Hi all,
Quick update since yesterday:
There have definitely been a few issues that we need to work through before going live for real money play, but that's why we're doing this week's play money test. We're confident the vast majority of these issues will be cleared up before Tuesday.
One fairly obvious issue is that support is dealing with a very high volume of emails right now as they try to help get players online. It's not necessary to send multiple emails about the same topic, they will get to everyone. We’re still clearing the cobwebs and ironing out the kinks, and we appreciate your patience over the next few days.
We also just put out a small client update that included a fix for the problems people were having with the "Change Password" dialog as well as a fix for Mac users who had crashing issues when trying to update or install the game software.
Some questions I can give immediate answers to:
1. Why doesn’t authentication-support@fulltiltpoker.com work?
- This (and
loginsupport@fulltiltpoker.com) should be working now. Sorry about that, just one of those cobwebs.
2. No bonus offers are currently being shown for me, do we have to wait till the 6th to see our "Deal Me In" and Iron Man bonuses?
- Yes, the bonus offer from Deal Me In will be available on the 6th when real money is available.
3. Can anyone pair with PokerStars? I only get a message that this feature will be available in my region soon.
- Account pairing is being rolled out gradually, but it should now be available to almost everyone that will be getting that feature.
4. I get prompted to verify my ID again, even though I did this a few weeks back. I re-sent my ID and proof of address. Will this be handled quickly?
- Everyone who has already gone through the verification process as of a couple of weeks ago should now have access to their account. You should no longer be prompted to send in more verification documents.
5. My friend is getting the "Enter your Credit Card Details" screen when he tries to login but he doesn't have his old bank card any more. What should he do?
- This is just one of the added account security checks that we've put in place for the first time you log back in. He could potentially avoid that particular check if he logs in with a previously used computer. If that's not possible, he'll probably need to submit verification documents to support.
6. Does anybody know the email contact for problems relating to accounts?
-
support@fulltiltpoker.com is the address. Before writing to support, though, I highly recommend looking at the latest FAQs here:

If you can't find an answer to your question and need to write to support, please try to be patient with them over the next few days.
7. When will the game be available to download for US players?
- We're working on a resolution to this issue. Hopefully US players will be able to download the software and play for play money soon.
