This basically tells us....

Wait some more and we'll give you another announcement soon that says, "Wait just a little longer."

WTF?

The poker world is watching Doug. The longer you **** us over, the more international players you're going to lose. You still might have the clueless suckers playing, but you are going to lose all your regulars.

...so they're holding our money hostage, nice

- Moneybookers has been turned back on for some countries. Once it's confirmed everything is flowing smoothly more countries will be added.

This (non)information policy sucks. Just tell us what countries exactly.

I guess Luxemburg and Liechtenstein are back and San Marino is next or what?

what is going to happen with uncleared bonus money? is it just going to be converted back to points?

Yes this language is very troublesome. It is not an accident that they are using this phrase.

I will be the first to say, however, that some information, however minimal and unsatisfactory it is, is better than silence.

As frustrating as it is to get an update with almost no information, I have to agree.

Errrr..., excuse-me but where is the answer? Is this gelatine piece of text something more than a line of words? Hold on, let me find it, maybe it's hidden in this text ball...

Let me try, maybe you could've made your sentence even longer. Let me show you:

FTP has worked tirelessly in absolute commitment towards our FTP players to address these issues and has made significant progress on both fronts and in the issue that players are refunded because it's FTP´s main objective which, not sure if it's been said, is to fullfill your expectations in what you desire from the always available team of professionals that attend FTP players in needless hope to show the best satisfactory results in respect to life, the Universe, and everything. And so on...

that will take 6months to get to your door.

SuperJez · 05-15-2011, 06:48 PM

lol, so f'ing glad i got my money out already

darlingm · 05-15-2011, 06:48 PM

OK, who wants to buy $2,309.15 in FTP funny money from me, and at what rate? PM please.

feltgod · 05-15-2011, 06:49 PM

Wow, if ever a sport/industry needed a players union it's online poker.

FTP screws us all and we're literally powerless to defend ourselves.

My assumption is that FTP is hoarding rake right now to start facilitating cash outs. If they can stall another few months, they'll probably rake enough to pay US players without even needing the DOJ to unlock the frozen bank accounts.

i'm more concerned about the processing times/stocking issues. in my past experience with the store, things take a few months to come through and stuff is sometimes out of stock. i can't imagine how things will go when all of america is ordering ipods at the same time.

First, the two big questions for US players:

When are we getting our money back?

- Here's the official statement about where we currently stand on US withdrawals:

"Since April 15th and the days immediately following, Full Tilt Poker faced numerous challenges and hurdles to ensuring the smooth operation of its international business and the orderly return of US player funds. FTP has worked tirelessly to address these issues and has made significant progress on both fronts.

Thanks for the update, but the thing you posted as an answer doesn't answer the question.

JQCannon · 05-15-2011, 06:50 PM

FullTilt - please take four more months of stalling before allowing cashouts, so that my bankruptcy can clear first and I can get the money afterwards.

Thanks for caring...F U.
