QFT

nice update. actually slightly excited now!

You mentioned relocated U.S players currently living outside of the U.S be able to retrieve their account in a procedure similar to the one PokerStars employs.
Once an account is verified, will US players still have to go through the remission process in order to receive their funds? Or will they simply be allowed to play with their current account balance and cash out through the new FTP?

If FTP could make bonuses instant (instead of working them off) like on PS that would be amazing.

agreed, and i certainly hope they end up moving to that sort of system eventually

1. Will FTP change the store-purchased bonuses to be instantly credited (like PokerStars cash bonuses) instead of requiring clearance?

- There are no plans to change this, no.


D'ya get it?

When will you know from the authorities how I can access my account in Italy?
We cannot commit to timing, as we continue to work with the Italian authorities in order to comply with their requirements. More details will be given as soon as they are available..

want to say, that we Italians will be the only ones (besides the U.S.) not to be paid within 6 November?

Lol, obviously my post bothered you a great deal.

Thanks

Don't think it's your post as much as the FTP threads seem to attract everyone on 2+2 who failed reading comprehension class.

Please let me get rakeback, dont be unreasonable like previous ftp staff =D

As a high school teacher for almost ten years, I can assure you I have dealt with many more instances of people failing reading comprehension than most lol.

I read the most recent posts in the thread and got pulled away to deal with something. In that time more info was given that wasn't there when I posted. Had I refreshed the page before posting it would have been.

I followed the original thread and now this one, and I completely agree it contained people who had no desire to read. However I dont think reading comprehension was my problem, more circumstance.

Apologies.

If your address on file on June 29th, 2011 was a U S address then you must go through the remission process.

Great update...can't wait!

license in Denmark one time!

thanks for the update i miss ftp tables

and what if it was a foreign address but we are now in the US?

US player question (sorry for likely repost)

what process do US players have to go thru to play on FTP(are we even being allowed to?)

1) Leave the US
2) Log on to FTP
3) Withdraw cash
4) ???
5) PROFIT!!!

Hope this helps...

I would recommend getting in touch with your local congressman.

Players in the US can not play online poker.

In before 40 replies on where have you been

Fortunately, that's completely false.

23. What if someone had a ROW account before June 29 but has since moved back to the US. I know they are considered ROW but what if they don't have access to those particular bank accounts from ROW and the address for check mailing purposes. How will withdrawals work then?

- It's safe to say nobody knows the answer to that question just yet. Plenty of people are working through all the various issues that are part of this relaunch, and you can be sure that when it's all said and done there will be a process to withdraw any money in your account.

What about FTP relationship with pokertableratings ?

Got the email from them. I can't wait to play on Full Tilt again!

Don't mean to rain on everyones parade, but I doubt the FTOPS will be much better than the last Poker Maximus put on by Merge.

All us Americans saw what happens when a site tries to desperately replicate WCOOP without a player base or the money to have worthwhile guarantees. To those who don't know it was a disaster and an absolute joke. With that said though I REALLY hope for the sake of all you ROW that I am wrong.

Shyam whats the reasoning behind a FTOPS less than a month after opening? You guys should have just gotten back into the old schedule and waited till February till you got back some players and could guarantee more money. Just seems like a money grab!

I seriously hope you guys don't put on another Multi Entry Main Event. The last one was absolutely pathetic where 20% of the top 100 lost money in whats supposed to be the most prestigious title on Full Tilt Poker. The 68th place finisher made $159 and he probably played 9 hours and spent $4,000 to get in. I hope you fix these problems, even if it means lower guarantees.

And full transparency regarding people who win these would also be good. I remember countless times where the winner of an FTOPS would never play on the account again. Which makes people assume the account was taken away for some kind of cheating, which in that case the money should have been redistributed.

Don't mean to insult you guys Shyam, your doing a great job!
