Just an FYI-
The Banks know that the processors are from gambling sites. I was contacted from my bank and they listed off the names and told me that don't allow these wire transfers anymore as they are gambling related.

Still waiting on 5 wires. The first one was approved on 12/25.

$8k requested and approved on 12/26 - received 1/4

$2.7k requested and approved on 1/3 - received 1/5.

Around $38 in fees taken from each

are you sure your waiting on premium bank wires and not bank transfers?

Yes 100% I even made a small $300 one with the transfer instead of wire just to see how much longer it took without fees.

Req 1/3
Rec 1/5

can someone please explain to me what I have to do to utilize this "premium bank withdrawal" option on FTP? How I sign up & deposit using this option, etc...

Please give me some info on this ASAP!

Had 2 VIP FTP wires approved then rejected by my bank and sent back. They finally let me go back to the old system of wiretransfer@fulltiltpoker.com and it was approved Monday late afternoon received today.

I don't think I did anything special to get that option... I just looked at my cashier one day and it was there. Try emailing cashier at fulltiltpoker.com maybe?

Were the wiretransfers for sums of money up to $10,000? Or, what are the limits available?

I switched to paying for these about a month ago when the transfer method became too frusturating. I have made 4 wd's and have gotten them all in less than 48 hours.

req 1-5
rec 1-6

Today they emailed me and asked for the transaction #'s. Should I be worried at this point?I kind of wish they would just cancel all my transactions and put the money back in my account at this point. Its very nerve racking when you have 5 figures in limbo.

if you want the $$$ back in ft acct i'm sure they will do that. I wouldn't be worried if I were you because these generally have been going through. Even if you look at the transfer thread those who are panic mode, like i've been, eventually get their dough. It's unfortunate that you are having troubles with premium wire. It appears you are in the minority experiencing diffuclties. Hope everything works out for ya. I'm sure it will tho paying for these and waiting is bs.

I have been waiting for my premium wire since December 19. I know it's hard to believe. They used to take one day only for me. I have emailed them a dozen times and they just won't do anything about it. I asked them to show me a receipt or proof that it was sent. This has been horrendous, waiting with no explanation. I am not playing there until I get my money.

I have had all these same letters sent to me that really didn't apply. I guess the 19th of December was just a bad day for wire transfers at Full Tilt. I doubt we will ever get that money, the way they are blowing us off. Meanwhile the bank transfer people all got a $50.00 credit because their transfers didn't go through.
Good luck us.

I put in a request for a bank transfer on 12/21 and originally they told me it would take up to 15 days. I got this today at the 16 day mark.

Surely they cant just tell us we are SOL can they?
Have you gotten an email asking for transaction numbers?

I am waiting on one from the 20th & 22nd.

Getting very worried here.

Wire?

If the bank rejects the wire what happens to the money?

it gets put back in your FT account

The bank rejected my wire on Monday, no money has been put back into my full tilt account. How long does this generally take?
