FullTilt Has My Money Hostage

[Brooklynbum]

There's been a lot of problems at FullTilt with regards to players getting their money off the site.

First the echecks option is worthless.

Then the checks they send are bouncing.

Then they eliminate the moneygram option.

I have no options left. Anybody have the same problems?

What is the solution???

Checks are the only solution right now. I just kinda find it funny, how they can willingly and easily TAKE your money but getting it back is such a hassle.

Only other option I can think of, is to use a site like PokerTransfersOnline. Basically, someone who wants Full Tilt funds in exchange for funds on another site that you are able to withdraw from. So say you have an account at PokerStars, you can trade funds and then withdraw from PokerStars. Just a thought...

Yeah i've had the same problem. I live in the UK and for some reason when i cashed out through the company click2pay i got a cheque in euro's which my bank then charged me to convert to pounds. So as an alternative i had to make a minimum depsoit with my visa credit card because for some unknown reason i couldn't cash out to my visa debit card. So now i cash out to my credit card which as a result now has large amounts of credit on it for which i am earning no interest. You could probably make a deposit and tell them the card your using is stolen or that you are an identity fraudster and they wouldn't care as long as they got their money. But if you want to cash out, security is all of a sudden extreamly important and you must go through many stages to prove who you are. Even once you've done that they try to come up with other excusses why you can't cash out. I just don't trust the site, im sure one day they will just close the site, take all the players money and just dissappear forever.

things seem to have returned to normal. bank transfers are only taking 2-3 days and i just got a check in 4-5 days.

where do you live?

[iceveins0901]

I live in Iowa, US, and just cashed out 2k in a bank transfer, it was processed monday at 8 am, and was in the bank thursday sometime before 12 pm. But the bank transfer option is the only option available to me at this time.

lol....I'm sure everybody in here will trust you!

they sent me a check via regular mail, had it in 5 business days, cashed it with no problem

I just withdrew $400 about a week and a half ago via check by mail. I live in the bay area, California and got my check about 7 days later (not business days, total days)
Went into Wells Fargo and cashed it without a problem.

[bossmanisme]

withdrew by check in the last week, got it in 4 days. another on the way. live in vegas.

i'm actually really pleased with full tilt. a lot of people complain but i really haven't ever had a problem. e-mails sent to them generally only take 1-3 days to get a response (which i don't think is bad) (i think it also helps if you send it to the specific category, not just "support@ft"). though i have heard of a lot of people having problems with response time.

Thanks for the heads up! was thinking about depositing money there..but i think i will wait..hope things work out for you..what a bummer! good luck..

[hpplaya]

I have cashed out a few times on Full Tilt. After the inital mumbo Jumbo to prove who I am.. I had no problems.. I just deposit the checks in my bank account and they clear within 3 days... The checks usually come within 7 days after cashing out..

Unless you are depending on your poker winnings for survival I don't think there is any real withdrawal issues

[Jonathank]

cash outs taking forever again. be patient.
