I wasn't aware of any hefty cashout fee on Juicy Stakes but then again I haven't put money onto or withdrawn from that site in a handful of months. Things change. They just merged player pools with Intertops (which I have an account on) and when (if) the traffic picks up on that network any time soon again I'll be depositing on Intertops as I do know that their cashier has a more reliable track record than JS.
Bovada and WPN are quite reliable with cashouts and depositing is as simple as entering in your credit card # just like with PokerStars. HM2 and PT4 work with WPN and as far as I know they work on a session by session basis with Bovada as that site has "anonymous" poker so you never know who you're playing against or any of their stats from session to session. Just to add to this - WPN's software has undergone a series of upgrades over the last 90 days and I have to stress that it really isn't too bad. it's quite comparable to Stars at this point.
As for the Beast: A lot of people love it and a lot of people hate it. However, they just started the Sit and Crush promotion as well as a Christmas season promotion that a lot of people are raving about. In fact, traffic on WPN has exploded over the past week.
I just think it's irresponsible and unfair for some of you making it out like the state of online poker in the States hasn't improved at all since Black Friday itself. Things could be, and have been, a lot worse. I would recommend WPN to anyone as I don't think there are but one or two states that don't allow it and it has a lengthy track record of reliable withdrawals.
edit: Looking over your reviews of poker rooms which continue to allow US players I see that your information is terribly outdated. Now, I understand that most of you here on FTR aren't from the States but if you're going to accept US players on these forums and actually write reviews of the sites that do allow US players I don't think it's asking to much to see timely updates in an attempt to actually give people credible information. We're going through a tough time in the online community here in the states but let's not forget that a) things can and have been worse and b) the US is still the center of the poker world. Not Europe. Not Canada. The US. It would be nice if the Europeans stuck out in the middle of nowhere would remember this and act accordingly.
