Crazy what site is next?
Regulator Shuts Full Tilt Poker Site - WSJ.com
Full tilt lost their license because they failed to keep players money seperate to their own money. This isnt because american players are banned. Its because as a gambling company they have to pay out on bets accepted. They dont have the money to pay out all the americans who have money on the site because they kept players money in the same accounts as the companies money. These accounts were either siezed or frozen. Im pretty sure this has to be a breach of its gambling license so their license was revoked.
As a result of this it is basically illegal for full tilt to allow games on their site in any jurisdiction that requires a license so full tilt had to pull the plugs themselves.
Whats worse is i read a post on another site from a person claiming to work for full tilt who posted 2 weeks ago that " On the 29th of June full tilt will default on paying us players money owed and will then cease" For someone to just guess this date and for this to happen cant be a coinsidence. Therefore full tilt happily allowed people to deposit all this time knowing that today players will not be able to get any money withdrawals until atleast the end of july when the trial is due.
This shows full tilt to not care about anyone but themselves. Im sorry for anyone who has money there but they got what they deserved,
Lets wait and see what will happen with FullTilt
Looks like Full Tilt finally when tilt. It should have practiced safe bankroll management :p
ftp is gone? lol well aother day in the illegal online world..live poker is always there for most of us....It aint quite like clicking the game away..its actually really fun....but not convienient...
i just hope they have enough in the accounts they seized to pay off... this had to happen when i ft 3 mtts in 1 week booooooo
This was posted yesterday
they probs can sell the software be good idea what you all think tb
Yeah imagine if they did sell the software as part of a network instead of the crappy software most of these sites give us as poker. Who else, besides FullTilt, out there has poker software that you play for real money on a phone? That is the bleeding edge of technology. And some times when you are on the bleeding edge, you fall off the cliff.
i think phil ivey saw something coming and try to get away from them, but fulltilt not giving usa players their money back was the sign of epic collapse
And to think it was one of the top sites to be trusted... I'm not sure how I feel about the pro players that endorsed it.
i blame the freerollers shuttin down ftp.LOL
R.I.P. Full Tilt :(
Well Pokerstars is still #1 and I guess will be for a looooonnnnnggg time
any news on full tilt yet ? thanks
another one bites the dust but I heard they are teaming up with Bodog in some sort of way!
Bodog seems to be an okay site,, I've played there for 4 or 5 years,, no prob getting my money from them...
havenīt heared anything new on Fulltilt atm
Open in next 24hrs im sure
why is everyone just guessing what day its gonna open.
Full Tilt deal could be sealed next week | eGaming Review
This article just says deal may be sealed by next week which would prob mean atleast a week but probly more til it opens.
For the last week i have been seeing people come in here and say full tilt will definately be open within 24hrs with absolutely no proof other than a feeling. It looks like they wont get their license back til the deal is done. And deals this big dont usually get done in 24hrs. Hopefully all will work out for everyone but dont get your hopes up for a reopening anytime this week.
Shut up prawn
ya well full tilt has been going downhill fast, im american anyway so screw em
yeah fok FT, Im moving my 4 dollar roll elsewhere :)
We all waiting for it be UP :D.

I agree, and I see from Pictures from this years WSOP people are wearing the FTP logos.Quote:

I'm really upset about FTP shutting down! I mainly played "play money" on there for fun and enjoyed it very much so. Hopefully they will eventually be back! :(
I didn't like their avatar choices. I like the option of choosing my own.
I think you were on the wrong site wallman you should have been on Kitty Island i hear they have wonderful Avatars:)
dont really give a dman full tilt always suck ed kalkjs always whill blbahbhl
Will ftp ever be back open for usa players ?
I don't think anyone knows the answer to that, I think they still have court pending, and it might get tricky with how the US will want its players regulated. Personally I am thinking it is slim, but one never knows.Quote:
