Full Tilt payment delayed - again
Irish Mike
operated or how I was treated. I attempted to withdraw my money four times
but was told I had provided "incorrect information". After numerous
frustrating attempts to deal with their support group I just submitted a
fifth withdrawal request, using exactly the same information. This one went
through and on April 23rd I was told the money would be electronically
transferred to my bank account in a couple of days. I just received another
e-mail from Full Tilt telling me that the delay isn't their fault and that
my request will be processed by May 23rd. I'm pretty much done with these
guys. I figure if you ever did get lucky and actually win one of their big
tournaments, it would take you two years to get your money.

and still have not gotten it.
While in another trny, I used the chat box to ask other players about
this, and one replied that he had just gotten his money after waiting
two weeks. Since today is 14 days, I'm hoping to get paid this week.
If there were a serious problem, of people not getting paid AT ALL, I
mean like, FTP just running off with the money, it seems that it would
be in Card Player mag, etc.
So I'm hoping that's not the case. Still, I have to wonder whether
the delay is a cash flow problem, FTP about to go belly up, or what.

I think it's probably just an administrative screw-up involving one of Full
Tilt's vendors. But there are plenty of online poker sites to choose from
and I see no reason to put up with Full Tilt's delays and crappy service.

Do you mean, "Personalities, be damned!?"

They keep sending me emails saying they sent it already, now today they
say they WILL send it.
Oddly enough, of my 4 cashouts they only send me emails for 3 of them,
they have yet to confirm my last cashout made weeks ago for 2k.
Ripping people off is not good business.
FTP may be all done or at least thrown into the UB,Absolute,pokerspot
dungeon. I wrote some thoughts here in no particular order why this could
be more serious as time unfolds.
Banks
Big banks
Banks so big that without these banks, the global economy would not exist.
Without the BLESSING of these banks, Fulltilt Ceases to exist. These guys
make the uigea look like a suggestion. They can stop all traffic going to
FTP and their pros. My father was once a very active and powerful man in
this circle.
If the word gets into the circle of these bankers that Fulltilt is
scamming us, Fulltilt is gone.
There are people much larger than Fulltilt poker who can pull the strings
on their purse strings.
FTP pros have enough assets to make the court case worthwhile. Couple that
with negative sentiment on a very wide scale. Add to that, FTP operates
in a gray area legally. If they get enough heat Ftp is gone. If they fight
it then every "pro" faces time. Who gets prosecuted in cases like this ?
Someone big enough who stole from enough people to make the case
worthwhile.
FTP has already, at this point in time stepped into the arena of lying to
the customers. Lying to us is like a spouse being unfaithful. The trust is
gone and forever tarnished.
Presently Fulltilt has accepted deposits for one month and has payed
NOBODY.
Well, accept for the "pros". Would you want to be a Fulltilt pro at the
WSOP this year ?
The negative sentiment Fulltilt is creating, combined with WSOP exposure
could hurt them in such a longterm sense that recovery from this is
impossible.

Im well past 2 weeks. Numerous emails they send are contradictory as to
the timeframe and that they have been sent, will be sent. OF four
transactions I have pending, they only refer to three of them.

I ask in chat and roughly 1% have been paid. ( shills ? )

Yeah, I'm sure that CardPlayer, that bastion of investigative journalism,
would just love to pen a report TRASHING ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST ADVERTISERS.
Idiot.

As much as it pains me, I have to agree with ChrisRobin on this one. Excuse
me, I have to go throw-up now.

If FTP is about to become a major scandal,
it is likely that it is not going to be a major advertiser for very
long.
And if CP mag is seen as being involved in a cover-up of
something that affects many of its readers,
it seems to me that they might at least mention the problem to avoid a
PR problem.
If not, then oh well, word of mouth and online blogs will scoop CP
mag.
One thing for sure, I'm not putting any more money IN to FTP
until their payouts become respectably and reliably fast.
If they've run off with my money, I'll feel really bad, but life goes
on.
PS: I've tried twice to open an account at PokerStars, but the
deposit transaction never goes through.
They told me that I could use my debit card (which works just fine at
FTP, unfortunately),
but it does not work when I try to deposit on PS.
Any helpful comments?
