Nov. 27 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve gave U.S. financial companies six more months to comply with rules intended to limit the use of payment systems for Internet gambling.

Let me add - While the good people in Washington continue to agonize over what is illegal internet gambling, we the people can't even get an echeck deposit to work on Full Tilt. I'm locked out of Full Tilt as they appear stunned, stunned, that a deposit was denied for one of their US customers.

6 more months to call, write, email our elected "representatives". Get out of our private lives and fix the real problems.

Well, if it passes, at least it should be like Neteller and give us U.S. players
a chance to withdraw our funds. That was scary, I had over $300 when they froze
the account. Fortunately about 5 months later they said you can withdraw in this 3 month window, and after that you just forfeit your funds.
