl and on what I consider vastly inferior software has been extremely lacking.
TBH, I've kind of been enjoying my little break from poker as I've now had the time to revisit some hobbies/projects which I had kind of forgotten about in my pursuit of grinding out $5k+ poker winnings from nothing in 2011.
Whether or not the $1250 disappears completely or not is kind of immaterial to me. Sure, I definitely have uses for the $1250, but to be honest my long term plan never considered using any of my poker bankroll until it hit the $5k mark anyways.
The thing that strikes me more about all this is the effect it has had on my desire to play poker... which is basically nil at this moment in time.
One other thing to consider for people not in the USA and with funds locked up on poker sites: The USD is falling against almost all worldwide currencies. We're all losing a lot of additional money due to the devaluation of the dollar, which is happening every single day.
Against the yen, by the time my USD is freed up it will probably be worth about 25% less in actual value due to USD devaluation and increasing yen strength.

I got most of my money out in the nick of time when I saw which way things were going, but I still have $600 stuck on UB and FT and I am not even an American.
Your DOJ certainly have no right to mess up my life. They should have stayed in their offices playing with themselves, as I am sure they do most days.

THIS!
Never messed with AP/UB (though I had been considering it earlier this year -- never pulled the trigger), thank goodness. Have about $1k tied up on FTP, not feeling good about it. I was pretty broke and playing under-rolled, was about to pull out about half of that when BF happened.

$1900 left on FT. Never deposited there, so I guess it isn't real. Eh, that logic doesn't work for me.
Did withdraw $1000 last year, but I'd love to get the rest and take another vacation to Las Vegas or something.
