I have a different problem, I was playing in this tourney and I cut a deal. We chopped and he was supposed to send me $1,000 after it was over. He never did. I have 17 kids to feed and I need that $1,000.

What do you guys think I should...

Never mind, it just arrived, thanks anyway.

Though it may have been a mistake, I don't like pokerstar's stance on this. Allowing users to reverse trades allows scammers to scam people out of ftp-stars $$ exchanges. There should be no excuse for you to mistakenly transfer the money to a wrong person especially since stars has a measure to show the cities' name.

But to OP, you are an idiot.

OP needs customer title like "PS be taken my monies"

Wow, this has to be a troll. Because first off no lawyer would have told this clown such info. No Nova player on PS would be this stupid and have this big of a hard on against PS. Also I mean "Finders Keepers"??? Are you [censored] serious? You know nothing about U.S. law or World law. There are plenty of documented cases of a person or company receiving money in error and that the correct thing was done by that money being properly returned to its rightful owner.

While I will not comment on the specific case as we have addressed it with the player in question, your worry here is unfounded. The only situation in which we will reverse a transfer is when a player indicates that they have put the wrong name in, and indicates who the transfer was meant for. We then review and determine whether the story is plausible; if it is, we direct the money on to the intended recipient - *not* back to you.

Example of a transfer we would fix in this manner: "I sent to "Rounders", I meant to send to "Rounders1"

Example of a transfer would not fix in this manner: "I sent to "Rounders", I meant to send to "JoeyKnish".

Should people be more careful about their transfers? As always, yes. But in cases of a clear and honest and obvious simple error, we will correct the mistake. Trying to reverse a transfer by changing your mind, we will not.

We will also reverse a transfer done incorrectly as a result of our error. For example, if during the transfers to settle a deal for the Sunday Million, if we make an error, we will obviously reverse the transfers to the correct amounts as well.

HostJacobwned.

I actually do not mind this policy as it seems to rely on common sense and doesn't seem prone to abuse.

This is yet one more form of what people have been craving at Full Tilt forever now.

Thumbs up, Stars.
