#1 14th June 2009, 5:05 PM

I was talkig o a buddy and he was told by someone else that Full Tilt had froze thousands of US player accounts because of the UIGEA. Now his account is still good mine is still good I searched to find a story on this but found nothing has any one heard anythiong that maybe I couldn't find, or was it something else that maybe he mistook it.

I have not seen this story at all.

No news that I know of, but there was a recent problem with their payment processor, who also happen to handle other sites, and I got a rubber check. FT did right by me by adding an 'insult' payment to my account to cover the bounced check. Rumors are that only FT did this.

I am however, still awaiting the fresh check. I got either lucky, or spoiled early this year when several checks from both FT and UB arrived in 4 days after withdrawal requests.

Here's the thread on the recent 'freeze' ...

It isn't that player 'accounts' were frozen, it was the payments from poker site processors that were frozen for payments to some 27,000 US players for almost 34 million dollars.
