Once Bar date closes is there anyway to make sure our petition was accepted and money is approved to be sent to you?

If you filed a petition you should have received a confirming e-mail from GCG very quickly after submission. If you did not see this e-mail I would first check your spam folder. If you still cannot find a confirming e-mail I would suggest calling GCG at the number on their website to be certain you are recognized as having filed before the deadline.

After the deadline new petitions will probably not be accepted by GCG's electronic filing, though if you have a compelling reason as to why you need to file late you can still file a written petition with the DOJ - but you will also need to ask for permission to file late and explain that compelling reason, not just file the late petition.

Aside from that we can only await DOJ or GCG notices as to when the processing of actual payments will begin (early next year is the current hopeful guesstimate).

I have a new update from the Department of Justice's communications with PPA.

Many former Full Tilt Poker "red pros" who were not members of Team Full Tilt had previously been informed by FTP Claims Administrator Garden City Group that they would not be eligible for remission. It was unclear if they were being grouped with Team Full Tilt (Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, etc.) -- a group deemed ineligible by name by the DoJ -- or if they were deemed de facto employees due to their sponsorships and denied on that basis. Either way, that did not seem fair. These were simply sponsorships, akin to a sponsored golfer or race car driver.

So, in the course of our discussions with DoJ on the broader issues we face, PPA brought up this issue.

DoJ just emailed PPA (and I have the actual email, so I am accurately relating its contents) on the matter. They are aware of the issue and it is under review. They have a very good understanding that these players are not Team Full Tilt and are reviewing it with that in mind.

They mentioned that anyone can file a petition, so if DOJ does not provide an update on this matter prior to the bar date of 11/16, anyone who believes they are eligible should submit a “new” petition to ensure consideration along with those petitioners who dispute their account balance.

DoJ could have easily said these players are de facto employees with a simple, "did they get paid by the hour?" It's a great reconsideration on their part IMO and I'm glad they see it as the right thing to do.

You and I had the exact opposite reaction.

I read the post about "optimistically" getting our balances by the end of the first quarter of 2014 and thought, "Wow, that's really fast. Nah ... that's not going to happen. But now maybe I actually can be somewhat confident that we'll get it before Christmas, 2014."

I have still not received an email with the numbers. What should I do? File under "Create a New Petition" on the website, or email them and request the numbers?

We are quickly closing in on the end of the remissions process (1 week left). I triple checked my information when filing but am still having concerns that if for some reason banking info or anything else was entered incorrectly I will get shut out in the final payment process.

Has there been any clarification of the process for how errors in filing could be rectified if they are discovered after the remissions process ends?

Best,

1. what daytime/nighttime phone number am i suppose to put in if im currently in canada right now? Do i just use the usa home phone even though i won't be at my home in the usa?

2. Does my current email address have to be the same as one on file with full tilt or it doesnt matter? Or just make it the same to prevent any problems if any?

3. Also silly question i know but am i suppose to check the box I'm a non us resident living abroad? At first i was going to not check it but then the phrasing of it has got me a bit confused. Im from the usa and living in canada at the moment.

Thanks.

So after the petition process we can expect to have our money by another year? Or is it going to be soon after the petition process. Kind of curious on this whole process.

They hope to have it delivered by "1st quarter, 2014".

Does GCG hold on to all the filed petitions until Nov 16 and then pass them on, or are they passed on as they come in?
Does anyone know if it's possible to WITHDRAW a petition once it has been filed? And if so, how?

So im filling out the form now and its asking me for the banking information. I use bank of america in NY. For the bank address, am i suppose to type in the bank of america office location that i go to the most mainly in new york?


I contacted the full tilt claims on the phone and they told me im suppose to put down the bank of america branch that i go to the most in ny. Is that what im suppose to write down? The way the person explained it got me really confused.


The problem for me is that the branch that i opened up my bank of america acct was many years ago and that branch moved to another location, im not sure which location it is now. Also theres a branch of america that is close to my home but i rarely go to that one. The one that i do go is pretty far from my home but i go to that one more than the one that is closer to my home. Which bank of america address am i suppose to use then? Note, i rarely go to the actual bank of america branch, i just go to the ATM but of course i know i can't put that address.


Can someone who put bank of america as the bank address tell me how they filled this part out? Thank you.

i just received a check from a bank in Canada from a marketing company in Quebec. Anybody know if these are legit?
11-11-2013 , 01:34 PM
Yes. Checks, banks, marketing companies, and Quebec are all legit.

Any branch or main office address will suffice. Use the one that appears on your checks if there is one (and that branch still exists).
11-11-2013 , 04:30 PM
Okay i will do that. Is there a reason why they ask for a bank address though? seems very weird for that. I just dont understand why not just put bank of america and then your acct number and it would be fine?

I guess I am the only person worried about this?

I agree. But it is government work...
11-12-2013 , 01:24 PM
the bank of america where i opened my account was over 8 years ago. That location has moved. I dont know which location it moved to...


Does that mean i just put the bank of america address that i visit the most often then thus my main branch?
11-12-2013 , 02:05 PM
call the bank and ask for a location the money to be sent to. Thats what i did and they gave me an address I dont even go to. Each city i guess has a main branch for money coming into our accounts. They need that one.
11-12-2013 , 02:06 PM
I was curious if anyone has been paid yet?
11-12-2013 , 02:13 PM
you haven't been paid yet??

Technically it is supposed to be the location of where you opened your account (the address that appears on your checks). But honestly it doesn't matter. As long as you have your account info correct it will get to you. I even called and BofA confirmed that having the correct address doesn't matter.

Yes, ROW players have been paid. US players won't be paid until the GCG and DOJ process the claims, optimistically by the end of March 2014.
