I assume its for Take 2 which I wasn't even able to finish because of Black Friday. Possibly they are getting closer to being able to cash us out and are trying to get everything settled beforehand...

yeah got mine too I guess I can stare at a larger amount on my cashier now

Yeah they mentioned it in the last FTP answers thread. I think if you had 7+ days they were giving credit for the full $25. Until they start sending checks it's all just pixels though.

I got mine, but like WV said, it's just a number on a screen so far.

Yep, same here. Wondering if I'm going to get my "imaginary" rakeback too now...

Nice, I was one day short because at first I was not going to do it, then on the second day decided to just go for it.

Ya, just got it today. However, they still haven't paid out the last week of rakeback after black friday hit. (Rakebackpros)

Your caption got me a little excited, since it led me to believe that FT was cashing US players out. Still waiting...waiting...waiting

yeah ..now I have another $5 I cant request a check from.

lol this is funny i have my 25 dollars so what can i do but stare at it to... lol i had a friend transfer my 50 that was on there out right away... but cost me 25c on the dollar.... hmmm i will try this and let u all know.....

Got my $25 too. Now FT, about that withdrawal...

ongrats to all who get the 25$, i also want these bucks
what do you think, when is the next Take2 ? i unfortunately miss the last one... is it true that they just take action every year? c

+$25... I'm happy they gave it up even though I was short the last day. I'll be even happier when my balance is somewhere that I can use it.

I was one day short and got $25. All it really does is boost the amount of money I need to get out. Just glad I purchased a butt load of tickets with my medals and points before d-day. Be nice if they focused more on getting our money out instead.

Got mine too.

If only I could still play at FTP.

Just checked my account, and I got credited the $25 as well. Just let me know once they start cutting checks.

Got mine as well........but well you know!!!!!

So I played the FT promotion where you play 5 days and earn 5 FTP's each day to get $5 prior to the US player lockout. If you play 9 days and earn 5 FTP's each day you would get an extra $20, but the lockout is on the Saturday which would have been my 9th day to earn $25 total and I only complete 8 days. So I cant play for real money and I really dont care about the $5 so I forgot about it. Today I get an email from FT saying they deposited $25 in my account and I log in for the first time in a while and sure enough I got $25 more in there. I wonder what happened, wish I could play LOL!

I got it too..i was wondering what that $25 was from. I was hoping it was from freerollchamp.com...because i have over $100 worth of points there. unfortunately, i think that site has been abandoned by the owner.

What good is it if can't play real money?

anyone hear what they are going to do with academy points??

Academy points and IM medals are going to be converted into FT points. The trick is that no one knows what, if anything, they are going to do with FT points.

I'll take the 25$ extra bucks if they ever let us withdrawl.
Hopefully, we get our final rakeback payments this week.

Yup:

• All T$ will be converted to real money on a 1:1 basis.
• All Tournament Tickets will be converted to real money on a 1:1 basis.
• All Ring Game Tickets will be converted to real money based on the current value of the ticket. This includes any tickets that have expired since April 15th, even if they no longer show in your ticket balance.
• All pending Take 2 payments will be paid out. If you qualified for 3-6 days you will get $5, if you qualified for 7 or more days you will get $25.
• All pending rakeback/Cash Back payments will be completed.
• Any FTOPS Satellite Challenge winners will be paid.
• All store purchases made after April 15th will be reversed. This includes the Iron Man store and the FTP store.
• All uncleared portions of purchased bonuses will be refunded in the currency they were purchased.
• All unused Iron Man freeroll tickets will be exchanged for medals at the same rate one would get if they went to the "Ticket Exchange" on the Iron Man page.
• All April Iron Man medals will be paid out as if you played the entire month at the same rate as the first 15 days (so if you played 10 of the first 15 days of April, that will count as playing 20 days at that level). If you played all 15 days you will also get 15 medals for the One-A-Day promotion.
• All Iron Man medals will then be converted to FTPs at a rate of 50 FTPs per medal, which is the top conversion rate in the Iron Man store.
• All Full Tilt Poker Academy credits will be converted to FTPs at a rate of 1 FTP per credit.

Hope that works out for you.

lol, I didn't finish take 2 but I just checked today and my account had $25 more. Now only if we could withdrawl.....

i got mine to. so sad no playing poker there. but atleast a little justice in the bonus
i'm registered at carbon for the ofc now all i have to do is get a deposit in my acct.

Yep - got mine as well. I take it as a good sign, and hopefully will be able to withdraw soon.

I got Take 2 $25 and was also recently credited for face value of both Tournament Tickets and Ring Game Tickets

ya got a message the other day that they converted all my T$ to real dollars, and my step tickets at full face value. So will be pretty happy if they let us cash out now. Just numbers on a screen otherwise.

As we are no longer able to offer real-money play to U.S. players, we have converted any Tickets or Tournament Dollars in your account to cash.

Tournament and Ring Game Tickets:

Each Tournament Ticket has been credited to your Full Tilt Poker account at full cash value. Ring Game Tickets which expired after Friday April 15th have been credited at their initial cash value - or at their current value if partially used.

Please note that any Tickets purchased after Friday April 15th were previously converted back into the currency in which they were bought.

Tournament Dollars (T$):

Your outstanding Tournament Dollar balance has also been converted to your Full Tilt Poker account in full, at a parity rate of $1 for every T$1.

nice to know that they paid out the $25, even though they did not let us finish our play.

I live in Australia ... and the only thing that has changed on Full Tilt for me is the Domain Name, everything else is as it was.

I recieved my take 2 promo Bonus, and the Rush Ring game Ticket promo.

this would be great!!!! If fulltilt would send me my money!!!!!! So what's up with fulltilt??????
