since alot of withdrawal methods are now unavailable, would fulltilt consider lowering the cost of have checks delievered via UPS? or maybe allow free UPS for checks over $1k(like pokerstars)? or maybe even allow players to pay the fee in fulltilt points?

For MTTs that fill up quickly, can you have a waiting list for those who wish to get in when a player unregisters and decides not to play? It's easier than trying to click really fast when a player unregisters.

It looks like some of our questions have been answered, if a little vague:

[ QUOTE ]
Dear Tilter,

Thank you for your continued play at Full Tilt Poker.

As you are probably aware, events completely unrelated to online poker have sparked significant changes within the payment processing industry over the past week, forcing many companies to either leave or suspend their operations within the United States.

We apologize for any inconvenience these changes have caused, and want you to know that we remain committed to providing you with great payment processing convenience and the fastest customer service possible. Unfortunately, given the unusually high volume of email generated in recent days, we have been unable to respond to our players as quickly as we would like.

Rest assured, however, that we are working to remedy this situation as quickly as possible and that:

* Your money is completely safe and secure - Any money you have in your Full Tilt Poker account remains completely accessible, and is available for play or withdrawal at any time.

* We've contracted with new payment processors who are committed to the U.S. market - These processors all use payment systems unaffected by last week's developments, and will become available starting this week.

* You may withdraw money by check - If you are withdrawing $300 or more from your player account, you may request your funds by check. Please read our rules for requesting a payment by check.

* Our processing speeds will return to normal - Once our new payment processors come online, you will see a variety of new, convenient deposit options for your use, and withdrawals processed within our normal time frames of 48 hours or less.

We thank you for your patience during this time of transition and want you to know that we remain dedicated to providing you with full access to all of our games and tournaments, and the best online poker experience possible.

Sincerely,

Full Tilt Poker

So apparently there are new payment processors coming.

Personally I'm going to cash out 1/2-2/3 of my online money via check (I'll pay the $33.50 for UPS), then continue to play with my remaining roll (I had too much money online anyways).

I wouldn't be surprised if within a few weeks there are couple good payment processors available. If not, I suppose I can keep cashing out via check.

FTPDoug,
Could fulltilt start accepting e-gold as a deposit/withdrawal method?

Any update on what you are doing for players who did not sign up with an affiliate and are thus RB-less? Access to rakeback?

[/ QUOTE ]

Absolutely. I love Full Tilt but not being able to get rakeback because I somehow clicked on a banner months ago is preventing me from playing on FTP anymore. Just money lost for FTP really. Tho I understand you have to cater to your partners as well. It's just frustrating.

[Messiahkid]

Anyone know why this happens/ how to fix??

Anyone know why on FTP, say I open 16 tables to mine/ table select then narrow it down, but all the PAHud stats will be 2 people to the right (or something like that) overlaying the wrong person then it takes a few hands of me seated for them to switch to the correct stats to player?

I'm sure you're going to make a new thread soon, but I don't mind repeating myself:

Restrict the number of tables at which a player is allowed to sit to 4. Your game selection is already plenty spotty; the fish don't care, but when you have four limit games at a given level, all of which consist of the same TAGs, it actively hurts your site.

Also,

I don't know why it apparently requires a genius to program your speed tables. Seriously, it takes all of five minutes of playing at Stars to figure out that the "Sit out next blind" feature is both good and sensible. But FT either can't hire the talent or can't understand why that's so. Really retarded.

[/ QUOTE ]

You do realize restricting good TAGs to four tables will make the games much tougher, not easier, don't you?

It's a moot point anyway because they have put months into resizeable tables, something they wouldn't do for just four tables.
