    if I wasn't in the US I would play there, but only because it's owned by stars now and has nothing to do with the people who ran it before.

    I kind of agree with you. I think the pokerstars ownership is by far the most appealing aspect of a relaunched Full Tilt.

    If pokerstars owns and runs full tilt then its all good ( you really think pokerstars will use any of the old FTP management etc...) Full tilt will be 100% pokerstars operations, and they have done everything correct. My only question is will they really ship the 225 million in 6 days?

    also wouldnt this allude to pokerstars trying to strike a deal with doj to operate within the usa? or do you think they would buy this out just for the rest of the world (no usa?)

    stay tuned!!

    As I said in the thread going on this, I think the most appealing aspect of this deal is that it allows Stars and Tilt to apply for U.S. gaming licenses. That could mean hundreds of millions of dollars down the road potentially depending upon what happens. Whether Stars and Tilt would actually be awarded a gaming license remains to be seen, but the access to the U.S. market is likely one of the main drivers of getting this deal done.

    If tapie or most other entities had brought FTP I would say 100% that I would not have played on the site, but since its pokerstars and they run the best site on the internet I will deff be playing on the re-launched FTP.

    LOL at mentioning Lock and FTP in the same sentence. FTP will instantly be the 2nd or 3rd biggest site online once it opens. I wish I could be part of the frenzy when all these Eurospazz's get an essentially free BR to play with. I can only imagine how amazing the cash games are going to be. Sigh, just hope the US has this figured out by the end of the year.

    Lets review; US players cash out through the DOJ. And we (US) can play FTP & PS when the Fed and/or your state lets you. That sounds, uh, great.

    Could pokerstars/FT launch right away in Nevada and Delaware, say within months? Or would it still have to wait for US federal government permission to operate at all in the states?

    I'm in Spain and hope they launch a FullTilt.es site. Might take a long time though.

    Serious question, If I am have a life time self ban on pokerstars, will I be allowed to play on Pokerstars FTP site? It is going to be a separate brand apparently.

    I'm 99% sure that the answer is no. State laws that allow online gaming only allow for businesses to be run and operated within the state, and don't regulate gaming across state lines which is what Pokerstars and Full Tilt are. It's similar to how Marijuana is...It's legal in some states for medical use, but at the federal level it's still a schedule 1 drug and they can bust anyone they want at any given moment. For us to be able to play on Pokerstars/FTP we would need a federal law allowing it, which who knows how long is going to take, and if you pay any attention to politics in this country is going to be full of conditions and stipulations because Congress writes laws for whoever pays them the most.

    My understanding is, you will ONLY be allowed to play Revolution and Merge, and not until 90 days after PS - FTP returns to the US.
    Enjoy!

    The only better new than this would be if a federal law got passed making online poker legal throughout the US, and gave pokerstars/Full Tilt licenses.

    Really don't think anyone knows something like this. Probably even PokerStars hasn't even considered details like this yet

    Imminently, I will be un-retiring. j3rky, the black guy wearing the orange shirt (avatar), will return to torment competition with tricky, prudent play, while conveying absolute indifference to all victims during action.
