My wife died on November 6th as a result of 42 year smoking. She was 54. She loved to play Texas Holdem Online at Full Tilt Poker. Her online name was Matchbox Lady.

Four months ago, I contacted Full Tilt Poker and told them that she had passed away. I faxed a copy of the death certificate to them and they said they had to check with their legal staff. I was told there was several hundred dollars in her account.

For the past four months, I periodically receive emails saying they are looking into the matter. It is clear to me now that they are going to keep the money.

I'm at a loss right now with regard to what I can do other than sharing my story with others. I don't even know how much money is involved.

Any suggestions?

This confuses me.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your wife. On topic, you don't say why it is "clear to me now that they are going to keep the money". Did they say so? You say you "periodically receive email from them". Are you writing to them? Why don't you ask them (if you haven't) why it would take 4 months, and what else is it they need to know or decide?

You have every right to that money and they have to release it to you.
Push the issue and don't let them keep what is not thiers....Keep on them send an e-mail everyday and don't let the issue become dormant.

I'm very sorry for your loss and you should'nt have to suffer any more than you already have..
It's very wrong of them to make you wait as long as they have. It's a legal issue thats very easily resovlable with the proper paperwork which you said you have provided.
Theres no reason to not release that money to you!
Good luck ... I hope your suffering ends soon
My condolences

I would keep writing them, Very sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss mate... Keep on em' because your definatly entitled to the $$

Agreed,just keep e-mailing them and you will hopefully recieve whats yours.Good luck.

very sorry for your loss but i think if u stay in contact with full tilt they will do the right thing they are one of the best dont no why it would take 4 months though .

Thanks to everyone for their support. I received a check today from Full Tilt Poker and this issue appears to be resolved. This thread is now closed and I can get on with my life.
