Fulltilt recently put pressure on player withdrawal checks. After mailing a check Fulltilt sent a notice not to cash it and recredited the players account but the check was already deposited. Then, Fulltilt sent notice to hurry and deposit the check, which I'm thinking has to do with the UIGEA bank compliance deadline of December 1, 2009. This happened twice to one player for over $500 and once with another. In effect, Fulltilt doubled up these players during the withdrawal process. 
 
So I did some investigation on the UIGEA bank compliance deadline of December 1, 2009 and this it what I found. 
 
Banks cannot accommodate 'commercial' customers with gambling transactions but 'individual' accounts are not under scrutiny. 
 
Banks must block restricted transactions or pay a penalty. I still cannot find how much is the penalty. If the penalty is minimal the banks may not even regard it. Blocked restrictions include debit and credit transactions for gambling. 
 
UIGEA section 802 subchapter 5362 specifically states the definition of a BET (E)(iii) DOES NOT INCLUDE any over-the-counter derivative instrument. 
 
I understand this to mean that our withdrawal checks are explicitly excluded from the bank compliance enforcement. I hope this is correct.
