Well, that's not exactly true. IIRC, I had already started clearing the bonus because I'd made 200+ points in more than 25 days of June. I think I'd even cleared a few bucks when the AGCC shut FTP down. My bonus was definitely already awarded.

EDIT: anybody else can confirm this? Were you guys clearing the mid-year bonus too?

This +1 million, it's so damn annoying trying to solve something throught email when it can be done in 5-10 minutes on a phone.

There are a lot of people who came very very close to losing a lot of money because people like him were going round saying FTP was healthy and operating as normal for ROW. How he can say that back then in the same breath as saying they are having to raise money for USA players, and also tell us now he 100% believed it I dont know. It needs addressing if he is going to be trusted as a poker room manager. I feel like he either didnt understand what he wrote/the situation at the time and is therefore incompetent as a poker room manager or he is lying to us that he 100% beleived it.

The issue of RB and the Ironman program has been asked repeatedly in most of the threads that have popped up since news of the Stars takeover was announced, yet neither Lee nor you have had anything informative to say on the subject. Going forward (ie once player balances have been secured) this is about the biggest issue, so please let us know where we'll stand.

For people who didn't get rakeback, will they be able to affiliate their accounts so they can get rakeback?

FTOPs relaunch promotion would be nice!

It would be nice to not bring multi-entry back, it was discussed a lot pre-blackfriday what are your thoughts on that?

Will you guys be resuming some Red Pro contracts or starting fresh?

What measures are being taken to make sure players funds are correctly credited? Especially with regards to the players that hand funds left in a pending state when the site went down?

Good idea Shyam.

Since you will be reading this thread (Well, you should anyway), I will compile a little list og suggestions for you to pass on to the relivent people. One of the things stars does well is customer care - I hope you guys will be just as good now (Question marks were brought up pre black friday about your customer care - though, I did not personally have any issues.)

1) Bonusues - Im one of those who deposited just before the site died (rage quit 2 weeks before you went busto) and was part way through clearing the initial deposit bonus. I think it would be a good idea to give those who still have this deposit the chance to clear it as well as a reload bonus (Greedy I know, but it is a win-win)

2) Rake - Bring the rake charges in line with stars imo. However, I would suggest keeping the dealt method since that owns the stars version in every single way.

3) Rakeback - It will have been said here, but its imperative you keep this system over a VIP system so to differentiate from Stars.

4) Iron Man - Bring it back. Its amazing for microstakes grinders.

5) FT points - Personally I would like too see an option to use them points to buy $ - a bit like stars. And not just for black card players.

6) Rush - Bring it back please . I do hope in the future you can merge the zoom poker and rush player pools in to one since at stars, zoom hasnt exactly took off as much as it did at FTP.

7) Transfer money from stars to FTP and back - I know this is in the works already, but it would be nice to have some option on day 1 to do this (via support perhaps)

8) Some special bonus for returning players who return within a week - Maybe lifetime black card or some special FTP 2 early adopter elite club.

GL - Hopefully we will see FTP back in operation come November

Everything sounds great, especially this. Personally I liked playing on full tilt more than stars and I'm glad to hear it sounds like it will offer a similar experience.

Will the items in the VIP store, ordered before BF, still be delivered or do we get the playerpoints back in our accounts? I ordered a tablet 15 months ago but recently bought a IPAD in the shop, so i'd rather have those playerpoints back into my account.

Any word on American players that did not move before June 29th, but have since moved out of the country and currently play on stars? I know they will not be able to leave their account balance intact and will have to apply to the doj, but will the process of reopening their account be quick and painless?

I think 99% of FTP players will come back to play! I seen a post to remove re entry, that's the only thing I didn't like of FTP, are there talks to remove multi entry into tournamnets? Every thing else is golden!

Shyam,

As you may know, some of us relocated after BF simply to retrieve our money with little intention of leaving the US at that time. This was a largely unsuccessful endeavor, and in any case, we're now back in the US. Will FTP be providing a reasonable way for us to get our money. Preferably a wire to a US bank or check to a US address. I would be fine having my account locked up after that, and if I want it reopened, I can go through the relocation process again.
