Anyone else notice that all the FTP point store Ipods are "out of stock". Must have been a huge buyout of items with all those points when the @#$ hit the fan...now i'm stuck with 200k plus points and no 64GB Ipod touch....

It took a long time and lots of patience to grind up my roll, both on Stars and Tilt. No reason to withdraw, cloud my roll mgmt, cloud my goals... Yeah build it into a REAL roll... I finally started to believe. But the bell tolls, for everyone...

For those in US worried about their money on stars/ft:

I'm not in the US so I can take your funds and if I manage to take it out of ps/ft I'll give most of it back but I'll take my cut. If interested pm. [not 100% sure if this is possible, still going through this thread].

edit: Someone let me know if there is something wrong with this.

Mr. Holliday's expertise seems to be more in the business than the legal sphere. That he likens this to a bank failure shows his ignorance.

Was able to download the client finally from the UK site for FTP and spend my points in the store.

Still can't withdraw or transfer though.

Lol, Its more me helping people and taking a small percentage for my time and effort and ofcourse risk to my accounts/roll.

I'd say its better for people to get 90%+ of their roll back than nothing.

Eh no as I have no idea at the chance of it clearing (and hence why nobody in their right mind would give u 90c+ for a ftp/stars dollar right about now).

Read the T&Cs carefully. I think you will find that if you receive a transfer, you have to use it to play poker, not withdraw it.
