WAT? I thought the cash pickup was going in a matter of hours???? Guess I will be waiting to see what happens with this.

Just got my bonus and money back. Two thumbs up on full tilt for coming through again and working hard to resolve the problems.

I really hope this is sarcasm.

Has anyone else who is waiting on checks received no email from FTP in the last two days? Even an email would be great at this point.

Anyone else able to get a check approved?

I requested a check for $3k on Mon and they still have not approved it yet.

lmao

me

requested 7/31, approved 8/2, not here yet

because the story is AWFUL for the game. keeping the integrity of the game in as positive light as possible for the public eye is more important than a processor that gets shut down and inconveniences a group of players. there was no money stolen, just awful delays. there is no need to cut off the head of the snake over a bunch of bounced checks.

i too would like the answer to this please.

what's the date that the checks became "good" again? i.e. were they all fine after the july 12th issue?

No, my cashout from 7/27 was also affected and reimbursed to my account this morning.

If that "positive" light is an untruth, then why shouldn't the truth (i.e. what is actually happening) be reported by a credible source (credible is a stretch). The state of online poker is at its worst and is only getting worse. This is due to government restriction, I am aware, but when one company is having massive problems for months, while another is having no problems, why should a lid be kept on such information?

I think even a 60 minutes story would be good for the game. The more people are informed about poker and the skill involved, the easier it will be to play legally and hassle-free, not to mention the fact that more fish would be playing. Granted, the scandals being shown on such a scope would look bad, but with regulation these would be harder to perpetrate, and I could get ****ing paid the money I am owed.

ty for answering.

does anyone know if a check approved on aug. 1st will be a problem?

sigh

Weird, i guess there was a couple of weeks where the checks were ok because
i had one

Requested 7/21
Approved 7/22
Received 7/26 (CA processor, i'm in boston)

I wonder if there are problems again? I had one approved aug 2nd that I havent got yet, but that is still well within the normal waiting period so i dont know if there is a problem or not.

first, i fully understand your frustration. however, a 60 minutes expose is likely to NOT include the skill argument and the positives of regulation. just like all media, 99% of the story will be online poker = illegal, americans are getting ripped off, and teens are degenerating.

an insightful story about senator al, the PPA, regulation and the skill argument would not make as good tv.

my 2cents

I guess your best option would be to find a reliable person to transfer funds too on full tilt who can return the favor on stars. Sorry about all the troubles i've seen you have on here. Hope something works out for you soon!

Best of luck.

Does this mean that checks requested since the original e-mail arent being approved? I requested one after recieveing the original e-mail and it is still processing. Has anyone else been approved?

Hm. I got the same email. I've already put in for a cash pickup, so it's fine, but have they really narrowed things down to a single withdrawal option for US players? That's pretty crazy.

WHAT THE F IS CASH PICK UP? Apparently that is my only option now. I've been trying to get the remainder of my money off of that site for months.

They've made over 50,000 dollars off of me in rake and they can't even mail a check to me??? Jesus christ.

Requested cash pickup at noon on the 7th, and received my reference number at 9:30pm same day.

Wow.. how much was it for?

Ugh, I don't want to have to stand in that line and worry about getting mugged coming out, lol.

Requested: 7/29
Approved: 8/1

Have not received any correspondence or a check.

It's frustrating trying to get the bulk of my roll into a savings account so that I don't have to worry about lag times when I just can't get ahead of the lag times to save my life. I guess I'll just have to man up and hit up Cash Pickup for $2500 every few days, lol. Maybe Bank Transfer will come back online as FTPDoug indicated it might.

here was my last check.

so they aren't doing checks anymore?

what's the deal?

(also, it's kinda irritating that after the big update they didn't change the check limits from 5K to 3K since ive been told 3k is the max now)

Use cash pickup. Having a lot of money on you sucks when you leave especially if there is a crowd behind you but keep in mind wallyworld has more cameras than a camera store outside. At least 20 on top of the ones here and thats not counting the ones on the light poles of the parking lot that you can't see as good.
