Hey I was wondering what you guys think of this. I have 2 echeck deposits still pending for about $500 total. I just luckboxed 4k last night, 2nd in a tourney.

I don't like my bank seeing random echeck withdrawals(just my paranoia) so I might just email ftp and ask them to cancel the 2 echecks and take the 500 from my ftp acct. Think they would do this/it's a good idea?

Lastly, any quick advice as to the best way to get this money off ftp? I know everything is crazy right now so maybe wait a bit? Bank transfer, wire, check? TIA

Man ftp is str8 up ******ed at this point I have a friend that has run up 6k in deposits, withdrew like 10kish, has no intention of paying them back.
Another friend str8 up deposited 900$ and withdrew it 20mins later , which I found funny that ftp allows some1 to do that.
I've obv tried talkin them out of it, but of course they say fthat I run so bad, etc...

I've sent them money once about 6months ago , I have personally paid about 40kish in rake to ftp and hope ftp doesn't link me to them. It truly is sad though that ftp has allowed this to go on.

I am having same issues...I have always been able to deposit directly through e check and now in the verification process ( never had that before) it won't allow you to put in correct information (b day ) as there are no numbers in the pull down chart......are anyone's deposits going through currently ?

Do you mind if I ask how much, if there was one, the deposit fee was??

it seems that pokerstars has stop using e checks for Arizona and for someone else who is in Indiana.

Bump.

Anyone have insight into what processors are charging you for your deposits?

I made a $50 deposit and FTP said they do not charge fees but processors might. I don't want to get hit unexpectedly with a $50 fee like they do for withdrawals.

i've made like 6 $20 deposits since Nov. 1st. One finally cleared through my bank, one from Jan 5th. No extra fees charged. weird that only one has cleared though.

still waiting since Nov.

In the same boat as you. deposited 120 and grinded that up to 2.5k.....i just want the original 120 to clear so i want then to maybe take 120 from my account and i can rest assured i dont need to monitor my checking account anymore

Meh, most of the time they have another processor that can process the ACH, so all you need to do is make sure you didn't blow the money. If you do have to wire it to them, I'm sure they'd be happy to cover the vig since it was a processor issue.

I can't wait until we get the "I deposited $100 with echecks, ran it up to $2500, and now full tilt confiscated all of it because they never recieved my initial hundo" thread...

i have had 4 deposits that still have not gone through as well. 11/24/10 To 12/30/10. I tried to deposit again after a month and havent been able to. The money is there they just STIll havent taken it out so WTF?

I'm in the same boat as many others here and have about 5 outstanding quick deposits that are yet to come out of my checking account. I read through all 8 pages and am not quite sure how the cashouts are going....it appears the thoughts are conflicting.

Are people receiving cashouts or not? Is there a better way to get a cashout in light of this issue? In the past I have always just used Bank Transfer and it was very fast - like a day or two to my bank. I see it says 10-15 days now...is that new or has it always said that?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

I have a few pending transactions going back to Dec 18th. This is weird. I tried o cash out some funds but they sent them back to my account...

i also dont understand why people would continue to make the deposits after seeing multiple ones after many months not clearing.. you dont think this might cause some issues later?
if it happened once to me i would be red flagging the situation.

I made a withdrawl thru FT Premium Wire it was at a significant costs but I got money the next day.

I was curious why the play was so soft/bad. I mean $3,000.00 pots in plo with ace high,,,,,,,but when FT is giving out free money just like a bad home game how can I play against such insanity??????????????

Every player already has been played, both by the ass that didn't pay and knew he was playing with Imaginary $, (eg money he didn't have to pay back), this is also FT problem it created a problem for the players that were actually playing with their own real money!!!!!!!!!

The guy that was playing with the "Free" money was playing like an ass, that's fine if its his real money, but it puts the grinders money at risk. An example is if he really blew thru 20k he also probably wrecked several grinders bankrolls on the way out the door,,,,,,and they were probably saying how the f. could he call with that junk even though I kept on potted it? Short answer is that he knew he was freerolling with junked-up money that Full Tilt wouldn't be able to colllect on, therefore Full Tilt is responsilbe too. Full Tilt, just like BM Rooms, should secure the money before play not months afterwards!!

Having the real grinder players playing against loose cannons with junked-up bankrolls is not a level playing field. I have no way of checking the calling station bankroll to see if its clear the bank or not? But I can tell you it does effect his play if its his own money or not.

To be fair to all players, the cage or the poker room, virtual or not, should be sure that all players have the same investments in the chips they possess.

To allow some players to have "Junked-Up- Chips", (chips that haven't been paid for, because they are echecked and the bank hasn't been drafted yet), puts grinders in a bad situation. A player with Junked-Up-Chips will play differently with his stack than if he had invested real cash for the chips. The grinder is wondering how this calling station is calling all these pot sized bets with a Ace-hi, and then he wins with it.

I haven't been to a real casino that even takes freakin checks, much less waits for months to draft my routing/account numbers! Why should Full Tilt be any different?

Most of the edge I have against other PLO players is discounted if they are playing with advance debited Junked-up-Chips. Between, the free money and the rake I can't prevail.

trainrex,

How much did you withdraw? How long did it take? What was the processing fee?

Thanks!

i ****ing hope not

My situation is a bit different but still frustrating. I am one who plays a system. For example anytime my bankroll hits 1500 i take out 750. I keep about 10k in my "ft checking account" at my bank but do not monitor each individual transaction, just the balance. For the 2 plus years I have been with full tilt they have taken my money out within a few days and wired me money within a few days. I watch my balance but do not watch my individual transactions because I may make 2 or more deposits in a day. This system has worked over the years and while I am not a professional, I have made a few thousand here and there. If I am on a good run.. I might withdraw 2 or 3 times in a day. In a bad run i may deposit 2 or 3 (although I am limited to 2 per 24 hours now) times a day. I keep an eye on the BALANCE, so it took me a few weeks to realize my deposits weren't clearing reguarly. Over the past 3 months maybe 30 percent have cleared. Full tilt will not respond to any emails except for canned answers and WILL NOT TELL ME HOW MUCH IS OUTSTANDING! There is also no way to export your past transactions so I can make my own spreadsheet to figure this mess out. I literally have NO IDEA of the exact amount I owe them without hand entering hundreds of transactions. I wont do that. Full Tilt in my mind is the worst site imaginable but the only one with great 6 player super turbos in which I make ALOT of money. They better tell me they are withdrawing BEFORE they do it or it might not be there. I dont want to welsh on any money I owe, but I base my play on my balance and if they cant tell me how much I owe...then I say good luck trying to collect.

ftp is partly to blame for this whole situation with their lack of timely responses to players. I wouldn't be surprised to see ftp get shafted in a few months when they finally do try to collect and find that many players either a) closed their accounts or b) have inadequate funds in their accounts for ftp to collect
