So is it worth even bothering to take money out of FT now? If I try and don't get a check it looks like it's still ok, anyone getting completely screwed out of their money?

Just under $20, actually. Well worth avoiding any potential headaches with checks right now imo.

Just to update,
I deposited a check I got from Canada at the ATM..Cleared next day, so gonna deposit the other one soon..=)

How do u tell if a check is successfully cleared?

"Hello ME,

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

We're pleased to inform you that your check withdrawals were not affected by recent processor issues and should clear successfully. Rest assured, this issue is resolved and all check requests are processing normally.

For future reference, you can request one check every 24 hours and 2 checks per 7 days for any amount between $100 and $2,500.

If you'd like to withdraw your funds using another method, you can view your payment processing options by visiting your Full Tilt Poker Cashier and selecting "Withdrawal"."

Comforting. Now I'm just pissed if the bank decides to hold on to my check for 30 days...

I requested a check for the max of $2500 and received a check for $2500.62. This happen to anyone else? Not sure where the .62 cents came from. I deposited it yesterday and just hoping it clears.

the 2500.xx is def common

Yea well dude not trying to piss you off any more then u are but there have been a few posts lately of people depositing their checks in the atm and clearing fast. You said you knew you should have done this yet you didn't. Lesson learned I guess?

Yea, this has been explained ITT a few pages back. Full tilt will just add this to make it look more like a payment for services, rather then a round number. It will never be for less then you requested. The leaflet I get with the canadian checks actually explains this, although it says due to"market fluctuations"

Just another reminder for people that dont read this thread: Deposit your checks in the ATM. Unless you like possible headaches.

I have not heard anyone have any problems when deposited in the ATM, I have heard all sorts of problems when done in person at a teller. It's really that simple guys.

This is interesting because I tried to deposit a check from my work the other day using the ATM, and the ATM said there would be a hold put on until July 1. I cancelled the transaction and went inside the bank and deposited. The check cleared in the normal time and I have the money now. Strange.

Thats a standard hold. Have not heard of any 30 day holds through the atm though. It also depends on many things, like your account history, funds in your account etc...

As a general rule, especially with people worried about confronting a teller with an international check from an online gambling site it seems best to just deposit in the atm.

Thanks for sharing your experience though.

Also I think atm deposits are not picked up and processed over the weekend, so this may have just been a standard way to cover their ass. It is true though that most deposits are not credited to your account immediately through the ATM. Usually they will automatically clear a 100 for you though.

i cashed out $200 on the 6th never got a check after 15 business days $300 was put in my FTP account. I then did a premium wire, and the money was in my bank in 48 hrs. so atleast for me everything is working well

Damn. Did anyone recieve a check today?
Still waiting here.

Just received check from 6/15 but not 6/6. Anyone else like this?

Good thing. Hopefully i get mine tommorow.

Still waiting for my 6/16, hopefully tomorrow.

6/16 hopefully tomorrow?

most of us are still waiting on 6/8 or 6/9

these appear to have cleared fyi.....

but last time i checked online and they "cleared" they bounced 1-2 days later.

If that happens ill let you guys know.

edit: one was from Canada, the other from a new processor in the states

Requested on 6/13 and approved on 6/14, still have yet to receive it.

Do the FTP checks usually take this long? PStars checks took less than a week, although reading the PS check thread, it seems like they are taking longer than usual too.

I would the guess old payment processor that was shut down probably could handle to day-to-day volume much better than the newer ones.

Still waiting for my approved 6/8 one.

love the blockbuster excuse lol

i got my 6/16 check today written from a canadian bank, will try to deposit tomorrow.

Still waiting on 6-15 check.

Premium Bank Wire? I tried to figure out if that was the standard FTP wire of $2500 or thereabouts (may have dropped some), or if that was a wire transfer you could do for say $300 for a fee. If a fee, how much? Bad news for me is my bank charges $30 for international wire, then I think there is another $30 or more for intermediary bank, then even more money for some other smuck. Please str8ten me out. Thanks.
