Alderney suspends Full Tilt's operating license

[JOEBOB69]

Didn't i already say\post this.Arggg no one listens to me

 

[gefishy]

Wow, I can't believe it. I guess I shouldn't say I am too surprised, but this is yet another huge blow to this business. With FTP being so huge, this does not reflect well on the future of internet poker. I have never played pokerstars but man, I would be cautious to put money anywhere at this point whether I was overseas or not.

Wow, I was waiting to uninstall untill they cleared us to withdraw, I am beginning to think that it is not going to happen.

Not only do I keep the software installed, but I sign in every once in awhile. Ditto with Ultimate Bet (another lost cause).
I don't want funds taken for lack of activity. (I know UB starts taking $ after 6 months)

I'm guessing Phil Ivy had an idea this would happen, hence his jump from FTP sponsored wsop play.

I'm guessing he had a few more details as to what the truth was.

Lol is 2+2 gonna unban the poor ppl who tried to warn them and got their threads locked and themselves banned? (oh and don't forget called lots of names)
I can never get through a thread over there before a link catches my eye and I am off clicking it, or there is so much arguing I get bored.
Thanks for the cliff notes.

Well it looks like FTP is a goner.

My European friends are all up in arms about their money.

Hope we can see some of our money from this

 

[JohnBoyWWFC]

had a massive withdraw pending for over 2 weeks but was to late to get it out
also left some cash there and made some profit
joined tilt just for this forum last year
screwed by usa governement !
boycot all usa goods !
let them know to fekk around with pokerplayers worldwide !

Replying to this so forgive me if someone in the thread has, but Wolfie, I felt the same initially, F The USA etc etc. But after some reflection, it's clear that this isn't their fault. Yes, they started it, but it is really the way FTP have behaved since then. If it were just from Black Friday, the same would have happened to PS too.

Just when i win some $$ on there in the FRs - sigh

Me 2, just when I was climbing the LB too... gor most of my funds out in time...

Is Stars next???

 

[WVHillbilly]

...

wat?

 

[Jillychemung]

Is Stars next???

IMHO, No, Stars is licensed by a different body and their business requirements for the license make it much more unlikely that Stars will have their license suspended.

 

[Poker Orifice]

Some irony in this ......

 

[Poker Orifice]

1 down will UB and Absolute Poker be next ?

What would it even matter? UB flushed down the toilet awhile ago,... UB hasn't been paying out withdrawls so I can't see why anyone would even ever play on there?

This sucks soooo bad. FTP was best poker site on the planet imo.

And most important they knew it all along since april, as some ftp employee posted on 2+2, he even nailed the freaking date june 29th.!!!!

Do you actually believe that guy who was posting on 2p2? (what about all the other claims/predictions that didn't come true?... &.. no proof provided for any of his claims). imo, just another troll
btw, I used to work at McDonalds & know for fact that they use cats & dogs for their big mac patties & that Angus burgers are actually made from dead, rotting Hippo carcasses. It's true! I used to work at HeadOffice (no.. I can't provide any proof of my employment but that's cuz I don't works dare anymorez).

 

[tcummo]

WUT? This is religion's fault now?

 

[xdeucesx]

WUT? This is religion's fault now?

obv jesus and allah got togetherz and went "ftp is rigged, i gotz my AA losing every time AIPF to 64o...lets take dem down"

 

[JOEBOB69]

wat?

I've been really really high on pain killers(super bad abscessed tooth)maybe that's why i don't get this

 

[jazzaxe]

I have suspected since 4-15 that FTP was either underfunded or was not segregating the players funds as their operating agreement had stated. I was hoping they would admit that they were underfunded and would promise to cash out their US players, at least to the extent that they were properly funded. Better a part of something than the whole of nothing. I have doubts now that FTP will reopen. I was happy when I got all of my funds from Stars and I commend them for that. I have an increasingly sickening feeling that my FTP account is not going to be funded at all. (especially since my funds at FTP were twice as high as by Stars funds.

The evidence is what we all know now, the posts are there and the dates are too, and he was right, even the admins unbanned him. I have not read the whole topic, it is huge but I think he actually gave some sort of evidence.

Heck even some players saw the shit coming and took actions...( phil ivey ).
This court order was on 26th, so they keep receiving funds on purpose to run away with them knowing that they would close anyway on 29th.
