    *** more bad news about full tilt poker ***

    So, today, numerous sources, sites, including 2+2, pocketfives, BBC, and Card player etc... confirmed today Full Tilt is pretty much bankrupt, but they are still taking in rake from international players, but not paying out US or International players. They will declare bankrupcy soon, but are trying to squeeze out the last dimes from poor unsuspecting players. Poker Stars on the flip side, IS paying out US players now and International. Some of the points the articles touched on...

    -Full Tilt accepted echecks for 7 months knowing the whole time they weren't getting deducted from bank accounts, but still allowed this to collect rake

    -They let people roll their echecks over and over again and shut down other peoples accounts when they beat fraudulent accounts. Then they have to pay out legit players who beat these people.

    -FTP paid their Pros Millions on Black Friday, but not any other customers.

    -For the past 9 months, FT has bounced 60% of players withdrawals pre Black friday

    -Full Tilt has laid off half it's work force in Dublin from 700 to 350 and has no answered 20k emails from customers

    -Full Tilt has stalled and blamed the DOJ for freezing all the money, when in fact it was just money in transfer that day that was frozen, less than 0.2% of the players total pool, however they are using this as an excuse to blame the DOJ about where the money really is and where it's spent

    -Most of the money was spent on players, high execs, trips, private jets, etc...

    -This is pretty much a textbook Ponzi scheme

    -FTP "pros" are no where to be found. The majority of team full tilt is in hiding, while the red shirt pros still have gotten no answers

    It's obvious for years FTP never segregated players money, they were suppose to do this as per KGC regulations, but instead spent it all. It' sickening. I hope they all go to jail for life.

    The OP is a drama queen and there is no evidence to back up his claims. Just another attention pinhead vying for sbr's douche of the day award.

    He has now been added to the ignore list.

    If this is true, they're pretty dodgy considering they sent me a bonus offer today including a deposit bonus

    I highly doubt they are broke. They are one of if not the top poker site, they should have good money management unless theres facts to these accusations

    Ive played on both PS and full tilt, Ive always had a hard time with full tilt but it was easier to deposit on but PS has and will always be better in many regards.

    quit asking for links and do your research. first post suggests several good sites to go to. I will add bluffmagazine, holdempokerchat, and gambler101.

    tilt is broke and was written over week ago.

    Thank you. They can google lazy bastards. It's well documented now. FT are scumbags, PS did a much better job, actually segregated funds, and are actually paying out US players now in addition to international.

    OP is just posting bullsh*t "rumors" that he made up out of his own mind. if SBR isnt going to ban him, should at least add a disclaimer to all of his posts.

    in his last post he got the name of the subsidiary company wrong with his "insider" rumors. guy is too dumb to even get his fake rumors remotely correct.

    Although, I think his last post about the "insider" information was bogus. You can see from the links I posted above that there is credence with this post. Full Tilt is in a shit storm of trouble and I would be worried if I had a lot of money locked up there.

    Full Tilt had a greater percentage of American players than Stars.

    Both sites had way too many pros that they sponsored.

    The reflection of stability and efficency can be seen in this: Stars is repaying americans as we speak...tilt is not

    im so glad i scammed full tilt before this all went down...i deposited the max ($1500) in a matter of 3 days and then dumped the cash to a friend. the next day i went to my bank and changed the account numbers and FT never got that money :-) love screwing over a company that has screwed thousands over...chalk up one for the good guys.
