My cashout to my USBank checking account just hit.

Original withdrawal: 4/14
Approved: 4/16
Reprocessed: 5/5


Still have one pending from 4/15 that was also approved initially on 4/16. I know they changed their policy to only 1 cashout per 48 or whatever hours instead of 24 but they never declined it or recredited my FTP acct. Instead, I got the email everyone got yesterday about 7 more days. Hopefully this means we all start getting our monies sooner than later. Will update on any status changes in the 2nd cashout.

I'm aware this is probably already addressed, but 1250 posts is a little much to read...
I never really play on FTP but did play a couple FTOPS events and one of them worked out, so now I need to cash out $15k plus. Are there any functional ways to do this on FTP at the moment? I'm trying to avoid paper checks as they take forever to clear and I often get the stinkeye from the bank when I cash them...plus FTP seems to have a 5k max on paper checks. Do they have a wire transfer option that's functional that I can access somehow by contacting them, or am I stuck with three paper checks?

Thanks for any help, sorry for not being 100% on topic but don't know where else to post this.

Cliff notes the best way to get your money out if you have $20k+ is a wire transfer. I dont think theyve had any problems processing those and obviously it's a lot more convenient than making a ton of bank transfers capped at $2500 each. However if you have >$15k and <$20k the best option would probably be checks as you'd only have to do 4 of them instead of twice as many bank transfers. As far as speed goes, unless this echeck problem is solved relatively quickly and goes back to what it used to be, paper would be the faster option.

Thanks Leon, that's great info. Disappointing that the wire transfer minimum is 20k. I guess I'll have to run my 17k up to 20k.

Ditto,
Now the big question what's going to be the best way to withdraw?

As of 4:10am Pacific, may 15, received in my B of A account.

Transaction initially approved: apr 17, 2008

What was your process date?

Tell you what sand, since you've already written off all your ftp money, transfer whatever balance you have to me and I'll transfer 50% of that value to you over at Poker Stars or Cake. 50% is better than nothing, right?

In fact, I'll make this over to anyone.

In all the communications I've gotten regarding my attempted withdrawal from then I never felt they had guaranteed me a definite date for when I would receive the cash. I believe they have been lied to by their vendors and passed that information on to us in good faith. However, THIS TIME they have made what I believe is an iron clad guarantee and I will hold them to it. I have been a supporter of FTP but if the cash is not in my account by next Friday I will eat crow and take my play elsewhere.

I agree I will eat crow as well. I mean this should be the end of the thread. People are starting to get their withdrawls (Slowly) but they are coming.

Actually if it isnt here by next friday the 23rd, I will go one step further on you Clown and I will eat midget poop, while watching a donkey show.

id pay to see that
