Although it'll likely be easier WITH an email than without, you don't need an email to be eligible to submit a claim. Anyone can do that starting tomorrow.

Ford,

I know this is an "individual" question, but it seems to be the case for many people. If you have $100k in your account and played years of high stakes poker, but had an affiliate account and referred a friend or two and received pennies from it, are you there labeled an "affiliate" and ineligible for your poker monies?

LOL, what part of "Nobody here can answer you" don't you understand?

KingKongGrinder - when you talked to them over the phone, did you ask if you were "in their database" of accounts?

Or did they say your information was completely not in their "database" ?

Having not received the coveted email I just called GCG. The lady who answered started reading off all the info we already know and I said yeah I know all that. I said I know someone who was given a reason why they did not get the email and I also would like to know why I did not receive it. She said she would send my request to the appropriate department.

I was in the database. They knew my screen name and everything.

Good grief, didn't you read his post. You will find out tomorrow when you file for remittance. Nobody can answer your question today!!

Wow. Just checked my mail, careful to scroll through the spam folder. There it was. It arrived an hour after I posted here. Haha.

I really miss the Skype group, Rich. But I took Skype off of my computer because it seemed to really mess with my minimal-everything laptop. Thanks, though.

Yes, I got the same thing. I harassed them until they called me back. Maybe they got upset I called so much and made my account an affiliate.

you should be more clear about your acct.


who did you have rakeback under
did you refer anyone through FTP;s own promotions
did you refer anyone through your rakeback provider
did you deposit real money yourself
did you have a positive balance on april 15th?
do you have any outstanding withdrawal issues pre/post a15?

.

were you grandfathered into rb pros or did you sign up through them?

I didn't have a RB account and bothered FTP until they gave me one. I then signed up through rb pros.

I got my email a couple of hours ago, so unless I was the last person to get one, they are likely still going. "Today" doesn't end until midnight which is several hours from now.

Just checked my spam folder and remission email was in there.

From GCG:

2-3 additional days is almost enough to take us to next week territory.

at least i haven't gotten the 'registered on the gcg site but is not on the ftp list' email. hopefully i'm in the bounced back category, though not sure why.

Just spoke with Dwayne at CGC 800 number. First line answerer, not a supervisor.

* I haven't received an email, however he confirmed I am NOT marked as an affiliate. If you call, start by asking if you're marked an affiliate - don't start talking about that you haven't gotten an email. If you can handle the patience, just wait, but I couldn't handle it after reading KingKongGrinder's message.

* I asked when the site would accept logins tomorrow (when they manually throw the switch, midnight, etc?) He said he had no idea.

* I asked if you submit your own petition and don't have a control & petition number, if I was correct asssuming you'd never be given an expected balance owed to you. He said I was correct - without the email, there is no way once you start to "link up" to your account and see what they think you are owed.

* They are re-sending some failed emails.

* No email, I suggest waiting at least a few days to see if it comes in. Submit your own petition, and you'll sit wondering if they agree with your balance for a long time.

excellent post


people should be aware that there is a petition and control # in the email. Be sure to have one or you should begin preparing for the possibility to jumping through more hurdles to get your claim into gcg.

While I imagine some email notice recipients may be deemed ineligible for remission, I think there has been some vetting on who will receive an email notice. I spoke with someone last week who emailed GCG with a question. GCG responded by telling him he is not eligible for remission. GCG included that criteria list that was posted earlier ITT.

On the flip side, there are many reasons those qualified for remission won't get their email...the main one being it getting discarded as junk mail. Everyone with money on FTP should apply for remission -- email or no email.

Some emails just don't go through the first time. Sometimes the connection just times out - just like a webpage can stall and you have to hit refresh. If you're sending this many emails, this'll happen.

Typically an email server would try a few more times, increasing how long it waits between tries. (So, generally, you don't even know this is happening with email.)

It's quite possible their system isn't acting like that -- they may have designed it to make a first try for everyone, then start cycling through the failures.

Rich,

In the case of someone having $100k on ftp, and receiving a few affiliate dollars over the years for referring a friend, I understand that we should file the claim and such....but will the PPA somehow be going to bat for people like this?

Any of the legal minds know if there's laws one way or the other discussing affiliates and remissions? If so, if there's any case law defining how much of an affiliate you have to be?

I would get having affiliate money deducted, but on a first glance I wouldn't believe they could lawfully deny hundreds of thousands of dollars over a few bucks in affiliate money.

No email, had rakeback through rakebackpros, and had an affiliate account that earned some money via friend referrals (not much).

Based on the last few posts, I'm pessimistic about the $4k owed to me. Very, very pessimistic.

Sigh.

Note that I'll file anyway, email or not.

something just isnt right.

you must be forgetting soemthing about your account. having rakeback doesnt exclude you from the process.
