Hi, guys,

I know this is not exactly the place for this post but maybe someone can help me out with my FTP problem. Last year (after Black Friday and I am not from US) I won WSOP ME package on Full Tilt Poker. One of the promotions was guaranteed seat in 2012 ME if I cash last year. http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/series-...ent-experience

So I cashed last year and I was waiting for FTP takeover to happen to get some kind of answer from the new owners about my case as probably they would take over all FTP liabilities. But with the Bernard Group now being out of the picture and as PS takeover process isnt resolving anytime soon I am looking for someone who could assist me with getting the answer from FTP as WSOP ME starts in a month.

While I understand that the whole FTP situation is a mess I would like to get response from somebody with authority about my case and not just easily give 10k seat away. I dont think I will get serious answer from support (if someone still answers those mails) and I am looking for someone who is "higher ranked" whom I could talk to.
If there is anyone on 2+2 with connection in FTP or knows somebody who could help me out please contact me by email durantula355@hotmail.com Basically any assistance in this matter would be much appreciated.

You will not be getting that seat. The company has no money to pay you. If the deal goes through you may eventually see 10k. I'm probably not the authority you're looking for, but it's the truth.

I wouldn't count on that happening.

You'll see the BI of that tournament you played to qualify with back at the most. Forget the WSOP

Soooooooooo, news this week?

Maybe next week

Ya sit by the computer it's coming any second.

Read the last couple of pages to see if I could get a handle on what use full tilt could be to pokerstars. Is it simply that ps paying out full tilt player balances would help the doj, and so help pokerstars in their settlement and (I guess) possibly increase the likelihood pokerstars has of getting back into the us post regulation?

Realistically, PS is unlikely to ever get back into the US market.

You must be delusional. NO ONE has received their money. They will not make a special exception for you. The company is broke man. I am pretty sure you wont even see the 10k in cash if PS ever takes over because that amount wont show up in your cashier. There are bigger problems than this and no one is going to waste any time on this.

Thanks for the reply. t I am genuinely interested in this simply because I have a vested interested in the future online poker landscape - I don't have money on ftp.

I do find it hard to see the value in ftp to ps, given that I can't see how ftp is worth the cost of player deposits to any third party. Maybe ftp is worth the price of player deposits to ps just to have ftp's brand and software off the market..?
I do see value if ps taking as long as they can over 'due diligence' as the brand and software continue to depreciate with every passing day/month. I realise there are probably parts to this picture I am completely missing.

I agree that it is unlikely to get this seat but at least I would like to get the answer from somebody within company not only forum members who are angry at FTP. I guess they still must have someone employed there. Therefore I am asking if anybody here knows somebody who is still connected with FTP so that I could talk to them.

So you think your situation is special, huh?

You will likely find that most of the FTP "higher ups" will not talk to you under advice from their lawyers, but so what, they would just lie if they did , or at best be totally ignorant of your problem. Good Luck to you sir!

I dont think its special but its different. If somebody buys them and decision is made to pay out all balances of players it will be done. However, for me to get my 10k will be more difficult as that money wont be in my cashier. Therefore at least I would like to hear from them directly that they dont have this amount at the moment but are aware of it so I have chance to get it back once the take over happens.

Actually it's not that different because I won a package too last year and I chose the money, and the money is still there so...

Not sure what you meant by that. I just want to contact them so that they are aware of the situation. I have money locked up in my FTP account as well so I am with you guys.

If there was anyway of getting in contact with Full Tilt directly you would be at the back of a long line of people who showed an interest before you.

For the, I don't know, 50th time or so, here are two things you aren't allowed to do in this thread:

1) Solicit offers to buy or sell FTP funds
2) Attack/insult each other

If you don't like what a poster has to say, either respond/debate politely or don't ****ing respond at all.

How did you win a 2012 WSOP ME package when FTP was shut down prior to the 2011 WSOP ME?

Belong together these things do not

It was part of their 2011 WSOP ME promotion. If a player qualifies on FTP and cashes then they give you a seat for 2012 ME. Managed to cash last year and therefore would like to remind them that they still owe me the seat this year. Just dont know whom to report it..

Trust me, that was way more polite than what I wanted to say.
