Absolute Poker / Ultimate Bet victim remission - Page 30 - Poker News

no email here also ,and being from venezuela and with the new payment news i see almost imposible to cash the money if they dont accept to send to my us citizen mom or my irak veteran brother, or even to my paypal or neteller account.

have you contacted GCG about your situation? if not, i'd suggest doing so asap. here's the contact info from the emails i've rcvd:

If you have any questions please contact the Claims Administrator by calling toll free at (855) 907-3254, or emailing us at Info@AbsolutePokerClaims.com.

good luck to you sir.

Never heard of the garden city group, but the same info you give them, is the same anyone needs to take money out of your account if you are sending out payments for anything.. even if they are a valid company (which I'm sure they probably are) they are obviously storing the info, etc, which could make it prone to hacking etc, plus you never know who exactly has access to that info, that could steal it... The less people having my bank account info, the better... Would feel 10000% more comfortable if they were just sending a check.

Even if you do get hacked (which obviously would suck), you aren't liable for any unauthorized transaction as long as you report it within 60 days for most banks.

Do they also mail to players who didn't have money on the sites?

Yeah it says on the website that if you provide bad bank info that they will mail you a check instead.

Apologies if someone asked before, I wanted to know whether it is possible to send money to a member of my family. The petition is reviewed and it remains only to confirm the bank information. Im from Russia

UK here.
Got the email a couple of days back. Many thanks to all who have fought on our behalf to get the money back. I owe you a couple of beers.
There's been another late cruel twist for me though as my wife says it's all going on doing up our house! Another bad beat years later

Good to see many familiar posters popping up in this thread and getting their funds back.

Anyone come across this,

On the fill in banking information, it has Bank Account Name, Prefilled- and you cannont edit it.

In my case it is just my first and last name,

My bank statements and debit card include my First, Middle, and Last Name tho.........

So I'm not sure as this will cause a problem with the ACH deposit,

Also the bank address is different (some PO BOX in TN) then the bank I opened the account, I just entered the address where I opened the account. Routing numbers are the same

in the USA we have a stop payment fee on checks. they'd probably put a stop payment on the original check, deduct that fee from your moniez, and send a second check (they might also insist on sending a second check w/ a tracking #, which could result in another fee/deduction).

that said, i'd set up a wire if i was trying to receive moniez in mother russia.

Congrats on the 3 kids. We stopped at 2. It changes your life big time. We put it off as long as possible as it was always going to be game over for your social life!
My daughter was born a couple of years before black friday so I'd often find myself grinding with her sat on my lap. It wasn't exactly conducive to tilt control as I'm sure you appreciate. Still, I think kids are +EV
