then you gits a problem.

the only people that can't practically do this are one's in small towns that have only one branch where they all know you.

FINALLY GOT MY MONIEZ!!!!

I'm pretty sure I owe a great deal of thanks to my Rakeback provider. Karim was able to get in touch with FTP's support, and they actually responded to me finally. Returned my $2000, plus a cash bonus of $10000 (Minus $9900).

I would say that after this fiasco I am for sure moving a good chunk of my roll to Stars. When it comes to money you really want to be dealing with the best Customer Service, and Stars is where it's at for that.

me too

grats dude, i actually started to feel sorry for you

same! just got the following email a couple of hours ago (followed by cash deposit a couple of hours later)

"Hello Andrew,

Thank you for choosing Full Tilt Poker.

I sincerely apologize for the delay in response. We have experienced an unusual spike in volume for check-related inquiries at this time, and are working hard to return to our regular response times. We thank you for your patience as we strive to provide all of our players with updated and informative responses.

We are happy to inform you that our processor has responded to our stop payment request on your check for $1500 [0200A6C3]. As such we will be able to credit those funds back to your Full Tilt Poker account within 48 - 72 hours.

You will receive an automated email when the funds have been deposited.

We are also pleased to tell you that we will be depositing a $100 credit to your Full Tilt Poker account along with the funds from your check. This credit is to cover any fees you have incurred and is a gesture of appreciation for your patience in this matter.

If you would like to receive a new check, please submit that request through your Full Tilt Poker window. This provides us with your authorization to process this withdrawal, and it gives you the option to withdraw a different amount than your original check if you prefer to do so.

Thank you for your patience in this matter and should you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to email us.

Regards,

Ellen
Full Tilt Poker Support"

Props to Karim.

RTR is the best rakeback affiliate in the business hands down. Glad to hear the good news, congrats.

does anyone think it's worth it to make a small cashout via check and see if it gets messed up and if it does collect a bonus?

that's a great idea. do you think up schemes to steal from your own grandmother too?

hmmm, grandma pays me $20 everytime I mow her lawn. I know. I'll come by everyday and take off a half inch. 20 bucks a day! cha ching!!

If the check is small then the bonuses are proportionately small from what I understand. I wouldn't intentionally try to strain their resources if you weren't already planning on requesting a check. I joke about my good fortune when it comes to getting bonuses but obviously I was making my regular withdrawals and did not try to cheat the system.

i already do this. the difference is my grandma pays me $20 five minutes after i finish cutting the lawn. and she gives me a nice cold glass of lemonade.

FWIW I received this same e-mail. I sent them one e-mail inquiring about my checks approved 7/15 and 7/22 (mainly the 7/15 one) and that was their reply.

Does anyone know if there is any reliable way to get my money off of FT? I really just want to sever my ties.

Got the same email last night on my 7/14 check status.

Called FedEx today. They have nothing in their system re: anything being sent to me. It's BS that I got approved on July 4th (same day I requested) and people who cashed out 2 weeks after me have cash in hand. I wish I did cash pickup. They won't let me change to it since my check has been "approved."

i posted yesterday how i got my check that was requested July 11th via fedex. When I went to deposit it today, the lady asked me if I had the rest of the check slip, so she could process it and not put a hold on it. I almost said putting a hold on it might be a good idea since their last one bounced but I caught myself lol. One other note, the check was dated for July 12th, but I did not receive it for 18 days until after the check was printed. I wonder what went on during that time. Hope everyone else starts getting theirs soon.

Just curious or maybe paranoid... Are the new checks still coming from the same processor that had the problems earlier.. The one in the bodog is in trouble thread????

No the bounced checks came from ZippyPayments. The new checks are from a Euro processor. Could also explain the 18day delivery times if they are coming from Europe.

I got the check from the new processor and it is not coming from Europe.

the fed ex shipped checks are def not from an over seas processor... the are drawn on a known bank and funds were verified over the phone before deposit

Cash pickup is the nuuuuuuuuuuuts

It's so much better to walk into the bank filled with fine ass tellers with 25 hundreds instead of a check

this is true, i remember asking my friend if we had "xxxxx mutual" here in my city because I wanted to cash it their branch to get my money. The Euro part was just the company title i guess. Im not disclosing the bank name just cuz people get yelled at everytime they name names.

obv, but people who are waiting for their checks cashed out before that was available.

Has anyone had a check actually CLEAR from the new processor yet??

yes, last week

to be more safe I probably would've changed the post as shown

i am still waiting for a 7/12 check as well. FT has my PO BOX # so I am SOL if they send it FED EX.
