What happens to those who are perma-banned from PokerStars but NOT from Full Tilt? Wil we still be able to play on Full Tilt?

THIS ^^^ Hopefully players without Rakeback now get Rakeback or VIP method which Poker Stars has either one plz lol

Playing without Rakeback on Full tilt sucked just because we had no idea what Rakeback even was as newbies while others received Rakeback. ugghh


And screen names hopefully we can change them one time



Congratulations Lee!

Might be too early to ask but what about forgotten passwords and I had one of those cheesy FTP RSA knockoff tokens.

This is all great news. Although I don't like the sound of this, "The process of reimbursing Full Tilt US players will be addressed by the US Government."

I'd guess at because Stars already has licenses for those markets and they don't think the markets are big enough to need another large competitor. For example, France already has two large poker sites which compete with each other (Stars and Winamax)

Re: Official PokerStars announcement regarding FTP and DoJ (no low content /meme posts please,

Lee, I had a few hundred dollars in my FTP account, but it was credited to me from FTP as ad revenue when I hosted an ad for them on my blog - will that money be counted as legitimate account money and returned to me at some point?

thanks
RB

Will money we had with a payment processor other than in our FTP account at the time of Black Friday make our way back to us? I withdrew a bit of money a few days before BF and it was processing at this time.

+1 to this. I'm not expecting the DOJ to compensate US players for value of points/medals/tickets/tokens, but there's no doubt those had a lot of value and in a lot of instances were just as good as cash. Does PS have any plans?

Here's an idea, if US players don't get value for their points from the DOJ, maybe FTP can restore them or reimburse for them in the event they return to the US market? I also have a really long Iron Man streak (unbroken since Iron Man started) that I wouldn't mind getting back if that loyalty program is still going to be around.

Great news!

How about if a large cashout was made just before black friday and your funds were stolen by the payment processor. Will there be a way to recover these funds?
