Click2Pay & Full Tilt

#1 3rd June 2009, 9:52 PM

Does anyone know about what the deal is with Click2Pay for US residents, specifically how it works for Full Tilt users?

Although I'm sure many many people in my position use C2P, it seems weird that you can only create an account via Full Tilt's software. Even if it's technically possible, C2P explicitly says they do not permit account for non-US residents. It seems like this could cause problems down the road with C2P (not necessarily Full Tilt) when I try to get my money from them.

From what I can tell there aren't any other cashout methods at FTP that do not incur a service fee, no? Again, I'm live in the States so Neteller, ClickandBuy, etc., will not allow me to have an account, and credit cards will not work either.

(Btw, sorry if this is a questions that's already been addressed. Forgive me -- I'm a newbie.)

Find another way. Prepaid visa card is your best bet. The NEtspend All Access card is what I used. Then have FT issue a paper check.

With Fulltilt, it's easy to make deposit, but difficult to cash out.
Pokerstars you can be in and out with your checking account and etc, no fee.
AbsolutePoker and Ultimatebet in and out with Ewallet, no fee
Bodog in and out with Moneygram, Western Union, Ewallet and etc, no fee.
I had played Fulltilt, I cashed out by transfering my chips to a person I know to get cash from him, and I stopped playing Fulltilt ever since.
I don't have favorable opinion about Fulltilt, in term of cashout method and in term of software integrity (simulating real live game random chances)

Yeah it's bizarre. When I asked FTP about this, here's one of the many automated non-responses I got via email:

Quote:

Click2pay is exclusively available to you via the cashier on Full Tilt Poker. Click2Pay is a processor offered to players from the USA that allows you to transfer money from your credit/debit card and place it in a secure online account. Using that account, we can quickly accept deposits and send withdrawals.

And get this ... in the very next email, they completely contradicted themselves and offered this piece of nonsense:

Quote:

While Click2Pay did suspend the creation of new US accounts through their site, they always continued to support their existing US customers and allow them to transfer funds to and from their Click2Pay accounts as desired.

All I get are these kind of robotic offerings. What no one at Full Tilt can give me a straight answer on is how this would work sine I'm NOT an existing user. If I signed up through them, I would be a NEW user -- a US citizen opening a new account, signing up through Full Tilt, who does not have a pre-existing account. This seems like it would be a violation of Click2Pay's guidelines, no?

(Btw, when I emailed C2P, their reply back was short and sweet ... and strightforward: "Unfortunately it is not possible to register with CLICK2PAY as a US resident.")
