I think the overall bad economic scene, and money crunch have reached into the offshore sites/companies that bring you Online Poker. I tried to withdraw 2500 bucks from my Full Tilt Poker account...it is supposed to take 10 Business days to receive my check. In the past, I have always received my money withn 7 business days. Until about 6 weeks ago when it took 17 days to receive a check, and now, 14 business days since requesting this latest payment for 2500, I get this mysterious message saying "we apologize for the delay in processing your withdrawal, please accept as our apology a 200 dollar BONUS to your account...thank you playing at Full tilt."

This so called "Bonus" is bullshit ... it actually goes into a holding place called your "Bonus Account" ... in order to actually turn it into $$$, you must 'Earn" it by PLAYING a certain amount of games for a certain amount of $$, during which the site makes money with its "rake"

Basically, the bad economy has caused MANY people to withdraw from their poker accounts, so now the site/company is struggling and throwing up delays, probably on the verge of going under and simply disappearing from the internet.

I am serious kids, the shit is hitting the fan like never before
