Fulltilt cashouts

[trojan87]

i hv cashed out twice but used echeck method and i hv tried to cash out recently. if ur having problems cashing out try echeck str8 to ur bank account. it looks like its getting alot harder to get ur money now soon these sites may be closed who knows.

That's not necessarily true. I'm not sure I would have a w/d directly deposited into my bank account at this time. There have been some people that had their bank accounts closed by their bank because of deposits like this to their accounts.

I have cashed out a few times with echecks and had no problem with my bank so far. I would think if they denied sending me a check and told me to find another method then this would be the way to do it. If not, why wouldn't they just deny my withdraw as soon as I request it? If they end up doing this again I will be livid and they better throw me an extra $50! I'll just wait and see though before I trip out.

I sure hope my bank doesnt close my account,because of this deposit,if it goes through.I live in a very small town,and use a small time bank.I would guess my bank would issue me a warning before closing my account hopefully.
Either way,I will not be making any deposits,until this problem gets cleared up.

Is this only affecting USA residence?

must be fun to cashout

maybe one day...

 

[tbdbitl]

Didn't mean to necessaly incite a panic. I think these have been larger banks and large transaction amounts.

 

[Charade You Are]

I'm sure it's the larger amounts that are "being watched". The U.S. is starting to feel like a police state. 60's anyone?

Had the same experience here about 2 weeks ago...I'm not hard up for the cash so have just been waiting to see what falls out before trying another withdrawal.

I did appreciate the 25 bucks

Did OP ever get payout? Has any other U.S. player used echecks successfully within the last 3 weeks?

So they put the extra $50 into your account instead of sending it with the other money? What bullshit! They say it's to cover wire fees(which will be about $50 anyway) but they put it in your account. How are you supposed to pay the wire fees with it if you can't get it out of your account? And why in the hell would they approve a method they know damn well won't work?

The thing is with me is I took out exactly what I need this month. I tried originally by check early last month so it would be here before Christmas. My money should be in my account no later than 12/08. If I have to email them just to wire the money I quit FT. I know they don't care but screw this. And if they are going to put $50 in my account, they can damn well wire me the extra $50 too.

Bastards!

 

[DetroitJimmy]

Bastards! Just checked my e-mail a moment ago and received this:

 

[DetroitJimmy]

My reply (censored): Why on earth would you put the extra $50 in my poker account? If it is to cover wire fees, how in the hell am I supposed to cover them with money you put in my account where I can't get it out? WTF? Next time this s&*t happens please use your f%$^ing head and send the money to cover wire fees with my other money. Geees.

I recently tried to cash out with a bank transfer. I received the same email at the end of the 15 day period. They gave me a free $50 and told me that I would have my money through a wire transfer a week from now. I recently had the same problem with pokerstars when after I deposited a check I received an email telling me the bank account the check was from had to be closed. They credited me 10% of what my cashout was which was a decent amount. I suppose it's becoming harder and harder to deal with Americans, it isn't really their fault.

 

[DetroitJimmy]

I received money in my bank account right after I ranted. It only cost $15(so far anyway) in bank fees. The $50 was in my FT account when I checked it right after.

I sent customer service an apology right after I calmed down and seen I was getting most of the money I requested + the $50 to 'Gambol' with. They did all they could considering and they did the right thing twice by giving me extra for my check too.

The extra $50 actually helps me out right now anyway. Now I will have no problem reaching at least bronze in the IM and getting my end of year bonus.

So all in all FT is still cool with me for now. Sorry about ranting on forum and blowing this out of proportion.

 

[ziggymom]

I myself have not yet tried to withdrawal money yet .....but didn't say you had to withdrawal like $200 ? If it doesn't need to be that much to wire I may think of withdrawing a little bit myself and leave the rest in FT.

Good luck if you get yours today....I have been reading your post about withdrawing it .

 

[qwerrk]

My direct transfer request was immediately acknowledged and then APPROVED via the standard email notices....will report back with any developments -- only been 3 days.

Fifty dollars ain't bad but anything less than success here is gonna have me a bit concerned.

what a mess

 

[ajdb]

If you are a gambler be it party poker/FTP/Poler stars/ casino or local
card game.. The one thing you shouldnt have to worry about is if it/they
wiil pay if you win be it 200 or 250,000k. and in this case FTP did not pay

i,ve had 2 cashouts this year from full tilt on my debit card both occasions it wa scredited to my account within 10 minutes

update 12-8

I recieved my cashout also,very similiar to others here.I got charged $40 in so called bank fees,which they took out of the money I was expecting in my bank account.
Sure, they put $50 in my tilt account,which is not helping me right now.Im just glad to get what I got for now.
For the past 2-3 months,I have cut way back on playing at Fulltilt,and stepping it up at other sites,like cake/and skins and merge sites.
If you continue to play at fulltilt,expect delays,and $40 of the money you expect to be missing ,,,from fees.Plus my bank took $5 of it also.

Summary-I dont blame fulltilt,I am sure they are doing their best at this time.The problem is with the banking from the mess the usa has caused.
^But,I must play where I get the most bang from my buck.***

 

[qwerrk]

It has been ~11 days and I'm still expecting the full amount requested within the next 5 days. Anything less and I'll have to write my Congress persons again. Leave my pie alone!

[ajdb]

[Corey]

Jeez, I'd almost go through this trouble to get an extra $25. LOL!
