Us players are just hoping they can settle and don't need to use our money to pay for it.
#WHY DID FULL TILT POKER SHUT DOWN FULL#
I really can't see the FBI and US government asking Full Tilt to completely shut-down because of their location. I don't know what this means, but it's at least a little comforting. I haven't gotten an email back yet, but in an initial message that pops up when you open the program it says "all players money is safe and secure".
I can still sign in and view my account, but when I click Withdraw, a message pops up saying I can't.

Yes, 6 digits as in $100k+!!! This morning I had to install an update to the software and now I cannot play because of my US address and IP.

As of right now me and my roommate ( professional online gamer with a 6-digit bankroll tied up in this mess and don't know what's going to happen. I also have a good amount of money on PokerStars. I am a college student who built it from $500.00 2 months ago. I currently have about $3,500 on Full Tilt Poker. I played on all 3 of these sites at one point or another, and have money on two of them. If not, it would be an egregious error by the US Gov. All in all, I hope the money I have on those accounts is returned at some point. Some colleagues of mine have reported Poker Stars representatives calling them by phone and their cooperation is encouraging to say the least. I have no inside information about this, just my own educated guesses and experiences with the Neteller fiasco of a few years ago. I think that the money will eventually be able to be withdrawn, but that process could take up to 6-8 months or longer. I did have a check processed by Full Tilt on Friday but I am skeptical if that will ever arrive. Bank wires haven't been processed since early March (the failed wires were eventually returned to the poker accounts). That said, all of my withdrawal options are currently closed at the sites. I have large amounts being held by Poker Stars and Full Tilt at the moment (5 figure accounts), and while I am as frustrated as anyone else about the current climate of online poker, I am still somewhat confident that we will see the money again. I just read your article about if online poker players would see their money again and I have a few comments.That's why many players have been going on poker message boards, offering to trade their frozen accounts for cash - right now, often at pennies on the dollar - simply because they need the money. Online poker has become a full-time job for many people in this country and now their income is locked behind some else's vault. The money is still there (for now), but to those who need it that's small consolation. Until the FBI agrees to release those funds - which they won't until they're satisfied with the case - it will be pretty much impossible for the website to write checks, or for checks that have already been written to be honored. The bottom line is that the 75 accounts that were seized by the FBI, processed pretty much all of the transactions involving U.S.-based poker players.
The sites insist the money is "safe," but some players are not able to add or withdraw funds - or gamble it in "real money" games - because that money is probably in one the seized accounts.
Some European players have also experienced difficulties, even though online poker is not illegal where they are. A few of the people we've heard from were able to process a request for withdrawal sometime this weekend and have been told a check is on the way, but are unsure if they will ever see that paper, or be able to cash it once they do.
