Has anyone had any of these sorts of problems with Full Contact Poker?

[/ QUOTE ]

I am having trouble with both FCP and Pokes.

On Oct 13 I requested a mid-5-figures cashout from FCP. They sent me a note saying it was going to take a while. On 10/19 I received 30% of it in NETeller. On 10/22 I received another 23%. On 10/26 I received another 12%. As of today (11/23), 40 days after the initial request, the remaining 35% is still nowhere to be seen.

On the same day, 10/13, I requested a similar sized cashout from Pokes. I've received none of it after 40 days.

I think it's likely that neither site has seen any of this money from FutureBet, who has simply stolen it while it was in transit from OnGame. But FCP is bigger and is better able to cover when their processor walks off with a few million and stops taking their calls.

it definitely looks like futurebet is the core problem for anyone who knows this companies history. a simple search through any review company like casino meisters or pokerroomreview will give you some examples of futurebet's past. from carnaval to bayou to this, the problems with them have not stopped. the only thing in common in all these cases, among tens of others, is futurebet.

in pokes' case, speculation seems like futurebet used their money to advance the new network their launching digital gaming network or something. i hope everyone gets paid but i also hope that network and futurebet fail to the ground. good luck.

I did what was described in this thread. I emailed that guy from ongame and the email address from Reno.net in the same mail, describing my situation. That was friday and I just got the money (it's now monday).

Apparently Reno.net isn't the same as Pokes Poker, but the problem was exactly the same as described here. Also futurebet, etc.

I sent them an email Sunday evening and 12 hours later I had all my outstanding withdrawels in my Neteller account.

I had waited for close to a month for the first of them, but I pretty sure thing will work out, as I haven't played at the site for a month due to vacation, so should they decide not to pay some players, I think I would be a more likely candidate as I not currently contributing any rake until I'm back from my holiday.

anyone else experiencing a case of the missing account balance? my balance, which should be 16K, is currently listed as $0. nancy from futurebet told me that the money is in the process of being moved to the new network, although i'm a little suspicious as no one else here has reported any similar problems. has anyone else been having this problem?

lol.

i just got an email as im sure lots of you did about pokespoker having our money secure and that it will get done on the 8th december.

i forgot i had withdrawn from that site, which i just checked was the 9th october.

it still says, for $1,175, that my cashout is pending, ive checked my neteller and it never arrived.

lol. im happy ive got $1,175 i forgot about. but in EV terms its probably about $400. lol.
