Full Tilt Poker - A Warning To You All

WVHillbilly · Mar 17, 2009

How to Make Friends and Influence People 101 right there.

OP you're an idiot if you think a deposit bonus works this way. No two ways about it.

I agree FTP could/should be more responsive but in NO WAY should you be entitled to a $250 bonus. They could have allowed you to pull out your $200 and then clear a $50 bonus, I guess. Probably better for them just to have you cash out entirely and ban the account. It will certainly save them countless future headaches.

Who/what is the AGCC?

I always thought they returned the bonus money piecemeal?/

Thats how they do it on partypoker, and ultimatebet. It seems like you have to play forever before they take their grips off five dollars of the bonus money they offer. I've never heard of a site just automatically matching your money and giving it to you as a bonus.?/

I do understand that things are different on that side of the pond, and that US citizens are the fattest, stupidest and most criminal people on the planet, but where I am from we still operate an 'innocent untill proven guilty' policy.............. no Black Water Security here thank-you very much.

I will update again when something new happens, for those whom are interested.

Doubt you will last around here long enough to give an update.

This? http://www.gamblingcontrol.org/

That must mean he is from the UK. So he said all those things about Americans when most of the online money laundering has been done by users in Russia, the Middle East, Asia, ...oh and the UK.

But we Americans ARE pretty fat as a whole. And we ARE too dumb to money launder. So I'll give him those.

I WIN at poker, and I am currently operating at a return on investment of +28%, I therefore have no need to have a huge bankroll on any site, $50 is a more-than-adequate starting block for me.

If I could have laid my hands on the full $600...

Do not add up. Also what's your screen name?

popo12 · Mar 17, 2009

Have you read the bonus release on full tilt it states...

For every fulltilt point that you earn .06 of your bonus will be released. This is probably due to the fact that I only depoisted 18$...It later says that my bonus will be released in 1.80 cent increments. So in your case where you deposited 250$ your bonus would be released in 25$ increments once you achieve the correct amount of points. I got fooled by this point bonus system as well on UB...From now on I don't even look at the bonus and just play to win money for money..gl & hope this helps

hmmmm...........I wonder why FTP chose to obtain it's licence in my country then, given all the drug shipments we receive from Colombia................a most perplexing mystery.

Like I said. American crooks are too dumb to know how to launder money online. They do it with dollar bills that can be traced and stuff. That's why you always read about them getting caught.

OK lets put some deliberaltly antagonising ignorant or stupid people on here straight

full tilt make thier money from rake and as a new member they give you some of that back as ancentive to stay at fulltilt for 6 months or however long it takes to clear it makes no difference to them if you achieve that entire bonus without ever risking more than 10 cents they get the rake for your play over the period of the bonus they do not give you anything free up front to play with you earn it they release it twenty bucks at a time
so obviously there can be no scam hes only taking off some cash he doesnt feel he needs there is nothing in terms and conditions saying you cant take full advantage of the bonus system or that you cannot withdraw some /all of that original deposit

MagicFriend · Mar 17, 2009

Okay, this thread appears to be taking a friendliar tone now, which I am grateful for.

Please will you all understand that this is not really about the bonus, but if I am offered an incentive for free, and it doesn't cost, then I would like it.

I am simply warning that through a course of action I had been locked-out of my account, with no access to my money, and I am letting you know what my actions were to prevent others from suffering.

LarryT503 · Mar 17, 2009

Sorry, but I think this one is your bad. You were trying to take advantage of the system by depositing money you didn't intend to keep there just to steal the bonus. You should have been less greedy and only deposited the $50 or at least left your $250 deposit there for a reasonable period.

Thank-you Gill and popo, advocates at last.

paumarhas · Mar 17, 2009

i aggree 100% with belgo and just about everyone else that responded.
what you did didn't make any sense and those actions eventually effect everyone else. since i'm sure FT has enough things to worry about, then someone trying to scam them.
sorry but you don't get any sympathy from me. too bad and so sad.

Debi · Mar 17, 2009

Gill just joined -this is his first post. We Americans are not that dumb.

WVHillbilly · Mar 17, 2009

Sadly MagicFriend has but one post left for the day.

I really hope you go out with a bang MF.

Maybe something about unwed mothers being a bunch of crack-addled whores who should be sterilized and their children taken from them and put to work in "camps"????

Gill · Mar 17, 2009

Sounds like yall stupid or work on full tilt
this sites a waste of time magic its not here to help players its here to defend outragious behavior from thier affiliates.
I deposited $600 then withdrew $500 to take advantage of thier bonus and they had no problem with that and so do millions of others.
To the ones banging on about him trying to steal or scam, familiarise yourselves with the system before making stupid comments

Snowmobiler · Mar 17, 2009

I am amazed how many people join CC and the 1st thing they do is bash one of the pokersites and expect everyone to join them in their problem.
This is my 1st club to join so maybe I just didnt know what to expect,but it would seem you would put your best foot forward instead of starting off complaining about something that you have to suspect that you are partly to blame.

onebourbon · Mar 17, 2009

Gill and magic wouldn't by chance be the same person in disguise? LOL

BelgoSuisse · Mar 17, 2009

OP hasn't been banned yet? Wow, the mods must be in a particularly good mood today.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialist
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

So WVHillbilly, is it you or I which is the Nazi?

Gill If I may say, first and foremost I have never depoisted on FT (Yet many on here have depoisted on FT

). Now those who have depoisted on FT, and earned the Bonus have done so in the Proper manner (Not depoisted then took the money out, hoping that the incentive for them to depoist in the first place would still be held up on the Poker Companies end and not on yours, I hope this makes sense)? Now is that a scam (Well duh, why is'nt it a scam ask yourself this question). You want something of greater and/or equal value for less then you and the other party have agreed upon. Now being blunt, the OP had done this act deliberatly, that being said and done, can-not expect ppl, to feel any sympathy for his course of action. He should be happy that FT is going to give him his money back, and that hopefully he heeds the advice of all that took the time out to try to explain to him why this had happend in the first place.

Really, you go out for the day proving Godwin's Law in only seven posts?

Lame.

Of course I guess there are still a few posts left for your Gill account! :top:

Yea but the admin is not.

But I am American and must eat my 5 gallons of ice cream first - so I can maintain my 300 pound weight. It makes me slow too....I will get to him eventually.

I think Gill is just a friend who followed him here. But hey - while I am stuffing my face I can check it out. Though probably not smart enough. And I also need to steal some money this afternoon so I can play poker. Might be too busy.
