God, this **** is still ongoing. I feel for you all. I feel so lucky mine was clear cut case and even than had to wait what I felt was too long. Godspeed to all.

Has anyone asked about what the criteria is for the round supposedly going out next week?

Haven't received any ACH's as of yet...

I did when I spoke with christopher who is supposedly in charge now. he said they are still waiting for the doj to tell them who to include in this wave. Maybe he was trying to soften the blow of me not getting paid again. this whole "we understand your frustration, but you're going to get your money" is a huge joke of an answer

anything "next week" would be a positive compared to most expectations (I would assume) of June 30th

I emailed the generic email address to ask about the status of my disputed payout. Christopher called me and said that they expect the next wave to be at the end of June but couldn't guarantee. He said that they approved my dispute but the DOJ also had to. But also it would be very likely.

Can you provide any details about your case?

I e-mailed them for like the 9th time recently about where the check for my undisputed balance is and got this response:

My address has been listed on the website for over a year now. I have sent multiple emails in the past requesting a check to be sent to my foreign address since I don't have an active American bank account. I didn't get included in any of the initial wave(s) of payments for whatever reason (none given) and then I don't get included in the latest one on March 31, 2015 because that's only for people with disputed balances and since mine isn't disputed I don't get included? The time I contacted them prior to this on March 11, 2015 I asked where the check was and I was told:

How many people with undisputed balances still haven't been paid yet? I've checked this thread pretty regularly and read most of the posts and it seems like everyone else waiting to be paid at this point have some issue affecting it like having been an affiliate or having a disputed balance. I would have thought that having neither of those or any other issues with my petition would have meant that I was to be included in the latest wave on March 31, but I obviously wasn't since I'm making this post... am I missing something?

you should call them

I am in the wave that has a dispute larger than x, and is more than y% of my total balance. I can't remember the variables off hand, but there has not been any group or wave so far where I thought I should be included based on those criteria.

Emailed full tilt. This was the response.

Dear Mike,

Thank you for your email. Your petition is in good standing and, if approved by the Department of Justice, you will be included in the next round of payments, which we expect will be issued by the end of the Second Quarter.

Please continue to check the administration website at www.fulltiltpokerclaims.com for information regarding future payments to approved Petitioners.

They e-mailed me back today and said I would be included in the next wave, guess I just have to wait now.

A PM from Pappas (PPA) a few days ago:

Does next Tuesday mean today or a week from today?

he said next tuesday not on tuesday.

i just have this gross feeling the next payout is going to include like 50 people like seaking and joetall who just corrected or resubmitted lost data.

thanks for the good work guys, keep digging!

Who the f knows. Still nothing here, no $0 ACH, no updates. I'm calling today and will post back when I get through.

Hello all -- I spoke today with our contact at AFMLS and got some info, but expect additional details later in the week. What I can share now is info on the current petitions under review and estimated timetable for when funds could arrive.

The current pool under review includes 1) some petitioners who disputed their petition based on an incomplete withdrawal that we have subsequently been able to match to FTP data; 2) petitioners who filed without login credentials that have been matched to FTP accounts and either claim the balance on record or fall within the de minimus thresholds previously identified by DOJ; 3) a very small number of pro players who provided appropriate documentation and 4) possibly some additional petitioners who confirmed their balances and have subsequently provided updated information to GCG as requested.

My contact estimated that this next wave would cover about 2,000 petitions and approximate $4 million in funds. The AFMLS audit is complete for this wave, however, there still needs to be sign offs from SDNY, Dept. Treasury and DoJ. I am told that funds should be available for players by end of August -- this however is a VERY conservative estimate (their words not mine) -- and that it is likely that remmission could come much sooner.

Again, I hope to connect later in the week with the AFMLS and will post with additional details.

Mr. Pappas,

Thanks for the update and your continued communication with the DOJ.

To the rest of us,

You can't spell AFMLS without FML

LOL. It has been a long road for many of you. We are doing our best.

So do I understand this correctly? The next wave does not include disputed accounts over 20% of the balance and may be as late as August? This is just lol

It might be wishful thinking but maybe some of these people would fall into category 1)? idk

I hope that because I just woke up and that my math is wrong but that sounds like it's an average of $2,000/person which seems kinda low for disputed accounts.


Oddly enough, I just spoke with Christopher @ GCG (he called me 24 hours after I emailed the general line) and he seemed to think we were good by Q2 (I'm disputing about 40% of my balance).

are you disputing more than 2000.00?

as my initial gut feeling before Pappas' post I think us larger disputed cases are still hung out to dry even longer. so deflating.

It's still just baffling how information can be on hand backing up our disputes for 2 years and it seems as though it's just sitting there collecting dust.

John's post stated 1) petitioners who disputed based on an incomplete withdrawal that we matched.... he used it as singular not plural, so if we have multiple withdrawals that were not paid, we get pushed back and 2) fall within the de minimus threshholds....which is 2K/20 percent which would indicate none of the disputes over 2k would be paid out in this wave.

my just sinks every time there is an update

Spoke with Christopher as well and he said my claim is in good standing and I should expect to receive payment by the end of Q2 pending DOJ approval. Dispute is over 50% of account balance.

John - any luck finding out if disputes over $2k, but less than 20% of balance will be included in this round?
