Is FTP doing enough ?

I was lookin through all the last weeks post and noticed alot of complaints about FTP payouts for U.S customers.  my question, Is FTP doing anything other than bullshit you around? I understand that it is difficult for them with the UIEGA but are they really doing all they can?  The company makes millions and millions of dollars from U.S customers yet they seem to not be doing all they can do.  What is it gonna take for them to stand up and do something for their customers.  some sort of organized boycott?  (probably not, as degens have no self control).  Or is this the begginging of the end for online poker in the U.S ?

Poker is not going anywhere.  I don't know whether they are doing enough or not.  Eventually, hopefully within 6-12 months, things will get talked about on capitol hill and regulations will be put in place (hopefully...).  Other people may have different opinions, but I just don't see it going away.

Yes, I don't quite understand this.  For the first time I withdrew a little bit of money from Absolute Poker to see how there withdrawl process worked for Money Gram. I had money in hand < 24hrs.  Why doesn't Tilt use Money Gram??

Obviously they are not doing enough.  They are taking advantage of the fact there is little to choose from if you want action on-line.

I like the blind structure at FT better than Stars and like the smaller field sizes in the MTT's, not to mention I get rakeback there. 

I am considering moving to Stars and play 180's or something though.  Full Tilt, weather their fault or not, is simply not trying because they don't have to.

Right now they are Stars best PR group though.

GG FT.

Please see engineers post and send the letter to your congressman. Takes 30 seconds of your time. Payouts were never a problem until the gov't got involved and took away our rights.

I agree - FT is not doing nearly enough. Hell, thery aren't doing ANYTHING!
No warning - NO explanation - No hope
I just sat down to fire up some tables but found myself staring at the lobby screen. I couldn't decide what to play. I play to win. But if I win and there's no payoff/out, what the hell is the point. I win and can't get my money off the site - USELESS!

Spit it out FT - whats the deal?
