Suppose FTP reopens..
Would you play? Is your money safe? We already know they cannot afford to repay US players.
They have lost their license.
Moneybookers left them.
France has sued them.
So really, do you want them to reopen to play or just get your money out?
I am trying to decide if\when they reopen, if I should bother running tournaments there.
i think you should let it play out for a little bit. if US players start getting their money in pieces , then go for it , if not hold an extra carbon tourney. one more question , if they reopen , will US be allowed?
If\when they reopen, if I where you I'd wait a while before running any tourney's. Wait to see what the reviews are and by what our members have to say, should they decide to return to Full Tilt. I'd return as long as my money is still there. My money there is all from winnings, since I never made a deposit.
I just want my money,,,, Why would anyone trust them again ? Of course I'd rather see another FR on Carbon,,,,,the whole world has access to Carbon,,, just my thoughts
agreed with previous poster, i want my money that is left, at least i got my money back from pokerstars, full tilt is full of bs...anybody with a sensible mind would not go back, but we are talking about poker players, so who knows
If they are sold to investors, pay out players, install new management, why not playing there?
Ok full tilt has had problems etc...... what I go on is the amount of players playing or just online,,,,in the latter terms the amount of players online and playing tells its own story,so I say go try the site again etc.
I wouldnt say they were a bent company, but got mardy when the fbi investegated etc,hence targetting not payin those from USA out.
Ps,,,does any1 know how much they owed USA players compared to the rest of world ?,that would be an interesting addition.
You are an American business (albeit a tiny one), right? <--- rhetorical questionQuote:

I don't often find myself "searching my soul" before I make too many business decisions... I figure if I am in a career that is that morally questionable... I need a new job and shouldn't waste time "searching" in a place that won't get me a new job.Quote:

For me, there is now no chance I would deposit at Full Tilt. I would definitely still play free-rolls there. I still love the software...
Well, definitely is going to be really tough to trust on FT again as everyone used to trust. But, if they opens again and pay every players (US players or not), I would play again.
Of course, that the first thing that I want if they open is my cash out. But, I would deposit again, but not that much money as I used.
I agree with you. If they pay everyone that have money there, they will prove that they are on the way to become the trustable poker room that they used to be one day.Quote:

they will pay sure..
+1 @ gefishy :)
when ftp opens.. i am sure there be some free money for us poker players to play with.. LOL..
i will take what remaining funds have left there..
i assume ftp is gonna give like free money, or promotions etc.. will see how they play out..
i will still play all freerolls i can, i dont depoist..
I will defnetly play again there when they reopen. They send me a mail that the gaming commission will hear them end of July and i hope they get the lizens back.
I love the Software for the great Gameplay and i miss Rushpoker.
Hope it doesnt take so long.
I might not play there, assuming us allowed. Software was ok, but their micro stake selection was crap in comparison to stars. So I don't miss ftp, and wouldn't really play there, unless staked by someone.
FTP is going to be in big trouble no matter how it reopens. They've lost a whole lot of momentum and in this game, it's all about critical mass. I just don't see it happening again. Too many problems to date. Too bad too. I wish some of the other sites would just buy em out and use the platform. Zab, I'd say wait and see. If you have a ton of ppl playing again, why not? It's good for your business model. As always GL n be safe all.
dont care either way the US wont be able to play so oh well
ya umm ftp has gone downhill so fast in last couple of months its crazy. but if it comes back who cares, mainly cause im from US
Don't. Run them at Stars/Entraction/iPoker.
Problably i will play...But i will wait a little...
I played FTP about 3 years ago and really didn't like it much so I deleted it. Best move I ever did. If it came back I might take a glance to see if any changes to the software have been done, but if it's identical to the old then it's going in the deleted bin again.
Nothing much have changed for those past 3 years I think, but still a good software. :D
ive lost all respect for ftp and will never play thier site again
