    If anyones curious about FPP, just got this reply. pokerstars is currently working with the US government to achieve an agreement on what can be done with FPPs. PokerStars would prefer that players be allowed to use their FPPs in the VIP Store as normal, however no final decision has been agreed.

    Bravo, Stars, and well done. Further proof of their excellent customer service, and a smart move on their part. All the non-US players will see this and their trust in pokerstars will only increase.

    Now, Full Tilt, what's your excuse? Stars got it done, now we need our money!

    I don't have much on stars, but would prefer to leave it on there so that I can rail friends from Canada when they play. Not even given that option.

    FTP is not processing withdraws from any part of the world. All my roll is stucked there and I have lots of brazilian friends that have their roll frozen as well. I was just wondering why... We were supposed to receive our money, I asked for the cashout ten days ago and it is still pending... Funniest thing is that people are able to deposit !!

    DONT DEPOSIT AT FULL TILT POKER !!! YOU WONT BE ABLE TO CASHOUT !!!!

    good luck all

    Cheers to stars for stepping up quickly to get US players their money. I wonder how long it will take Full Tilt, or how many people get screwed.

    I wonder if PS/FT will be allowed first or blocked completely due to their "criminal record" when things normalize. I mean both are easily replaceable...

    In fact today, I tried to spent some of my FPPs and got a message saying something to the effect of the US government won't allow. Also, I've notice a lot of things no longer available in the store.

    I've been e-mailing FTP constantly since April 15th and have not heard back ONCE from any customer service rep.

    Well, I can say this: If online poker comes back to the US, and pokerstars manages to stay in the game in some form, I will most certainly return to playing there; screw the other sites. The way they are handling this problem, as if it is actually a genuine concern of theirs that players not get screwed over, is pure class; Cereus and FTP could learn something about how to run a business. The fact that they are giving players 100% cash for tourney bucks, and also attempting to make sure that FPPs earned are not wasted, is just awesome, considering the "response" (or lack thereof) from the other sites. Now that FTP can't use the "Oh how do we process checks? LOL!" excuse, I'm curious to see how long it takes them to get their shit in gear.

    This is what I received this morning after a month of emailing.

    Proves Full Tilt is a SCAM! They don't deserve ANY respect, loyalty, or money from players period.
