has anyone felt like they have recieved a lower balance than they actually had? I didnt have a significant balance but i was pretty sure i had around 1k more than the petition claims i had. The problem is i dont have any documents they are requesting as proof so i might have to just roll with it. just wondering if any others feel shorted or if im probably wrong.

You can check your FTP account history through the new FTP:

ty sir

I am perplexed by something. It says I must upload documents substantiating my account balance and it gives ludicrous examples such as cancelled checks or wire transfers. Um, how do those substantiate anything, If i have withdrawn a million dollars from 2008-2009 how does that in any way show what I might have? What did people do on this stage?

I mean, would uploading the account history from FTP itself be a good idea or a waste of time?

It depends on what you are trying to document. If you are just accepting the FTP balance which GCG has recorded for you, then you don't need to upload anything.

After I login and get the claims number it asks me to enter my balance. It's one of 2 numbers I have recorded. Not sure which. I enter the higher one (naturally) and it says to enter proof like the above poster says. However I have no idea what my username, password, or email was that I used, so now what? I email ftp and they tell me to submit the same thing the website tells me to submit. Mmmm thanks guys

There are some posts in the Remissions Sticky that might help you out.

You will have to go through support at the new FTP to get access to your FTP account for downloading your FTP account records.

Is there any update on the red pro situation? A large amount of money of mine was in my friends account who was a red pro, and he was playing with it but it was my money. I have no idea how to go about trying to claim that money, that is, if my red pro friend can get it, or if I should (long-shot?) try to explain to them that it was my money.

any help or info would be greatly appreciated!

So my balance looks good but I didnt complete the process yet since I want to send to a foreign bank. I updated my address but two small problems. They want an ACH number for wire, over here we use SWIFT numbers. Should I use that?

Also, in my country they use your parents first names on your accounts so the name of my account is slightly different then my legal name although the bank knows my legal name it is not the same that appears on my account since my legal name in that country is different. Any advice?

Just want to get this done but am happy at least my balance is correct.

I received today a response from GCG to my email questions:

At least they are paying attention. I like to think my email helped get resolution or answers to some of the issues.

Those are questions best answered by the GCG. Give them a call or email.

Would think it would be pretty near impossible since red pros (who can not get their money) can just have anyone say that. Have him file and put in some documents maybe?


I would call the bank and see if it comes to your legal name (wouldnt they have a copy of that?) would that be an issue? And try GCG to ask about the ACH vs SWIFT numbers. Sounds like it should be in the FAQ since I doubt you are only one sending to a foreign bank.

Right now, it seems the ones who were paid hourly for their play are being treated as de facto employees and are being told they will not be eligible for remission. PPA is continuing to reach out to DoJ and GCG on the red pro issue (not Team Full Tilt....the day-in day-out grinders).

Also, keep in mind that no one is ineligible to apply. GCG is doing some screening prior to sending out control numbers for remission application, but anyone can submit their application. So, I encourage everyone to submit their application.

That should make the review process go pretty quickly. Yay for us.

I'm also still trying to find out about getting remissions sent to a non-US bank acct. I only have a UK bank acct now. ACH is a US thing only.

I've fired a couple of emails to GCG about it but no response so far.

As it stands I'd have to try and somehow open a US based acct to be able to correctly submit the petition.

Anyone get any advice re this from GCG?

I just got off the phone with GCG they said to put in the swift number and just email in that you used a swift number. That wont effect if you get your money or not obviously. They should have a check box for ACH or SWIFT though.

I am currently living in one country where they have my address but want to send to a bank account in another country I have a residence. Think I need to change my address or its fine?

Cool. Thanks for that info!


This. But it would seem so obvious & simple that it prolly won't happen

re the address: certainly don't take my word for it but I'd probably assume as long as the bank info you submit to GCG matches up with the info the bank has on you, then you're fine.

What is the section asking if someone else can be contacted on your behalf. Does that mean someone else can accept payment for you? Is this for people who sold their balances?

Sorry for the massive Grunch, but I have received an email around september 16th with a petition and control number, I went to their website and filed a claim. Got a confirmation email but haven't heard anything since. Do I need to follow up or do anything else? or do I just sit and wait at this point? I just heard that some players that had rakeback were being flagged as affiliates and that created problems. I guess I just want to check if there are any additional actions i need to take or just wait. Again sorry if come off completely out of the loop but truth is I haven't read any of the GCG threads since early september.

Thanks

When you logged in did the balance shown reflect what you expected? If so then you have nothing left to do but wait.

^Yes, it was the exact figure that I expected based on my FTP history. I guess i'll just sit tight and wait. Thanks Drew!

i'd still recommend obsessively reading all the ftp threads tho. there's no reason not to check them all constantly.

That would actually not be as painful as one would imagine given how many people i have put on ignore.
