FTP account suspended during play

Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum so my apologies if my forum skills are not up to par. I've run into a problem with full tilt poker recently and I'm wondering if you guys have any opinions or advice on what I should do.

Basically my brothers account had a chargeback on it for 50 dollars. So while I was playing I was locked out of my account. I was deep in two tournys at the time and would've placed easily. I got to watch my tables as I got blinded out.

I know multiaccounting is wrong and they've already ruled that out, but said my account is high risk as I'm related to my brother and they wan't to avoid potential losses.

I contacted my brother and he was taken care of the chargeback. But I still have no reponse from them about reimbursing me for the tournaments i was playing. Do I have a case here or am I basically out of luck?

thanks in advance

None of us know. Wait for a response.

They'll probably give your buyins back.

ok thanks, just seems a bit unfair considering i feel his account status should have no bearing on mine since all of my deposits have cleared with no problems

one of the buyins was a 150 multi, i know it may not be a lot to some but to me its a good chunk

How would they know that you and your brother aren't the same. Don't say you have different bank/cc accounts that doesn't mean a thing. I play online under three accounts--all different names--different banks and different cc's. I am very careful that none of my accounts are on at the same time and that all of accounts are on the up and up. Tell me again, how do they know????

thanks cyberpunk i'll try doing that if I don't hear back from the security guy I was working with in the next couple days.

and poorolrich i have no idea what your point is. i guess since its obviously so easy to multi account like you do, everyone else must be too. I'm sure they have a way as my other friends' accounts haven't been suspended and they've definitely played from my computer on their accounts a couple times.

who cares, this is a $50 chargeback not a hacking attempt in progress.

lock accounts all you want - obviously this is all standard - but don't do it in the middle of a session, and especially not an MTT. I can just imagine this happening in the middle of a final table. that'd be awesome.

This is the part that baffles but doesn't shock me if true coming from Full Tilt.
