  1. So I withdrew from FT and got a check deposited it and now my bank says its no good wtf i emailed FT and am awating a response, Im getting over draft fees and all kinda shit.!!

    Has this happened recentyl to anyone??
  2. did you use the search function before making this thread?
  3. I never cashed out on Full Tilt but I did have the same problem with pokerstars once. I hear Full Tilt support sucks but I will tell ya what Pokerstars did for me so hopefully you can make FTP do the same for you. Pokerstars was really cool about it they refunded the money to my PS acct (Plus 10% for my troubles) and they agreed to pay for my bounced check fees and any overdraft fees that occured if I emailed them a screen shot of my bank statement. Good luck!!!

    FWIW its a 3rd party payment processor that FTP uses to pay its customers when they cash out. FTP has money but like stars, they use a payment processor to pay the players.

    What more than likely has happened (as this is usually the case with FTP when checks start to bounce) is that their payment processor has shut down and FTP is having to find another payment processor.

    Eventually checks will be good again but it may take some time.

    im not one to necc agree with bohemian a lot but the search funtion would of worked for this. They use 3rd party internet processors. These processors change all the time, and this one probly got caught in the mix. Happens a few times a year. FT will put the money back in your account with most likely 10 or 20 percent extra for your troubles. Doubt they will cover your overdraft fees
  12. well if they give me an extra 10 % of the check that will cover any occuring fees from the bank, i guess from now on im doing the wire transfer!

    i always wonder this and assume its because the account they used for the payout is now closed. but one time i took a bodog check up to Chase and the attendant was like :ugh: this isn't a valid check! i was all WTF. but bodog cleared it up and the next one worked. weird.

    2/22/10 - As yet unconfirmed reports circulating on the popular poker message board twoplustwo suggest that FBI agents may be probing the activities of the Full Tilt Poker site, online poker's second largest and global provider of Internet poker.

    The fact that agents have allegedly been contacting players in the state of Washington, the only state where draconian anti-online gambling measures directly target the player, has been noted, although as far as is known none of those contacted has been warned that charges may be pending.

    The visits may not be aimed at prosecuting players at all, say some observers, but a preparation for the implementation of the UIGEA by enforcement agencies. The UIGEA regulations come into force on June 1st 2010 following a controversial postponement last year, and there is speculation that the reported FBI enquiries are more related to going after transactions with Full Tilt rather than individual players.

    Players who were visited unannounced by the agents appeared to confirm this view, saying that the agents were almost exclusively interested in how transactions with Full Tilt worked. Several felt that the enquiries suggested an information-seeking intention, perhaps indicating that a case was being assembled to short-circuit financial transactions with the online poker provider once the UIGEA is in effect.

    might have something to do with it? idk

  20. ;aksdjhgaksdjf'asldjfa'sdfjWTF! too lates, welcome to the doom switch :/
  21. I got an email one time from FTP saying that the check I received had to be cashed before a certain date (2 days away) because the payment processor was closing the account. I didn't have any problems, but I always deposit the checks and let them clear before I use the funds.

    no not nec.

    IF FBI agents are contacting people in the state of Washington it would have nothing to do with why my check (and a lot of other FT checks) are bouncing.

    Brandon,

    The mods of Pocketfives dont like us posting bank names on our site, but I know the bank you have, as I have an account with them. If youll recall I opened another bank account strictly for poker and Im pretty sure you know what bank it was with. (The green card I use).

    I had 2 checks of over 1k bounce from FTP at the bank you use, and was told that it had nothing to do with the account, but rather that the banks could not accept checks from the 3rd party payment processor I was using (ie. from FTP), because of the new regulations and the bill that had slipped through. If it was traced that the banks were accepting funds from the 3rd party the banks risked recieving a fine from the government for not complying with the UIGEA (or whatever it is) bill.

    Hope your bank accepts the next one thats on the way, but I doubt it, as that bank has not accepted a poker related check from me in over 6 months. Even AmScot turned me down when I tried to bring my FTP check to them after asking some questions.

  29. I used echecks to take out 600 last month for the first time and only got $553. So not sure where the no fees part is coming in at..my roomate takes out just under 1300 every month or so, and he says it has never been under 1200 he just never pays attention to exactly how much it is..

    EDIT: $557.25
  30. Just looked at my account and check bounced as well......email support w/ details etc.

    What is SOP for this? DO they put funds in your account to withdraw again at any chosen method,or they auto send another check?

    Is there compensation involved and what is the timeframe for resolution?
