| I think we will eventually. I really believe there is some shady stuff going on with it though. Why else would pokerstars have already released their money weeks ago when they are in the same situation? |

| So my question is...I never made a deposit on to Full Tilt but I built a 50 dollar roll on there from nothing, will I be able to get the money in my account? That is if and when Full Tilt releases funds to US players...I dont think that I will |

| re: So... will we ever get our Full Tilt money back? poker I voted no...I'm not counting on ever seeing my money I've worked so long & hard for. I'm usually optimistic about such things, but as time goes by, I see this glass as half empty. It really saddens me because Fulltilt was my favorite place to play. |

| I think that if FTP is planning on staying in business (outside the U.S.) they will have to get us our money. Do you really think the rest of the world's online players would trust FTP if they didn't? It IS going to take a LONG time (their accounting department is really F**ked up) If you haven't done so already, I would recommend taking a screenshot of your cashier page |

| scottie say you owe your friend $100 and have $200. I then go and steal $190 from you. I tell your friend "he can give you your money back if he wants". The money's not there. It's frozen. FTP does not have the money to pay us at this time. Whether we get paid any time soon is anyone's guess and it is definitely a possibility we never get paid at all. But make no mistake it is the fault of the DoJ primarily that you don't have your money. They decided it was more important to them to attempt to collect fines than to refund money back to customers. FTP made some mistakes in their business that has made it worse, but the DoJ seized more money than they owe American players. |

IMO taking a screenshot is excellent advice--did so the minute I read this post and think everyone should as well. Thanks! PS. I didn't vote--my jury's still out. Last edited by LarkMarlow : 17th June 2011 at 5:56 AM. Reason: added PS |

I voted no in the poll and if you do get your money I think it will be years. Obviously I hope I'm wrong. |

Much of the talk at the moment is based around the theory that US players haven't been paid yet because the site wants to stay in business and with the current management team to boot. Their problem is finding the funds to pay US players while also maintaining the financial reserves necessary to keep their gaming licence and therefore continue operating for the rest of the world. FWIW my personal view is you'll get paid but it'll take months, not weeks. |

Well I decided to cash out my remaining BR on FT last friday (leaving 30$ there to donk around and play CC buy-ins) and it took FT 6 days to get it into my banking account (which is ok). All the people who play online poker I know personally around here know what has happened and are thinking about how that impacts them - and they're not all forum members. Edit: I voted yes (at some time in the future) |

| re: So... will we ever get our Full Tilt money back? poker ABC News is reporting that the Justice Department is reporting that they have reached an agreement for the sites to return the US players money to them. There has been no mention of Absolute or UltimateBet other than for the Justice Department to say that they were welcome to come to the same agreement. |

FWIW I hope I'm wrong, I just have very little faith in the general public's ability to see beyond the end of their nose. However, I live in the US, land of Jerry Springer, religious nut jobs,and the Tea Party, hopefully they are smarter on the other side of the pond. |

Full Tilt is still a money maker. Even if US player are banned forever, if they expect any new players they must honor their existing debts. |

| I'm saying no. I don't think FT has or can get that kind of money...and has no incentive to pay it off. Plus all the lawsuits they are and will face will probably crush them. I also think that the screen shot thing isn't really going to prove anything. What's stopping someone from altering them? It's not a great way to prove anything. |

| I'm gonna tell this upfront. I have been patient enough but now, not anymore. I'm going to start acting like an asshole now. If I don't get my money back from full tilt, then I hope all the owners of tiltware and people responsible for this get locked up and stay there for a long time. I have nothing to lose. My bankroll on full tilt = my pure profit. So not a single penny of my wallet money is in my full tilt account anyway. After all, justice needs to be served against shady sites, right? If I received my poker money, I would support all type of Poker activists groups to legalize online poker at all cost. But when I cannot touch my money while Pokerstars was able to refund all their players, I hope full tilt along with ub/ap can burn in hell. And yes, I am whining. When my profit that I have accumulated throughout hundreds of hours for nearly a year goes down the drain in 1 day, I think it's reasonable to whine and curse the site to burn in hell. WA WA WA WA WA. |

| I voted yes, but I agree with others to not holding my breath waiting. I think it's going to take months, if not a year or more, to clear up the mess and pay everyone back. As long as they are still in business, I will hold out hope. My money was pure profit as well, so I probably would invest it in some live poker whenever I get it back. |
