maybe their processor(s) in November got shut down and FTP no longer has accesss to the collected / uncollected deposits & they dont want to double bill.

they are,

the only problem is that nobody asked or wanted a loan in the first place. Thats a big difference.

Agree..... its gonna cause some serious issues for people in the future if those funds are not there for the taking when FT comes for the money.

I'm just hopeful that they will send out a email prior to removing the money so everyone can make sure the funds are in there at the time. I understand there's probably a group of people out there who will say "dont play with money you dont have", or something like that, but the truth is the majority of gamblers are degenerates and are willing to risk the float on the chance of winning money. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of people who wont have the funds in their account to cover their debt...This could get really interesting....I just wish they would inform us on whats going on with the 3rd party processor, I hate being left in the dark....

Make several max deposits (I think $600), do enough so you get up to about $100,000 then cancel and withdraw all your money from the bank account you deposited from. If they try to recover it from you through collection agencies then either:
1. Flee the country
2. Get a lawyer and try and get off on how they are a borderline illegal enterprise trying to illegally obtain your money (if you are an America)

If they try to obtain the money through physical harm then either:
1. Get a gun
2. Flee the country

Simple as that my friend.

I think this is all borderline hilarious personally. While I have just enough moral fiber to not deposit and then close my bank account I'm not suprised at all its being done, and I blame FTP for it. FTP could easily avoid this by employing the same methods stars does of not being able to withdraw/transfer funds that have not cleared. It is laughable that they allow you to deposit from one account and withdraw to another instantly (as I know you can) without throwing up ALL kinds of red flags. Of course the issues would then be people depositing over the course of a week or a month and taking 5k to a 25/50 table and trying to run good for a few mins and picking up a few k and then getting up withdrawing and trying all over again until they bust and waiting another month and trying again.

So bottomline, would I steal from FTP? No. Do I know people who are/have? Yes. Do I approve of it? Absolutely not, but if you leave thousands of dollars lying around where degenerate gamblers can get their hands on it, what do you expect is going to happen? FTP FTL!

are they still not processing anything? i did a quick deposit today (1st one in months) for 100 bucks since its the first and limit goes up in 5 days.. It was said to hit with "MAS" as processor who is currently working with the feds.. so i am assuming they are just floating money to their customers?

Someone let me know if anything has hit for FTP quick deposit in the past 2 weeks.. i am from IL one of the states that is banned for pokerstars, so not sure how FTP woul dbe able to do it unless they have a better processor..

Also something to note is that Absolute poker IS able to process echeck deposits somehow to my state? Not sure how thye can get it done, and these two big boys cannot?

why limit to a 100?

someone let me know if this will clear soon or sitll in delay period?

If not them why not just let me me do the whole 600?

$100 is the max until your first deposit clears. After your first deposit clears your deposit limit goes up.

8 deposits still haven't cleared my account since Nov 21st 2010.

until one clears i doubt your deposit limit will go up

my question is if they are clearing now, not ones in november..

thanks in advance

I havent had one clear recently....

Any company taking money for the purpose of any gaming over the net or phone is illegal which is why they will never get their money.

None whatsoever unless they keep the account open and don't keep enough money to cover the deposit and will get hit with NSF fees. If they close the account FTP has no way of getting anything or going after them. They are an illegal company doing business outside the US.

so a deposit made today wont clear? or they are still not working?

just curious.. if not htenwhy not let me do full 600

Ive made a couple deposits over the last couple weeks and none of them have cleared...I also have deposits from early November 2010 that havent cleared.....

... and which law is that exactly?

Deposits usually take around 2 weeks to clear from my current bank. When I was using a different bank that rhymes with Hank of amerikuh deposits would sometimes take 30-60 days to clear on FT. The longest deposit ever though belongs to Pokerstars...I once had a deposit clear 6 months afterwards. I thought I was scammed out of a grand until I contacted pstars and looked through my banking records.

UIGEA

Thank you, it's funny how people refuse to accept reality because it doesn't fit their belief. Online poker is illegal folks. Saying it's not doesn't make it so.

Care to elaborate????

What "NEW" Law did UIGEA make that made online poker illegal????

What underlining Law does UIGEA rely on to make online poker illegal????

Ever hear of re..Mastercard???

Online poker is not illegal. UIGEA makes processors that process gambling transactions illegal.

The law clearly states that anybody that takes any form of deposit over the phone or internet for the purpose of gaming is illegal. What is so hard to understand? You can continue to drink the kool aide and subscribe to the "online poker is not illegal" but you sound foolish and silly.

Of course it's true that you as a player can't be prosecuted and since the sites hide offshore they can't be touched but it doesn't change the facts. Facts that if your funds are frozen or stolen you have no recourse and if you get cheated by a bot or collusion you have no recourse as well. It's like NY. We have underground poker rooms that are illegal. When they get raided the players are never arrested but you lose your money and the owners go to jail. Shall I say that it means poker in NY is not illegal? LOL get a grip pal.

Trying to educate you is a waste of time...You have obviously never read the UIGEA nor do you have a single drop of understanding...You just keep spewing....

If the UIGEA "clearly states" as you claim please provide the proper citation..While you are at please provide another citation that provides evidence to strengthening and/or amending the 61 Wire Act or any other Federal Law that nullifies the verdict in the re..Mastercard Case....Did not think so...

Well, the good news is there was only one person that thought the UIGEA makes online poker illegal (I mean, everyone here knows you're a lost cause or a simple troll, so you don't count).
