Yeah. Right now, I am so glad that the FT support service did not help me get my money onto their site (after lots of emails requesting help). LOL

You run so good!

Why doesn't FTP just be honest?

"Thank you for contacting us and attempting to cash out. We're sorry, but due to unusually high demand and the fact that we just loss our ass to the DOJ, we're unable to process your request at this time. We were going to feed you a line of bullshit about needing to verify your identity or that NETeller is backed up but we decided that would waste both of our time, and frankly, we cannot even afford that right now"

Good point. If they were going to do something 'shady', it seems like their best play would have been to keep servicing US players. To believe something shady is going on now, you'd have to believe Full Tilt would (1) ban US players (2) sign an agreement, AND then (3) NOT give US players their money BUT (4) service International players. That just doesn't make sense.

Yeah, exactly where my head is at. And this too...

Full Tilt's customer service was terrible before the shit hit the fan, now they are probably so backed up with emails they probably aren't even close to being able to keep up with them.

Bingo!


Now, if FTP were to ever get reintroduced into the US players, I wouldn't play there. This terrible CS is inexcusable, so don't get me wrong - I'm not justifying it. Stars has been pretty awesome about this so major props to them. However, I just don't think FTP's poor CS has much to do with our money being returned at this point. At least I don't think we have the information to make that conclusion at this point.

Also, I read some news on 2p2 that FTP plans to give us some news soon.

Watch it's like "We've settled out of court with the DOJ, and Americans can continue playing and depositing/withdrawing."

Lulz... Like that one site that pays you your actual EV? Eg. you get paid 85% of the pot when you get it in AA vs KK...

He said he was one of the people that initiated the internet. I swear there was also video of him standing in front on congress where he said that he did invent it which I would assume was an oops.

He says in this vid he was one of the people in Congress that initiated creating the Internet. Thing is he wasn't in Congress long enough to have done this. The internet was live in 1969. I was on the internet as a child in the 80s. NOT the WWW. The WWW came later in the mid 90s yes. Anyway you slice this it's BS.

this states how the net was online in '69

Yes, he words himself poorly, but I'm not denying that. I'm saying he didn't claim to have invented the internet, and he didn't.

What Vint Cerf has to say about Al Gore, and his contribution to the internet as we know it, should be rather relevant to this. "While it is not accurate to say that VP Gore invented Internet, he has played a powerful role in policy terms that has supported its continued growth and application, for which we should be thankful."

PS $ in my bank account now.

Mine also is in my bank with the status pending (which means it's on their end to just make it accessible to me I think)

So congrats pokerstars on unbelievably awesomeness on putting customers first....I will never forget you

Any news on AP/UB and what there doing?

I asked my 8 ball and it said "Outlook not so good" ... but seriously, nothing but awkward silence from AP/UB and speculation has generally been "Outlook not so good" because it's AP/UB. Their reputation precedes them.

Wonderful. Every time I email them they send me the same auto response email.
