FWIW - I just decided to check my offers again, and they offered me a 50% deposit bonus.... seeing as my last w/drawal was for my entire balance.

Needless to say, I will NOT be depositing there to take advantage of the bonus.

i thought about that, we deserve a bonus

they lied to us about the date the checks were mailed, and didn't even think we could look at the envelope and see it was b.s.

this is a hassle just like the bank transfers.

Full tilt has treated me poorly many times, but this is a whole new level of disrespect.
This is completely unacceptable.

I don't understand why more people aren't upset about this. Even the people who weren't lied to should be concerned that FTP is willing to lie to their players.

How do you actually know FT was lying to you? Maybe this new check processor told them all the checks were mailed on 4/28 but weren't for whatever reason. Or maybe there was a miscommunication because the checks were written on 4/28, but they weren't actually mailed until 5/6. Yea I know I'm just making excuses for them, but if you've been gambling online at lots of different sites for several years, you've been through a lot worse. I'm just not going to have a heart attack over this like some of you are.

FYI, most of the folks affected by the bank transfer meltdown have been offered $300 bonuses to keep them happy/playing at FT. Those transfers are probably a lot larger than the average check folks in this thread are waiting for, but I think it's time to start lobbying for some kind of bonus for us, too. $50 seems reasonable for my hassle, but ymmv. Thoughts?

Those who requested checks deserve their money in a timely manner just as much as those who requested bank transfers, and obv deserve the same compensation for lies and delays.

agreed. it makes no sense to me.

your MGR takes a hit when you withdraw by check, and now no bonus.

It was just a standard ******ed form letter. They didn't attempt to address the issue at all.

But glancing at the bank transfer thread, it looks like a ton of people still haven't gotten their cashouts, so we're actually in better shape than them at the moment.

I refuse to believe that the mailman didn't show up to the payment processor's place for 7 days, and that's why it wasn't sent out until the 5th.

Well, my check withdrawal was only for $250, but if most folks' check requests were for as much as the average transfer, then you're right, the same bonus would be appropriate.

In other news, my check arrived today.
Requested 4/20
Approved 4/22
Check dated 5/6
Postmarked 5/9
Arrived 5/12
Drawn from a Nevada bank, but mailed from Long Beach, CA. Whatever.

So are people who have been approved around May 1st getting their checks? I'm not looking forward to waiting a month for my money.

LucidDream got his awhile ago, it was approved May 1 according to previous post in this thread. He got that one before his earlier one.

Anyone cashed out over the last few days, or wants to do a test one? I can't b/c I am doomswitched.

i have in the past posted success stories of old checks finally coming and they are all true.
Now I have a question.. has anyone withdrew via paper check in the last week or two and gotten the check in a normal timeframe ?
I am asking because I cashed out three more paper checks this weekend all approved within 24 hours, and I am wondering if I should expect them in the time it used to take ... which was about a week from approval to doorstep...
I hope someone has gotten a check that was cashed out and approved in May
thank u
