24,000 Online Poker Players Affected by Federal Funds Seizure

APNewsBreak: Group says government has frozen online poker players' winnings

WASHINGTON (AP) -- An advocacy group for online poker says the federal government has frozen the accounts of payment processors that handle the winnings of thousands of online poker players.

The Poker Players Alliance says those winnings are worth upward of $30 million.

The alliance tells The Associated Press that the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York told three banks to freeze the accounts.

A document obtained by the AP shows that a judge in the district issued a seizure warrant last week for an account at a Wells Fargo bank in San Francisco.

The Justice Department has long maintained that Internet gambling is illegal, a view that the poker group challenges.

Last time I did a wire my bank charged like $15.  This isn't because its related to poker, its just a standard charge for incoming international wires.

I dont see a thread about this and seach isnt working. fwiw i got my stars paper check from a different processor today from 6/5. Also just checked my online banking and i see that my e check from 6/1 also hit after being reprocessed. Just in case anyone was wondering. Also e check deposits are up for me, and cashouts should be back in time accordning to the cashier specialist.

for those of you who do regular wire transfers you might want to consider switching to TD bank, they dont charge a fee

If anyone has had a cashout at PokerStars recently, how long was your cashout pending?  I'm trying to figure out when I should make my next cashout. 

I know the checks are taking over a week to arrive by mail.  I'm curious to know how long cashouts are pending. 

Thank you in advance for any reply

I'm thinking about doing a bank wire on my next cashout.  How long does it take to have your money in your bank account.

Waiting 2 weeks for a check after a cashout sucks.  I'm not sure I can wait that long everytime I make a cashout.
