Not really. I can understand people who put in high volume still being upset if the new system encourages 24-tabling nits to swarm the micro-stakes games like they do on PokerStars.

Of course this doesn't really affect me since I live in the US, but I was a winning player at micros that reached gold in Iron Man most months, and judging by what I can glean from the new setup, I would make 25% RB with no problem. But I still preferred Full Tilt simply because it was more fun to play against people who didn't know how to play poker or didn't care. There were a couple of grinder-nits at every table, and the rest were action-juicing people throwing away money, and calling stations/fish. It was a fun atmosphere. When you make policies that favor pee-in-a-bottle multitabling grinders, that's who shows up and it isn't fun anymore.

This is my situation as well. I emailed them the verification documents for my current US address. They emailed me back saying they are reviewing my account and will get back to me at some point when they're done. After a while I PM'ed Shyam. He told me that he talked to the people in charge of this and that they would contact me closer to launch to work out a payment method on a case by case basis. BTW when you're interacting with site support it's best to do so from a non-us ip. When you email them from the US, you apparently get a bunch of overworked people that don't really read what you're writing.

I still didn't get a response from the FTP support.

E-mail address I used to register at full tilt was hacked a year ago and I couldn't get it back. Nor did I really need it as it was my old e-mail address which I almost never used.
It's possible though that hacker used shopped ID to get access to my e-mail (it was ****ty internet service provider's mail service).

How can I get access to FTP now? And how do I prevent a hacker from getting access to my account?

Shyam,

the latest press release says we can use our points to redeem tournament tickets and ring came tickets. Does that mean the cash bonuses are gone?

It said there would be a "sale" discount on the tickets, not that they were the only thing you could exchange them for. Obviously they want to provide incentives for people to play the games as opposed to trying to just cash in.

Obviously they are trying to provide incentives. But capping my rakeback, eliminating Ironman and Black card haven't worked so far.

I appreciate what your saying but i would like confirmation from someone who works for FTP. Im not going to assume anything with online poker anymore.
I learnt my lesson after assuming my funds were safe in the first place.

I think I have 40k FTP points. On Nov. 6th can I convert them into cash at rate of 2.5c per ftp?

I used to be Black Card but really slowed down my play after BF as I didn't have confidence in the site to not go belly up.

What's the support email to contact? I wonder if they haven't answered because they don't have an answer?

I am wondering the inverse of your situation. I was in US on 29th, but since have moved (and now have full access on Stars). How do i figure out how to verify my account for use?

edit: and do i keep my FTPs of old? I had several hundred thousand

Just saw the "We play again" commercial on a Canadian sports channel. Must admit it got me kind of excited.

"upto $200"

I wonder if it will be like full tilt of old, ie players registered on the site for many years and silly amount of months iron man will recieve $200. The guys who logged in once in a while and payed $100 in rake life time will get $600.

All the Pokerstars not paying affiliates thing got me confused so I'm just asking (sorry, if this had been asked before).

If you, old players at FTP, would actually get to register as new players, would you wait for affiliates to get new deals at FTP or register as of Nov 6 and get FTP rewards?

Will new players be eligible for the Deal Me In promo, be kinda sad if the new player bonus is less.

Also will stars transfers count for deposits?

Yes, new players will be eligible for the standard signup bonus AND the Deal Me In bonus. Found this info in the pokerfuse article about the promo: http://pokerfuse.com/news/poker-room...l-happy-hours/

I don't think that transfers will count for deposits because they don't bring "new" money into the game, but that's just my opinion.
