FullTiltPoker's gambling license suspended - Page 3

We would like to bring your attention to the following two press releases: PokerStars Official Statement, June 29 2011 In light of today's news that Alderney Gambling Control Commission has suspended Full Tilt Poker's license, PokerStars wishes to assure our customers that their funds are completely safe and that our operations are completely unaffected. The Isle of Man Gaming Commission today re-affirmed that PokerStars' worldwide licensing is intact and that our operations are in full compliance with all of its requirements. PokerStars' online operations continue as normal and all funds in players' accounts are safe and available for withdrawal as usual with no delays. PokerStars also remains in full compliance with our licenses in other jurisdictions where we are regulated, including France, Italy and Estonia. As provided under our licensing, PokerStars has always maintained the integrity and security of our players' funds, by keeping all such funds in segregated bank accounts, always available for immediate withdrawal. Since the actions of US Department of Justice in April, we have returned more than $120 million to US players and continue to act upon requests as they are received. Players outside the US have not been affected and all cash-outs have been processed without delays. Further, PokerStars entered into an agreement with the Department of Justice which expressly confirmed the company's ability to operate outside the US. We will continue to operate as a responsible corporate citizen and are committed to serving the needs of our customers in complete compliance with our regulatory requirements. IOM Gambling Supervision Commission Statement, June 29 2011 The Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission wishes to make it clear that the licensing status of PokerStars in the Isle of Man remains unchanged following today's statement from the Gambling Control Commission in Alderney. Alderney is a separate jurisdiction from the Isle of Man and the operation in question is separate from PokerStars. PokerStars continues to demonstrate compliance with its licence conditions in the Isle of Man. PokerStars continues to offer withdrawals to any players who wish to withdraw their funds, including players in the USA to whom PokerStars does not currently offer real-money gaming. The official statement from the IOM Gambling Supervision Commission can be found here. We would like to thank you for your continued support. Best Regards, The PokerStarsPartners Team www.PokerStarsPartners.com

Lol, not really. How can so many of you be so ignorant? When 2 weeks passed after PS made a deal w/ DOJ and paid players but FTP didnt, you didnt think something was odd? Did u think they just hated americans? that they wouldnt pay us but they had ur funds safe somewhere?

I don't not really know exactly what's been going on, but I thought FTP's money and the american players had their money in the same account that was frozen, but not europeans. That's why we have been able
to withdraw.

I only had a couple hundreds laying around after I moved my bankroll a long time ago and I withdrew them to avoid getting my money stuck on FTP(even though it felt unlikely).
Calling people idiots for not withdrawing seems a bit over the top. I suspect that you thought something like this might happen, might being the keyword, and now that it has happened
you spring forth saying you knew it would happen and that people that didn't insta withdraw are idiots.

I just find it very annoying when somebody says"I told you so!" after something bad has happened to somebody, especially in a malicious way.

Moneybookers just dropped cooperation with FTP permanently:

Dear X,

As a Moneybookers customer, you already know you are the most important part of our business. We always make sure you receive the safest service.

For this reason we have stopped accepting deposits made to Full Tilt Poker.

There are extraordinary circumstances behind this situation which are beyond our control. We will not comment on these, just take appropriate action that protects our customers.

We have requested that the Moneybookers logo be removed from Full Tilt Poker, but cannot do any more to make sure it is not displayed. Moneybookers is no longer available from Full Tilt Poker, and you will receive an error message if you attempt to use our service there.

We want you to continue to enjoy your gaming with Moneybookers, and recommend you have a look at our gaming promotion page.

As we have stated, this is an extraordinary situation, and we will try to have all connected issues resolved as soon as possible.

Should you have any questions, please contact our customer support.

Best wishes,

Your Moneybookers Team

Even if FTP is going to be back on its feet there will be no players left there imo. So FTP might easily declare bankrupsy ? or what do u guys think...
