It's ridiculous that checks should take 40 days to arrive. I understand if you get a bounced check because a processor gets shut down by the feds. But that the actual issuance of the check would take 40 days it's just pure incompetence. How long does it take to print a check, put it in a envelope and mail it?

You sir need some patience. What makes you think you need to be treated better than everyone else? Be patient and wait or GTFO. It take time What? You think they are robbing you? Just wait.

I mean would I really love to see everyone post on here about there cashouts taking time? NO

Eric82,
They are currently having problems due to the processor problems. Only advice I can give to you is to plan ahead accordingly next time.

If bank transfers (not bank wires) are available to you, that is the way to go right now. I have done 6 of them in the past 2 weeks, all of them arrived in 2 days or less.

Checks are just too unreliable right now. Takes forever to arrive and after they do you still have to pray that they clear. It used to be that checks had a much higher limit than bank transfers: $3k+ vs $950. With the $2k limit now, the difference is minimal, just do 2 bank transfer withdrawals for $950 each on back to back days.

requested: 12/3
received: 1/12

1/3 I emailed them to ask what alternatives there were since I hadn't received. They finally responded and said they were aware of delays and I could continue to wait or stop payment. I waited and just received check today.

I ask for a stop payment on 2 checks that have been over the 15 business days and no response in 3 days. It's been over a month since I got approved for the checks.

*** UPDATE ***

Ok, I got a check today for over $200. 1 of 5 owed to me. Requested on 12/15/10. Recieved today 01/12/11. Not bad for what some people are going through. I posted on here my problems and all of a sudden FTP sends me an email today after days and days of no response regarding the other 4 checks owed totalling around $2300.

Very cryptic emails at that, but none the less, an email. Funny how things work out.

I have contacted the cashier@fulltiltpoker.com email address, but no one is responding. Its been days now.

I've even offered solutions like just wiring me a lump sum and put a stop payment on the other checks. All I need to know is weather or not my money is safe, and when I can expect it. I NEED this money. My poker bankroll is paying for some VERY important things I did for Christmas, after I requested the withdrawals.

Please help me. My screen name on FTP is elghs2001
IT doesn't help when you request 5 checks when 2 would do just fine.

Please, don't speak unless you know whats going on. I put money in my account. I ran it up 5 or 6 hunge profit. I took out $250, and kept playing. Ran it up another 5 hunge or so. Took out $500 or so, kept playing. Ran it up, etc etc. Bottom line is, I took 5 checks for a total of $2500 before going busto finally. Now I want my money. 2 wouldn't have done just fine. So please, don't speak unless you know whats going on.

And why stop at 2 with your theory? When 1 would do even better?

Oh don't me wrong. I've NEVER been NOT insta approved for any withdrawal I've made. Always approve it right away. Check doesn't hit the mail right away however.

I'm waiting on a check that supposedly was cut around 12/13 and had a "delay in posting". I've been delaying a stop payment becuse of the info from this thread.

Could the people who posted about finally receiving their checks provide a little more information which I think will help everyone:

1) withdrawal requested date (12/11 for me)
2) postmark on check enevelope
3) date on check
4) location/country check was mailed from
5) date check finally arrived
6) approximate location you live (i.e. Midwest USA for me)
7) amount of check (i.e. $400 for me) if providing this info is OK with you since different cashout amounts may be treated differently

Thanks. I think everyone will benefit from this information since FullTilt is so negligent about providing it.

I don't have the check in front of me, but here is what I remember:

1) 12/15
2) Don't remember
3) Don't remember
4) I'm not very smart
5) 01/12 (28 days later)
6) Eastern Standard Time Zone
7) ~$250

To note: The next 2 checks (out of 4) owed to me are both $1000+. Requested on 12/19 and 12/24. Fingers are crossed.

Received today the first of 3 outstanding checks. This one was dated 12/14/2010.

The other 2 checks are also past the 15 day processing time.

I'm a black card holder if that matters at all in this process.

Chances this thing bounces since check withdrawal isnt an option anymore?

1. 12/14
2. 01/11/2011
3. also 12/14/2010
4. Neither am I
5. 01/14/2011
6. philly
7. max amount.
