We don\’t really know the affiliate world here at Pokerati, but we still sometimes get their emails. And this one reveals, I think, another important cog in the Full Tilt machinery grinding to a halt. Either that or it\’s nothing … but I\’m not really believing people these days who tell me what seems like something is nothing.
You tell me. It\’s different, that\’s for sure … I do know Poker Affiliate World is a pretty big mega-affiliate that at least at one point was owned (at least in part) by PokerNews … and with or without Tony G\’s involvement, a huge chunk of online poker signups pass through PAW in some capacity.

Subject: Full Tilt Withdrawal Option Disabled – TemporarilyDear Affiliate,
Due to recent issues with Full Tilt Poker in regards to “Black Friday” we have temporarily removed Full Tilt player transfer from our withdrawal options until further notice.
We are confident of a resolution in the near future so please feel free to use another method or wait until this option is reinstated.
Regards,
The PAW Team
Hoping someone who understands this stuff better than I can clue me in to what I\’m missing between the lines.
Meanwhile, Tony G is saying that he might skip the 2011 WSOP … supposedly because he can\’t keep up with the young players. Ahh, if only it could be that simple this year.
