Yes yes, things are shaping up nicely. Moving quicker than I had anticipated too. Hoping maybe they (stars) will be ready for cashouts by the second week in May? Anyone else with any conjectures on this timeframe?

no luck yet for FTP in the US?

Crap -- the check I deposited from FTP on Black Friday bounced three days after my bank appeared to accept it.

they have sent some e-mails out they say NOT to cash it. Im sure you sent them an e-mail so expect the funds to be put in your ps account soon.

When can we start cashing out?

Anyone see this about FTP. I am getting worried that FTP isn't going to be able to pay anyone. I have lots of money frozen on there.

ha.. same question, hopefully sooner than later

Yup, my check from Full Tilt Poker just bounced today. ARGGHHH we honestly better get this money back. If not, every single Full Tilt Pro should consider never stepping into a card room again. There will be many people extremely upset with them and they may get robbed.

hey just wanted to post that i cashed out 3 checks prior to the 4/15 black friday all within 2 weeks of when it happened and only 1 check was actually sent out to me according to pokerstars support (the rest was put back into my account)

anyways, the one check which i cashed out on 4/7/11 i received today and it was different looking than the others that i'd received in the past...The check was also dated 4/18/11 and the check was said to be from "The National Bank of Singapore"...the check also said payment to my name than below that it said "cash at Bank of America, NY" written right on the check...btw i dont have an acct with bank of america

so i took it down to my bank and was told by 4 different ppl that they'd never seen a check like this before..i got questioned about where this was from/if i was expecting it..they made like 5 different phone calls and they kept having to fax over copies of what my check looked like in order to decide if i could even deposit it. I was there for nearly an hour when the lady finally told me that they thought my check was a fake check..she told me i could still try to deposit it and that it would be a 10$ fee if it bounced...she kept urging me not to cash the check (which was for 1k) bc she was saying she thought it would bounce..

idk if she just doesnt have any common sense or what, but IMO its worth the risk of a 10$ fee for a chance at having the 1k put in my acct if u ask me lol so i deposited it...ill be sure to give an update ITT for anyone who cares--i figured at the least if it is fake i can mb post on here and save some of u guys an hour or so at the bank or something

I'd be willing to bet that their paychecks aren't bouncing or they wouldn't silent like they are now. Especially UB/AP pros that said it's has new owners trust us it is safe now.

what bank? im on the east coast to.

I had 2 eChecks clear my bank on Apr15 and Apr13 - money is still there (Apr25) - lucky withdrawal timing on my part (Apr13 and Apr11, respectively).

I feel somewhat positive in getting my remaining funds back from Stars. Not so sure if my funds were on FTP.

Going to miss playing poker on-line (and the 2+2 pokercast league), but life goes on. Luckily I live close to a few card rooms in the SF Bay Area (Lucky Chances, Bay101, Garden City, AJs), but it sucks playing in them as the action is slow, and many players are stinky, low-life, angle shooters (and the rake is high). I started in B&M card rooms before on-line - guess I will end-up there if I want to play.

good luck to all.

Lucky Chances it is. Sucks though since the smallest NL game is 200NL. Guess I'll take my small roll and play limit instead.

the email they sent me didnt say that

but i have no problem waiting, i just want direction

Same thing happened to me. Got the weird check, brought it to the bank, they made a lot of calls and pretty much said they didn't know. So I decided to wait and just hold on to it. Luckily I did, because yesterday Pokerstars emailed me saying that the check will bounce and to throw it away and they credited the amount back to my account. And it sounds like my check looked just like you described yours, so more than likely you're gonna be paying that $10 fee

my check from ps went through...i requested it on liek the 9th. ps confirmed that it was legit.

same for me, they confirmed, going to the bank soon, will let you know if it goes through.

a check you received went through as in cleared at the bank?

new update 2day MAKES u withdrawl ur full amount @ ps w/ a check

Question for those who had paper checks from pre-Black Friday cashouts: in days, how long did it take for the check to bounce?

I requested a cashout a week prior to Black Friday, deposited it on April 20 and have checked the account more or less daily ever since. As of about midnight last night, the check has not come back as an RDI. I'm not sure how long I need to wait until I'm safe, although I've heard (or read) that it can take several weeks.

Per request of the moderators, I will not name the payment processor. However, I will say the check arrived via DHL and was drawn from a bank already mentioned in this thread but not listed among the seized accounts in the DOJ indictment.

Edit: just called the bank to check my activity and to see how it will appear in my transactions (i.e. when I call the automated system). So as of this post, the check still has held up. The rep said if it has gone this long, I'll be fine. Oh, if she only knew...

Lmao so glad I stayed loyal to Pstars to all these years. Already have my roll cashed out. Feel bad for people at FTP, really? No accounting?

Just so everyone knows:

I live in Michigan.

I cashed out via e-check tuesday, and received a message that it was approved and would be in my bank account in 3-10 days.

Funds showed up in my account today (2 days since cashout). Props to PS. They have my business if they ever make a comeback in the US.

Same here. Requested Tuesday and in my account today via echeck.

no more pending transcations for me. so should be here in a few days

also, the check i received from my 4/12 cashout went through my bank...
