Changes to Account Balance

Tournament Tickets

All tournament tickets that had a real money value and expired during the interruption to our service or were scheduled to expire before February 1, 2013 have been converted to their T$ equivalent.

Ring Game Tickets

All ring game tickets that expired after the site went offline on June 29th, 2011 with a real money balance have been converted to their real money equivalent.

Running Tournaments

All tournaments that were still in progress when the site went offline on June 29th, 2011 were cancelled and paid out according to our tournament cancellation rules.

Initial Deposit and Reload Bonuses

Any bonuses that were not purchased and were still active when the site went offline on June 29th, 2011 have since expired. If there was any cleared portion of the bonus that hadn't been released yet, that cleared amount has been credited to the bonus holder's account.

Purchased Bonuses

Any bonuses that were purchased in the FTP Black Card Store, Iron Man Store, or Full Tilt Academy Store and were still active when the site went offline on June 29th, 2011 have since expired. If there was any cleared portion of the bonus that hadn't been released yet, that cleared amount has been credited to the bonus holder's account. In addition, the remainder of the bonus has been refunded on a pro-rated basis in the same currency the bonus was purchased in. For example, if you paid 28,500 FTPs for a $100 bonus and cleared $50 before the site went offline, you have been refunded 14,250 FTPs.

Refer-a-Friend

Any players that were referred through the refer-a-friend program have been granted an additional 90 days to achieve the Refer-A-Friend Milestone rewards.

I requested a withdrawal from my account shortly before the site went down. What happened to my funds?

All outstanding withdrawals at the time the site went down, remained un-processed. We have accounted for every un-processed transaction (made using any payment method; Check, Credit Card or Online Wallet for example) and all affected accounts have had the appropriate credit made to their balance.

I completed a deposit shortly before the site went down. What happened to my funds?

All deposits which were 'In Processing' at the time the site went down, have been cancelled and no funds have been credited to player accounts. These 'Failed' deposits will have no impact on the balance of your account and you will be able to check this on your applicable payment method statement.

I was in the process of completing a Player to Player transfer when the site went down. What happened to those funds?

All Player to Player transfers which were 'In Processing' when the site went down, have been cancelled. The balance of the player receiving the transaction (recipient) was not affected in any way. The balance of the player initiating the transaction (sender) has been credited with the original transaction amount.

I think they will make it up for it. Send email to full tilt support , They most likely give a better response. On the FAQ it says they will convert to FTP points.

I think I recall him answering someone elses post that has the same problem as you. Someone had answered its a real problem area and you may have to wait untill its relaunched. Since your address was changed pre June deadline to an address outside the US, but since that time you moved back to the US so you can no longer confrim your ROW address you basicly in no mans land.

Chances are you will end up being classed as a US player.

Will fulltilt also be covered (banned) on your 'pokeredge' and other stats sites where people can look each other up, without playing at their tables, the same way as pokerstars is covered ( banned). I just looked up my Fulltilt screenname and it shows all my stats on pokeredge.

I recognize we're both speculating but I think it's very unlikely he would be re-classed again as a US player. If his account was confirmed non-US before June 29th, the DOJ will never have money for him but the new FTP will faithfully keep it in his account until he can retrieve it.

As to how this can be accomplished, only a few things come to mind:
1. get a valid out-of-US address again and go through verification to withdraw there
2. wait for poker to be legal in the US again and withdraw then
3. various other methods that are probably against the terms of service so I definitely don't recommend going there

If you really need that money now and it's a worthwhile amount (considering the hassle), I suggest option 1.

If you can afford to wait or the amount is small enough that option 1 is not worth the trouble, I suggest option 2.

Option 3 is a bad idea no matter the amount.

You really need to stop with your bs. You're causing real harm to people by misleading them when you have no clue what's going on. Shyam specifically denied that to me via pm. I gave this guy his answer earlier this week in this thread.

I didn t think he was verified as ROW, I had assumed he just updated his address with no verification. I would think now, if he was verified as ROW before June 29th, perhaps FTP should accept that without asking him to do it again.

You're not helping. Victims of this crime don't deserve to be misinformed. Unlike you some of us have a lot on the line here. If you're not sure, leave the answering to someone who is.

This ones for you *******, from the OP FAQ.

23. What if someone had a ROW account before June 29 but has since moved back to the US. I know they are considered ROW but what if they don't have access to those particular bank accounts from ROW and the address for check mailing purposes. How will withdrawals work then?

- It's safe to say nobody knows the answer to that question just yet. Plenty of people are working through all the various issues that are part of this relaunch, and you can be sure that when it's all said and done there will be a process to withdraw any money in your account.

Like I said, I spoke to him via pm last week. I posted about it in this thread. Also you think I haven't read that answer 50 times in the last 3 months? I don't think you get what people are going through here.

Here's a cut and paste from the first page. Guess I was a little off.

But you didn't. That's the problem. Instead you would have given him something to worry about when there was no need.

No more questions will be answered by Shyam in this thread so effectively, from here on out, we'll be back to speculative bs.

I did however get support@fulltiltpoker.com to confirm earlier that my (and most likely everyone else's) pending withdrawal will be returned to my account (after review etc) ready for withdrawal in time for relaunch.

SO MUCH WIN.

Where'd this info come from? If it's true it would seem like they're changing the academy away from instant reward based learning (that was why it was awesome). Sorry for seeming like a broken record but once again MORE like stars haha. Smart business i suppose.. Atleast they're converting previous points to FTP least I can get a few mini-FTOPS tickets out of it.
