Official FTP Relaunch Thread (OP updated October 26, 2012) - Page 9 - Poker News

just posting to say it's great to hear that you guys plan to keep FTP FTP. while it's nice that pokerstars treat the game with so much respect sometimes that makes their site a little too serious/sportlike, with guys grinding out supernova elite like a job and the emphasis on aiming for poker greatness rather than simply playing a game and having a good time.

FTP always did a great job of keeping poker fun and appealing to recreational players looking to gamble/play a fun game, rather than trying to make everyone play like an MMORPG where we are all trying to level up and go pro.

Of course it is! Why would you just dismiss that in 1 dumb sentance?
Time and time again stars has stated that FTP and themselves are 2 different sites and will stay that way. VIP for 1, rakeback for another.
Jesus, i bet you were one of those "FTP is never coming back" posters too.

Hi Shyam, thanks for taking the time to talk to us.

Question: If I'm a US player but have relocated to overseas, can I play on Full Tilt for real money as soon as the site is re-launched?

Belgian license please! hope you're working on this already, you will need cooperation with a real casino in Belgium (or build one yourself

don't see that one happening). Maybe since Stars already does this, it can just be the same casino as the one Stars uses? Not sure ofcourse, but yeah definately hoping FTP will get a license to operate in Belgium!

How would they get their money before the relaunch? PS are going to want as much of the money kept on the site as possible so they aren't going to want to deposit it all straight into the player's bank accounts.

Will Isildur1 return to FTP. How sick would it be to see him play 500/1k for 200k a game again? Instead of grinding these 1/200 PLO games on stars.

Do you plan to open a Feedback Thread in mttc as Stars currently have one?

Also +1 to everything SEABEAST said!

Makes sense that Stars can lift the ban on FTP/PS players playing on PS/FTP. Create a kind of team rivalry meme.

1) Shyam Markus Please keep the same business model for FTP in terms of rake back thus allowing you to provide two methods to attract players rake back and fun games with FT then grinding/career based with PS

2) Please try to arrange a NO deposit bonus; its kinda unfair to make us deposit when our bankrolls have been taken from us in the first place. I myself lost ALL poker income

3) Stupid question im sure but is there any way a UK player could get some of their bankroll before the re launch?

I think a good idea would be to send out a statement to all players via email stating what their balances are (for cash, points, medals) to allow players to dispute any potential error before the relaunch date.

TV poker is gonna be awesome if stars can pool together stars and ftp players, with two sites running they can probably afford to bring back the big game etc even without U.S.A players.

Don't see why not. They're not suing new FTP/Pokerstars.
