[jrbick]

this is some new withdrawal option they are testing on a few players apparently. I had the option when i went to withdraw some tonight. Could do any amount >100 <3k/24hrs.

Thank you for contacting Full Tilt Poker Support about wire transfers.

After reviewing your account, we are not able to offer you the option of
a wire transfer at this time. Wire transfer withdrawals must be a
minimum of $20,000 and are typically processed within 3-5 business days.

Thanks again, and if there's anything else we can help you with, please
let us know.

Regards,

I'm pretty sure this new "bank transfer" thing is NOT the same as the old wire transfer option that has always been available for transactions >$20k.

I wish this new withdrawal method popped up for me, I'd certainly be willing to give it a go.

This is correct. It is not the pre-existing bank wire option. If they follow through w/ implementing this for all players, the implications are pretty exciting. We're basically looking at w/e Party's simplest deposit/withdrawal method was (PayPro?).

Party had IGMPay which I loved. Super fast, 100% free, no middle man account to go down in flames and take your money *cough*Neteller*cough*.

This would be great, and probably attract more fish to real money games, BUT I still think majority of hardcore fish out there from the good 'ol Party days deposited via debit or credit card that just happened to work for them (many issued by small banks still work today).

Either way, spectacular for the players if it becomes widely available (still not an option for me [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]).

Received this today re: my $250 bank transfer request...i'll post more as it continues to develop

Hello,

Thank you for your recent Bank Transfer request.

Unfortunately, we ran into some difficulties during this initial testing
phase. The issue was resolved, and Bank Transfer transactions are now
processing smoothly.

It may take a few extra days to complete your transaction in addition to
the delay with the July 4th holiday. While we expect the funds to arrive
soon, please allow up to 10 days from today's date to see the funds
credited to your account.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation, and for helping us test our
new Bank Transfer withdrawal method. Feel free to let us know when you
receive your money so that we have a better idea of real world
turnaround times.

If you have other questions, please feel free to email back. We're
always here to help.


Regards,

The Cashier Team

$250 bones in my checking account this AM from the Full Tilt bank transfer option. Total turn around time -- 7 days (requested 7/3, received 7/10)

I hope for the sake of the rest of you that FTP takes this live soon. This is outstanding.

Anyone else used this withdrawal method besides me???

Requested one for $2500 on 7/5. Hit my checking account today 7/10. Not bad at all.
