DoJ announces FTP remissions claims administrator

[Blue_Fossil]

Hopefully everyone has kept good records so they can provide the necessary paperwork to the payment administrator. I remember reading right after Black Friday - maybe it was on this board - that FTP players should take a screen shot of their account info so they would have proof of their balance.

Glad I did that.

Way too much hope. I think you would be lucky to have it by xmas, 2016

FYP

 

[MDTed]

Just out of curiousity, how do you find out how much you had on there? I admit I wasn't paying attention back when FT went away, I didn't have a massive amount on there by any means, if I recall it was ~$300. Is there a way to locate the amount on the new FT?

Do any USA players that recently logged into the fulltilt have a real money balance that says anything besides zero? I logged in and opened the cashier window for the first time in a couple years and it doesn't have my old real money balance, but it has the same amount of play money and fulltilt points from Black Friday.

It's that way for all US players.

I still got my 1.5 mil play chips, and 7800+ FTP's but no, my cash balance doesn't show and says -$0-

Good thing I took a screenie the day after.

well I signed up.... Would be getting back $300 or there about,,,not much to most people,,, but being on Social Security (old) and unable to work (disabled) it would sure help the bank account,,,,

 

[ROOKMAN]

I signed up as well but will still be quite a while before we get our money I believe. At least this is a step in the right direction!!!

 

[valientone]

glad to hear this.. I just sent a claims request.. is that all i need to do? or Do i need to send them an email aswell, with the Amount that Fulltilt owes me?

 

[WVHillbilly]

You can't enter a claims request yet. What you did was request that the send you information when they determine how to submit a claims request. Basically you signed up for more info when it becomes available.

my dad will be happy to hear this he has a bunch there but doesnt want to have to deal with the doj will this eliminate the doj from retrieving his money

 

[WVHillbilly]

No. This IS the DoJ handling the money. If he wants his money he'll have to deal with them. There will be no other way.

My money still at pokerstars though. A wonder what that's about. They cleaned out are counts at fulltilt, but left them alone at pokerstars.

You were supposed to cash out at Stars years ago (a few months after BF). They sent checks very quickly.

i dont understand why it should take so long .are we just getting the run around or is this a process that really needs this much time to resolve

The government got a finger in the pie and had no clue how to get it out without giving us all cooties......

 

[rawone]

If I understand correctly, they are still collecting money from the various "playahs", the last settlement was only recently reached.

 

[Corey]

I only had $40 there. I'm giving serious thought to not reporting my information at all. Maybe I don't want the gvt knowing I played poker LOL

 

[kidkvno1]

Bump, any word on this yet?

For those of you looking to get a balance from FTP (so you know how much you had on there), I posted the method here: https://www.cardschat.com/forum/pok...p-account-first-time-224981/post-2111390.html

I wish they had just let poker stars pay the players when then bought up Full Tilt, like Poker Stars did for their own players. The money was paid out extremely quickly and directly to my checking account with no problem. The fact that this is so complicated and is taking so long makes me feel like I won't be getting the full amount I had when the site shut down.
