Hi, couldn't PM FTPDoug so I will post a thread instead.

Here is what happened, at the start of this year another person living in my house decided that it was best to ask FTP to close his account (personal issues), this obviously in turn closed my account, but I didn't mind since I had stopped playing a few months prior.

So I was interested in playing again and I emailed FTP to check how I go about it, if I make a new account or what, but I got an automated reply saying the following:



So I was wondering if it is impossible to play again on FTP, if not what would I have to do.

Thanks!

Try PokerStars?

ask your friend what the outstanding issue was?

Doesn't sound like he just "closed" his account.

So you say your friend asked FT to close his account which they did as per his wishes, and they also closed yours which you were okay with, but now you don't understand how to get your account opened back up again? Why were you okay with it being closed to begin with? Surely you must have thought that was odd. No?

Of course he did. It's the same old garbage. He knows much more than he is letting on. He has also been around here long enough to know who FTPDoug is even though it's his first post under this name. Just another pointless thread.

Like I said in my post, he closed his account due to personal reasons, this can be done by yourself for a time of your choosing but if you want it permanently closed you must email FTP to do it, and I am 100% sure this is what he did.

I remember seeing something about this in the self-restricting option menu, not sure if it is still there or not.

Well I hadn't been playing for maybe 2 months before that happened, so it was behind me, but then I was going to log in for a couple hands a few weeks later.

TBH I wasn't "okay" with it, but at the same time I didn't really care that much because I didn't play at all at the time, at first yes I wondered why but found out later from my friend what he did.

This is actually my first post I have made, although on a new account it is still the first thread I have made, I have only been a reader of some stuff on here recently to get back into poker.

To answer the obvious question that at least one person is going to ask for whatever reason you feel compelled to be asking questions, I decided to post this on a new account because I would rather not tell people my FTP account name, if FTPDoug needs this information then that is fine.

Honestly I don't see why this matters to anyone, I am sure FTPDoug could find the reasons for closing my account (or friends), but to do that I need to either email or pm him, and to do that I had to make a post, and deal with random questions and opinions/speculations about the situation.

yes but it is clear the player you are associated with has an "outstanding issue". Simply barring yourself for gambling reasons doesn't leave an outstanding issue.

It sounds more like someone running a chargeback or something that is closely related to you.

Once i read "another person lining in my house" or "my girlfriend" did this, it sets alarm bells ringing. Whats the real story??

is your friends 'personal problem' multi-accounting,colluding or money laundering?

I really don't understand how lieing about any of this could benefit me when all that has to be done is look at reasoning for closure by FTPDoug, it's not like I can trick them into believing my story or something.


My only explanation is the employee responding to me had the same thought process as everyone in here and also didn't think it was necessary to look at the actual reason, just slapped on a pre-written response and sent it off.

At least your imaginations give me something to do while I wait.

" Oh I see FTP closed my account by mistake when my friend requested his to be shut down for personal reasons...oh well, I havent played there in a while, its no big deal. "

WTF is wrong with you people...

I do not care what the reasons are, how often I played there, etc...if I had a poker account of mine just locked down/closed, I would care and I would have had the problem taken care of that same day.....

Ok, well maybe not if it was at UB...I havent played there in 6+years and honestly I do not care what happens to that account on that POS site.

I think you have your reason and you aren't going to get much more without investigating on your own.

Try asking them how much your friend is on the hook for. Ship that amount to FTP. See what happens.

yet you reply in loads of these *pointless* threads

How can this be done any way other than trying to contact FTPDoug?

so before this gets very long.. do their #2 and #3 reasons apply to you in the slightest bit? Is there similar info for both of you, and did you both use the same account to fund? Also obviously he didn't ask them to close his account since they have an outstanding issue with it.

#2 yes if same address counts and #3 no my account wasn't funded by the same payment processor.

Why can't an outstanding issue mean what i've been saying it is? How else would they phrase it without giving anything away because of security reasons?

LOL another "FT is acusing me of _________ but I'm innocent!!" thread.

You acknowledge its a form email then act like its an actual email. Does not compute

Yes because some new players might actually believe these idiots. And your reason?

No idea what you're implying/talking about, I was responding to prodonkey's questions.

Because they have given you the reason already and it isn't likly to change. FTPSean is more likly to help than doug by the way.

Because that isn't an outstanding issue. That is a resolved one. An outstanding issue normally means that account probably owes FTP money in some way. Outstanding means it hasn't been resolved. If he blocked his account then I would call that resolved wouldn't you?

That said it could also be another account you are closely related too as well.
