If you live in the U.S. and you used to play at Full Tilt Poker, before they were forced to shut you out, then you probably got an email from the recently giving an update on their plans and progress returning player funds still held up in FullTilt accounts due to the site’s closure of U.S. operations and freezing of U.S. assets.
On Friday the site issued a statement explaining that all player funds in Tournament Dollars (T$) and tournament tickets have now been converted back into cash in the player’s account. Can the players withdraw that cash yet? is the next question.
And the ansewr is: Not yet.
Full Tilt is converting T$ at a 1:1 ratio, or $1 for every T$1. All unused tournament tickets are being converted back into their full original cash value. Ring game tickets that were unused, either in full or in part, and have expired as of April 15 (“Black Friday” to the online poker community) have been credited as cash for the full value of their remaining unused portion.
Additionally, players’ Iron Man and Black Card statuses will be left as they are, even if the players can’t get back onto the site.
But what Full Tilt is still unable to do is refund any of these monies to players’ hands. That, they say, they’re still working on.
While many players have vociferously expressed their displeasure at Full Tilt Poker’s holdup in getting U.S. player funds refunded, what with Poker Stars having already begun the task, Full Tilt Poker pro Tony G. issued a Tweet requesting players give the site their patience as they are doing the best they can.
Hey Tony, no one made that agreement when they put their money on full tilt. Full tilt has plenty of money and is still making tons of money with over 51,000 players playing right now. How much money are they gona make just today a lone?
Time they have been given plenty of time (they screwed up now it’s on them to fix it). A dollar was worth a lot more 3 to 4 months ago then it is now Tony (come on ur a smart guy figure it out).
F&@CK YOU TONY G!!!!!!!!!
