? Never?

Tilt has it's own issues about opening again anywhere. And if the US opens it's doors to online poker it's likely to go with casio supported software and / or companies like party poker that agreed to leave the market right at the beginning. That's a risk that Stars and Tilt took right after the legislation years ago.

FTP will never be back in US. Another company could possibly use the software. I doubt Stars will be back but i would welcome them with open arms even though they stole a lot of fpp's from the players.

I have never heard of this before - everyone's fpp's were converted to tournament dollars and paid out in cash.

To answer OP's question - years if ever.

They didnt refund all the points they rounded them off and kept the leftovers. I cant remember exactly how they did it. I think you had to have 1000 fpp's to exchange them so if you had 1800 points you could exchange 1000 and they kept the rest. They definitely made a good profit on the deal.

I think I would need to see some facts supporting this to believe it

Can we be real. These points were basically them GIVING you stuff anyway. You played your hands, won/lost money, and got perks for doing it with stars. It's not really "stealing." It's just silly when people get mad because of the points... They did give you the money you actually earned as tilt did not. Also why I'll never understand why people are eager for any tilt return. I know new management and other things but they were the ones that stole.
