You sure you followed all the steps exactly? Those are all automated at the FTP end, so there shouldn't be any reason for FTP support to send you an email (unless maybe there was something non-standard about your account, like it was frozen for investigation, etc.).

is you real name chris ferguson?

I can't believe I actually found my token.

this is the email hey sent me



Hello Cody,



Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately, Full Tilt Poker does not have access to your account balance information, and you will see no real money balance in your Full Tilt Poker account.

As you may know, on March 13, 2013, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York issued a press release announcing that The Garden City Group, Inc. has been retained to serve as the Claims Administrator for all cases pertaining to the process of reimbursing US players.

Please note that it is the Department of Justice who are fully responsible for establishing this process whereby eligible U.S. players will be able to seek compensation for their losses ("Petitions for Remission"). The Garden City Group, Inc. has been selected as Claims Administrator by the United States to process Petition for Remission claims submitted by the U.S. players.

Information about the claims administration will be posted on this website - www.fulltiltpokerclaims.com . Visiting this site will allow you to register to receive email notification regarding the commencement of the claim process and other important information. As well as email contact information there is a toll-free telephone number and a mailing address for written queries.

Unfortunately, we are simply not in a position to provide any further advice on this process - legal or otherwise. As this process is strictly within the control of the Department of Justice and not Full Tilt Poker, any further queries must be dealt with as part of this official process.

Regards,

Rui

does it matter that im on a mac?

nm got it (doesnt work on macs) , dont know if i should request my balance starting on 4/15 or ending because i played that day and lost. Thanks for the help

That's what they send everyone from the US who contacts them. The method I posted is a workaround to get around that.

I'd select a range, like 4/1/11 - 5/20/11.

I received this from someone who received this from Garden City Group. I phoned GCG and they neither confirmed nor denied it:

***************
The following persons are excluded from the Remission process and are not eligible for payment from the Full Tilt Poker ("FTP") Fund:

i. A past or present employee of FTP or any of its past or present affiliates;

ii. A past or present vendor of FTP that received compensation through FTP players' accounts;

iii. A past or present Team Full Tilt player;

iv. A past or present shareholder of FTP, Tiltware LLC, Kolyma Corporation A.V.V., Pocket Kings Ltd., Pocket Kings Consulting Ltd., Filco Ltd., Vantage Ltd., Ranston Ltd., Mail Media Ltd., or Full Tilt Poker Ltd.;

v. A past or present officer or director of FTP, Tiltware LLC, Kolyma Corporation A.V.V., Pocket Kings Ltd., Pocket Kings Consulting Ltd., Filco Ltd., Vantage Ltd., Ranston Ltd., Mail Media Ltd., or Full Tilt Poker Ltd. or any of their past or present affiliates;

vi. A defendant in any civil action or a claimant in any forfeiture action brought by the Department of Justice related to the violations alleged in this action, or any related action (or any of his or her affiliates, assigns, heirs, distributees, spouses, parents, children, or controlled entities); and

vii. A person who, as of the Petition filing deadline, has been the subject of criminal charges related to the violations alleged in this action, or any related action (or any of his or her affiliates, assigns, heirs, distributees, spouses, parents, children, or controlled entities).

From the NVG thread [emphasis added]:

Obviously we will have to wait until the 16th to find out if this is true, but how would it be that affiliates aren't victims just as much as players?

Thanks for providing this information, Rich. Made the process a breeze. Hope the rest goes as smoothly.

It will be a dead cert. Non-US affiliates didn't get a cent either. It wasn't even entertained. Stars washed their hands of any commitments to affiliates.

Great to hear that the player repayments aren't far away though

Do you know if there was any consideration for people that were both players and affiliates?

I wouldn't get your hopes up....

BUT...it will depend what went in and out of your account after your last withdrawal etc.

You'll need to get the transaction history and then prove to them what was your money and what was affiliate money.

For example
If your last affiliate payment was in March for Feb (2011) and you withdrew it all. But you has some money in there previously or deposited subsequently (or got a transfer form a third party) then you might have a case.

Basically you will need to be able to demonstrate what was what etc! And even then they could (and probably will) still say no.

Sorry to sound so negative.

Best wishes

What makes you an affiliate? If someone was getting RB from RakeTheRake and received some extra % for referring other players to RTR, are they an affiliate?

How is this defiined?

Hey A

Nope that wouldn't make you an affiliate.
You would just be a referrer of players once removed from FT
That would not be a problem

Best wishes

Johnny

Thanks,

I hope to someday be able to get back to referring people to you guys for US sites

Thanks A - I/we really appreciate that.

Hopefully that day is not too far away!


Best wishes

Thanks Sheryl. I hope everything goes smoothly for you here.

Has anybody received the e-mail from GCG yet with more info on submitting a petition?

I haven't yet

Me neither.

Nope

No- I haven't received the email either.
