Full Tilt Payout Probs?

\”Boston Pedro\” writes in with some concerns about Full Tilt\’s latest speed-bump in their ever-changing UIGEA-hampered payout processing:

Hey Dan-

I am having an issue with FTP where they owe me $4500 and previously I have not had an issue with them direct depositng money or sending me a check. Over the last month, they have \”sent my withdrawal to the processor but are having difficulties with their processesor and are not hearing back from them\”. Have you heard any similar complaints? if you post this, please do not use my name or info….thanks.

Hmm, yikes. I followed up with Pedro letting him know I recently withdrew money from Full Tilt and it took about three weeks to arrive in my bank account, and he said indeed, he had had the same experience, until recently.

Three weeks has been the norm. But this has been considerably longer, and it is concerning that they are admitting an issue.

The best I can tell you now is to be patient — Full Tilt moneychangers seem to change with regularity. And fortunately they don\’t seem like a company who\’s owners want to rip you off, so I suspect this problem will resolve itself soon. I know that\’s not the answer you\’d really like to hear, but for now it\’s the best I\’ve got.

If anyone else out there has more insight on the matter, by all means, please share.
Perhaps the more important question, however, Shmawstin Shmete, is … you are clearly continuing to do well online. So why on earth have you not become any semblance of a threat at the big-tourney live tables in Las Vegas, Foxwoods, Shmoklahoma, or wherever?
