Re: Remission of FTP funds and the PPA

Skallagrim, Thanks for the information thus far. Has there been any mention of a procedure to allow FT players to verify how much they are owed before applying for remissions. I'm one of I'm sure the many who have a general idea of how much I am owed, but don't have a written record or screen shot of my final balance. At this point, I can't even recall what my password was for FullTilt if they reopened access to the site for verification. Thanks for your continuing guidance.

The one thing we do know is that the DOJ AFMLS will have complete access to all FTP account records. So the actual amount of your account balance will be available even if you do not know it.

But the AFMLS will have to have some sort of way of verifying that the people they are planning to send checks too are indeed the holders of the account in question. Loss of password could really complicate that.

The PPA is putting together information like this to give to the DOJ so that they can hopefully devise a system that takes care of concerns like yours, but I am sure it will take a bit of time before that system is announced.

So until the plan is in place, every FTP player should try and amass as much of their account information as possible. Hopefully the vast majority of players will have enough to make verifying their ownership of the account a very simple process. For those who do not, the PPA hopes there will be ways to get the information as needed through some special procedures.

But until the procedure is decided and published I can't really get any more specific than that.

Thanks for the quick reply! I will start putting together as much information as I can gather, and await further direction.

Yeah, no chance that I still know my Full Tilt Password at this point given that I barely played the site before it closed, so hope there's a way around that. Will suck to lose $4 grand because I didnt record my password.

Re: Remission of FTP funds and the PPA

6/29/11 is the date of record. If you were a US player on 6/29/11, you don't have a balance to leave intact on Full Tilt. You have a remission claim on a fund controlled by the US government funded by Poker Stars.

Re: Remission of FTP funds and the PPA

Anyone know if the DOJ received the first payment which is supposed to go to remission fund? If so how long until they tell us the next step? I hate being in the dark again about this, I mean atleast they could throw out a general deadline or time frame. That would be horrible to leave US players 6 months to a few years to reclaim their funds. I know I'm being way too impatient but its really annoying when you know ROW players will receive their money within 90 days

I wish I could tell you.

It is known that the DOJ is already working on this. And the DOJ has indicated that they want to get this done sooner rather than later.

What is not known is how that translates into a given number of days.

Re: Remission of FTP funds and the PPA

the way the DOJ statement reads... does it look like it pointing at deposit amounts and not balances?

Meaning that the horrid business model that FTP is charged with running by the DOJ should take into account and replace how much someone deposited on the FTP website independent of what the ending balance was.

am I reading this incorrectly?
