FTP premium bank wire

Anyone ever used this? I went to withdraw with e-checks and they said 10-15 business days and to expect delays. Needing the money within the next month at least I figured screw it and pay extra bank fees. Supposed to be in account 5-7 business days after approval. It was approved on Feb. 9th. By my math shoulda been in my account by Friday the 18th (unless valentines day isn't a business day anymore). Now today is Presidents day. Tomorrow Washington's B-day(Business day I hope).

Anyway question is anyone else use this method before? If so any problems?

email there suport about this, i know that full tilt is having major problems with withdraws to bank accounts.

I requested a check last week - and they didn't send a check but the money was in my bank account within 3 days. No fee - and I had gotten the same delay notice.

I've never used it before, but I know FTP is slow about everything. If they say 7-10 days I would expect it to be more like 10-X days. My brother had some trouble because he used the quick deposit and the transfer wasn't actually cleared by the bank for a few weeks or something like that (when it was supposed to be a week or so I believe).

And Dream of Tragedy is right, I've heard the same thing about them and the banks. It seems like lately everything is messed up.

Needless to say I sent them the info they asked for but these guys are really pissing me off. Next step withdraw all my money,quit playing poker, and start collecting bottles and cans for extra money. I feel severe rage right now!

I've personally never had a problem with getting FTP checks in decent time. Sometimes in only a day or two. Depends on how close the processor is I guess.

The last couple direct to my checking account withdrawals have ended up being wired instead. Haven't checked exactly but its taken less than the 10-12 days they told me it would from the time I was notified of the change in payment method (which was week or so after request).

I still haven't received anything yet! I just have to rant somewhere for a sec I guess. If anyone is interested in seeing the endless e-mail tag I'll post it.

Anyway I was approved for premium bank wire on Feb 9th. and still getting dicked around and generic responses from support. Have an U.S. players had bank wire problems too or do I just have horrible luck? It's funny how support tells me I am "top priority" then not even give me a decent response in a week of e-mail tag.


Just pissed is all, sorry for the rant.

I'm still waiting on 2 withdrawals from feb 9th and feb 14th each for 1k, and I must say waiting this long isn't helping my game.lol Made 2 smaller withdrawals of $250 a week or two before that and both showed up in 3 days or less. confusing...

Off topic but used to vacation in Kalkaska. On topic can't believe my luck with getting money from my virtual world to my real world. This really blows and can't get straight answer or even an est. date of when it will be shipped.

Oh well, it is what it is. FTW.

That is absolutely ridiculous. I can't stand FTP support. I've emailed them a lot recently and I've only gotten one or two emails that have actually been written by a person - and even then they DO NOT answer any questions. Every single other email has been some pre-typed gibberish asking me to bear with them, and I don't mean this:
"Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support.

This is an automated response to confirm we've received your email, and a representative will respond to you as soon as possible.

Please be advised there's no need to reply to this email.

Thank you for your patience.

Regards,

Full Tilt Poker Support"

but some other script they have in their inventory. Even after I asked them not to send me some pre-written message they still did. I really wish you the best of luck. I'm sure it'll all work out, just not in a timely manner.

What a joke. Getting ready to just request check for exact amount in my account after I get my RB tomorrow. Bunch a pricks take a whole month just to send me my money back to FT account. Nothing extra for troubles. No suggestion on what method I should use to withdraw.


Only a "reply to this e-mail if you have any questions." So I just plainly asked " How do I get my money."

and i thought my bitch email was the reason my money showed back up in my full tilt account ... bastards! same for me man no explanation no extra 50bucks .. just a month of waiting and stress .. guess what .. im moving over to pokerstars .. bite me tilt lol

Full Tilts a Joke

I have waited well over a month now and now they've blocked me from sending their cashier e mails....friggin joke.

What gets me is how these poker stars even relate their name to this site. If I was Howard Lederer or one of the others I would be pissed that they are dragging my good name down in the mud.

FTs a scam.

Full Tilt and Poker Stars

Both sites are having problems. It appears that USA players are screwed. Unable to deposit and unable to withdraw.
