Players with no country

#1 30th September 2010, 4:22 PM

I am sure some of you (besides me) have noticed that some players have no country listed next to their names.
I asked FT support about this and their answer to me was that some players start at play money only and don't have to list their country.
Eventually they win some cash at some freeroll and move to the real money tables and still don't have to list a country.

I guess they never withdraw any money.

I used to think these guys were strong players, maybe even semi-pros but it looks like they may be just lucky fish.

Just an observation

As far as I know it just means they haven't deposited so haven't yet had to fill in location information. However, how would Full Tilt know which country specific freeroll to allow them in to? We get loads in the UK freeroll with no location details, which always makes me wonder how they've got in.
The 'True Player' badge FT have introduced now shows which players have yet to make a deposit (at least thats what I think it means), so just see how many of those match up with blank location
I've a feeling you can hide your location too though.

It doesnt matter if they deposited or not they just havent filled out the player info.

well, maybe they are trying to be the next isildur1. hahaha. no seriously, not having any country dont mean anything. just coz they won from freerolls doesnt mean they suck. look at chris ferguson, he started playing freerolls till he reached 10k. clearly this shows that not depositing or having a country dont mean a thing

My guess is same as yours. There new people who havn't withdrawd yet so they either freeroll fish or small stake players. Could mean there bad/average. Wouldn't say these people are good tho.

If you go to cashier then you on the bottom left side there is a personal info category, you can change all of your info there.

Full tilt must use IP addresses or something else to figure out which country the are in for freerolls, My country currently says that I am in Canada, I did that to see if I could enter the canada freerolls because the are smaller, turns out I couldn't.

Once you deposit you can still change the country (I am not sure about this) so in reality you could deposit then say your change your location to Iran or some other place and there is no way a user could tell if your lying or not.

I've been playing on Full Tilt for a few years now and I only filled in my country info a month ago. I'd never deposited, withdrawn or received a player transfer until then and the software had never made me fill it in so I hadn't bothered.

Pretty sure they use IP addresses for the country freerolls, I'd played in the Australian ones before I filled my country in. Plus they'd have to do that to stop people just changing the country name in the address field to every time they wanted to play in someone else's freeroll.
