i saw a thread on another forum stating that Firepay is not taking incoming US transactions as of the date of signing the bill. and will no longer process any transactions, in or out, w/in 10 days of that.

just a heads up for those of you that use Firepay. however, i didnt see any sources or quotations from the OP on that one, so you may want to do some research of your own, as well.

anybody else hear the same thing?
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Good riddance. They made enough with all the panic in the past couple weeks by charging their rediculous $10 cashout fee anyways. Like I said awhile in my blog... "Fuck Firepay." They also conveniently raised their deposit fees. Again, Fuck FirePay.

With Party shutting out US players I have no need for them anyways. If online poker issues ever get resolved they're still not going to be able to regain a lot of their lost business because of the way they're treating their customers now.

 From FirePay via email:


SUBJECT: New FirePay policy for US account holders

On September 30, 2006, the United States Congress passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006.

Once President Bush approves the Act. FirePay (www.firepay.com) will no longer allow US consumer payments for online gambling merchants.

* Beginning the day President Bush signs the Act, FirePay will decline any purchase transactions from US FirePay account holders at any gambling merchant site.
* Ten days after President Bush signs the Act, FirePay will decline any transfer attempt made by any online gambling merchant to a US FirePay account.

All US FirePay accounts holders will continue to be able to make purchases and receive payments from non-gambling, online merchants, as well as “Deposit From” and “Withdraw To” their US bank account.

Click here for the latest news and opportunities for FirePay account holders.

** Please note:

1. This new policy will not affect FirePay account holders from outside of the United States

2. For any questions regarding these deadlines or policy, please email info@firepay.com


Sincerely,
FirePay
