PokerStars processing cashouts for US players
Quote: EvenBobAh, yes... But Full Tilt, which has far more US players than PS, is blatantly ignoring their loyal following. No emails or phone calls are being answered, no checks are being sent. And Absolute, they seem to have dropped off the face of the earth.
Full Tilt has more US players than Stars? Stars is the number one site by far. I have a hard time believing that Tilt has more US players. And since when does a poker site have a phone number you can call anyways? Or course no calls are being answered, nobody is calling. Absolute is cheating scum to begin with. But God forbid people concentrate on a positive thing for today. There's time to bitch about FTP or whatever later. But like I said all along Stars has stepped up as fast as they can like the class act they've always been.

The fact Absolute were still in business and Helmuth promoted them after their cheating scandal tells you all you need to know about that company.
Quote: lucky13Edit, I erred in my last post. For tournament buy-ins, Step1's worth $7.50 go for 500 points. Step 2 worth $27 for 1,750. Step 3 worth $82 for 5,125 FPPs. Can't wait to see what they give for FPPs. They've been pretty good so far with my dealings, and full pay for tournament tickets. I'm assuming the FPPs will be paid at a rate similar to the Step Value.
2500 points could be exchanged in the VIP Store for $25 so I'm guessing it'll be around that conversion, 1 point for 1 cent. And you'll probably have to have a min of 2500 points or something like that.

I meant to say percentage wise, oops.

Gotcha. Yeah I don't know the breakdown of Tilt's US players compared to their non-US but have no doubt that it's gotta be over 50%. If someone told me it was 60% I don't think I'd be shocked.

I read its like 55% and PS is 30%. Tilt is totally ignoring the US players, not even sending generic emails. Who were Tilts big pro sponsers? I think Mike the Mouth and Tom Dwan are two of them.

Who wasn't one of Tilt's big name players is a better question. I wouldn't say they are totally ignoring the US players, they've made a few statements. And honestly there hasn't been a ton they could do til now. More alarming to me is they haven't processed any Neteller and I believe Moneybooker cashouts since Black Friday. I know people who have gotten paid on credit cards but that tells me they got hit pretty bad with frozen accounts if they can't even process NT cashouts. If DoJ isn't going to unfreeze any money to allow US players to be paid back then they could be waiting quite a while for Full Tilt.
Quote: lucky13FWIW: Earlier this week I received 100% of the cash that remained in my PokerStars account, 100% of the value of my Step and Tournament Tickets, and nothing so far for FPPs. I wish someone had taken my up on paying 50% of the value of deposits.....
LOL no kidding. Yeah Stars paid off everything and it was in my account in less than 48 hours from the time I cashed out.
