Given the latest news coming out, it seems more and more likely we are not going to get all of our money back. However, FTP as a brand is probably going to be revived by Bernard Tapie. So how much of your money (percentage wise) would you need to get back to even consider playing on FTP again? I want at least 80% and anything less than 50% would result in a lifetime grudge against everyone related to FTP.

GBT is going to do a cost benefit analysis on the cost of retaining players vs cost of procuring it. I wouldn't be surprised if they pay us less than what we have. So how much would you settle for to keep playing on FTP if it does come back?

you could never pay me enough to ever play on ftp again. unless i got back >60% of my roll, then i would continue to play.

They were saying you would get <.20 on the buck...if it was taken over by a legit company who had the proper funds, everyone would be back on there. Anyone else who says they won't is lying.

anything less then 100%, then no way. 100% plus interest would be fair.

stupid poll, what I'd be willing to settle for(thread title) is very different to what I would need to receive to consider playing on it again(poll posted).

Yes because you are going to settle for whatever they give you

I mean the thing is, if US players are paid back only like 70 or 80% or something, the owners of FTP will have a marker on their backs for the rest of their lives until they pay up the rest of the debt. I assume their desire to restore their reputation will encourage them to pay up eventually.

But what is realistic? Most People saying they would only accept 100% would snap accept lower, in many instances much lower

If people don't get 100% of their FT bankrolls back the current owners of FT shouldn't be allowed to show their faces in a poker room ever again. I'm not saying they intended all this to happen but their negligence alone is enough to warrant their permaban from the respectable poker community.

What does "willing to settle for" mean? It's not like we'll have a choice anyway...

Does it mean what you'd take and still play on their site? What you'd take and not try to sue them?

Less than 100% and I'm never playing on there again for sure.

To play there again I want 100% of what I am owed but that is a different question. How much would I be OK with now? Less but there will be a permanent grudge.

This makes sense to me. Of course i hope all you guys get your money back in full.

I don't and havent played online ever but will If it is legal and regulated in the US. When it is legal if ft doesn't do the right thing they won't get me as a client that i know for sure. Despicable the stress you all have had to deal with

I will play on the new ftp no matter what, i have 20k on the site...would like to get it back. But any poker pro who says they will hold out and not play on ftp bc there holding a grudge for not getting there money back is in denial. If the games are available, they will be played
