I've heard it plenty, and I'm one of the email-less. A better phrasing would be "and that's the question that no one seems able to answer." Me included.

Have a bad feeling about our situation

How did you know my exact balance?

no email - hotmail with rakeback also

I found my email very deep in my spam box. I'd bet they have characteristics of junk email imbedded in these things, increasing the chance that people don't/can't file within the 2 month window. Tricky bastards!

I have $1750, would be willing to sell for 1300.... if anyone is interested PM me. If not the right spot, mods please move to correct thread.

I know this wasnt directed to me but it applies to me also. I see you need an ITIN in order to get an EIN I think. The fulltilt form requires a SSN or EIN and doesnt mention a ITIN.

yeah that's not how it works, they used different processors for different withdrawals and obviously they didn't all have the same success rate. I never received a premium bank wire that was approved on March 3rd.

niether email here, msn email, which is through the same thing as hotmail i think. also have underscore in my email dont know if that has anything to do with it also had rakeback.

Sending in bank statements to prove you didn't deposit a check there really proves nothing. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has more then 1 bank account. Also if you cash a check, it doesn't show in the statements either.

Now for bank wires and bank transfers if they have access to what account the money was suppose to goto (which I dunno if they do), it could be proved the money was never received.

No email for me (hotmail account).

Guess Santa knows I was a bad boy this year

You're gonna have to contact GCG and get an official answer from them

I'm going to assume that this is not an isolated case.

So should closed accounts be allowed to receive remissions?

***note: I believe that they should be allowed to apply for remissions, obviously.

I got a complete account history since I opened my FTP account. I never signed up to be an affiliate and I didn't find any kind of affiliate payment credit transactions in the history. I don't even know how those credits would be coded.

I did find some transactions that may have triggered my account to be flagged, but I'm not sure. It's the only thing I can think of. Prior to July 30, 2010, rakeback payments from rakebackpros were coded as "affiliate to player". July 30, 2010 going forward they started coding them as "rakeback payment". Also, the rake contests held by rakebackpros were coded as "affiliate promotion".

I'm very frustrated. My next step is to forward the spread sheet to GCG and explain the transactions that have the word "affiliate" in the transaction type and that i'm not an affiliate. I would appreciate any suggestions.

FWIW, I also have a hotmail account.

When you log on are you not seeing a balance? What problems are you having?

I have the same tags in my acct ""affiliate to player" and didn't get an email. However, a friend of mine has them as well and did get his email

I have a hard time believing you have any bank account with statements like that.

I never got an email so I contacted GCG. They called me back to tell me I wouldn't be getting an email because my account is flagged as an affiliate account. I never signed up as an affiliate, never referred any players, and never received one penny of affiliate compensation. I have no idea how this happened. GCG said I should send them the transaction history and make a write up in MSWord explaining the situation.

Damn, that is scary. Did you have a rakeback account?

Yeah, I don't know.

Same exact situation here, except that they didn't tell me I was tag as an affiliate or I didn't ask them clearly if I were. I had rakeback from raketherake, and in the early dates, the rakeback payments were send to me as "affiliate to player, even though I never refer anyone, or received any payments from affiliate thing.

Yes, with rakebackpros.

I lost $1200 at 1am April 16. According to the 15th rule, I should have 1200 more in my balance. I haven't filed my remission yet because I'm not sure if I'm enititled to that 1200. Should I just the add the extra 1200 to my remission and then send my account file showing the extra 1200 in it on April 15. My total balance is showing the losses on the 16th.

Just wondering if it worth my trouble to try to get he extra 1200 or if I should just accept the number they gave me. Thanks

Affiliate to player is simply your rakeback payments. There is nearly 0 chance that people who received rakeback will be shut out. I imagine the reason affiliates are getting screwed is because the DoJ sees them as some sort of marketing contractor or partner. Just a random guess.

My suggestion would be to continue reading this thread over the next week or so and see what other people are reporting with regards to filing their own petition or disputing a claim. You have two months to gather information and make a case for yourself. Try not to become frustrated on day 2. It is a very complex situation and it can't be solved overnight. GL.

You played poker and you lost. IMO, you aren't entitled to the extra money.
