Mr felt should be more cautious when writing his next article, while I have no doubt in my mind he is legit, the image he portrays of the employees is slightly unfair. Yes everyone enjoyed the first week or two of ‘break’ after being overworked, understaffed and seriously underappreciated, but deep down he knows himself that the reason why we all joined the company was because we had a great love for the game of poker and what we believed at the time to be Full Tilt. When the work stopped it all came crashing, it was a sham, not only did the players get screwed but so did we. While the company was running we worked hard we played hard. Yes the Christmas party was outrageous and maybe Bitar and his select clique had orgies and what not, but we the regular employees were told to be on our best behaviour, that any incidents will be punished disciplinary and we will be watched, and some people who got pissed that night were asked to leave the party and let go on the spot. True story.
I have never experienced a more depressing, mind numbing, degrading period in my life than the last few months in Pocket kings, having to go through 10 hours shifts starring a blank screen and looking busy and alert at all times. Having been harassed by daily internal emails, and constant reminders, no phones, no internet, no books, no magazines, no forums, no smoke breaks, no pissing too often, etc. Some of us even requested to get unpaid leave for a period and up until the redundancies they refused the proposal as it would have been ‘demoralizing’ for the staff, instead they kept highly skilled experienced staff in the office and expected them to just sit there and if possible to look busy when we all knew there was **** all to do. We had to fight each other for emails, or spam, or any sort of work activity.
In relation to the nightshift screwing claim, i think MrFeft is referring to some sort f metaphorical screwing over or back stabbing because in all fairness there weren’t that many doable chicks on that shift unless the blokes in fraud nd security got busy with each other.
All jokes aside Pocket kings staff was mostly consisting of very young graduate employees like any company with young staff there will be some sort of messing around but would like to remind you all that this company did not go down because of its staff but because of sheer greed and mismanagement.
Isildur story somewhat true but I think mr Feft should reconsider some facts. His account was paused on a weekly basis and at some stage they believed he was account sharing with Martonas and when the security department asked for further explanation both players were able to prove otherwise. He was constantly harassed by management and security constantly under review and then finally screwed over by our own Hastings, Townsend, and Cole South. He was not the only one multi accounting we had much bigger fish blackcard/VIP who suffered minimum consequences because their rake/juice was too high and we did not want to lose them.

There isn't much to post that you haven't heard or already read on this forum. I think there is people with a lot more facts and information than me that could come forward, I just wanted to paint a fairer picture to what went on. And if you are reading this mister Feft, you were given the opportunity to tell your story, just remember you are not writing for a cheap tabloid, yes sex and scandal sells, but at this point i think people just want the facts!

To paraphrase Groucho Marx, I wouldn't want to orgy with anyone who would want to orgy with me.

I can answer that, the company had a massive employee turnover in the customer service department. Yes there was breakfast and yes there was lunch and the wages were half decent. But nobody wanted to stay. Only 20% of all support staff were there longer than 2 years. Those 20% of experienced staff were delegated to harder tasks such as problem gambling, multi acconting, id-verification, and later vip/ blackcard, while the main body of staff were made of temp staff paid minimum wages on a temporary contract hired when the volumes were high, trained on one specific query, and unable to answer your question past templates 1 and 2. Bad management. Lack of respect for the workers, and supervisors and teamleaders which i wouldn't assign to lead a flock of sheep let alone guide a team of people.

I call BS. Delayed customer support is just a corporate policy in order to delay cashouts, delay the solving account closure issues, etc. That was clearly the standard of your beloved company.

A decision was made to honor the deposits you weren't getting? Of course if you didn't it would kill all the action and nobody would play.

I mean are you for real?

Working at Pocket kings running full tilt was possibly the best job ive ever had. Answering emails were a thing of the past, instead I got stellar blowjobs from hot female employees and was wasted hours of work engaged in group orgies and random acts of gambling like how many olives we could stuff into olivia. Life was grand and there appeared to be no end in sight. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

Hopefully the whole corrupt security department will be gone if/when the new ftp opens.

I can't beleive ppl still actually think full tilt gonna open again !

That line of thinking is like if your local McDonalds closed down for a year, if you replace it with billy bob burgers and put a damn clown as the mascot and expect it to be busy, even if your mcdonalds closed for health code issues, if you reopen that thing people are way more likely to flock to it

Good point. Why has nobody else thought of simply opening up the world's new second biggest poker site for very little outlay?
