PokerStars buys Full Tilt, and 5dimes wont see any of my Full Tilt $$

[Valorem]

PokerStars purchases FTP for 750 million dollars. 300 something million goes to players repayment and the rest for the software and fines by the US DOJ. Stars will run both sites seperately.

Wow when Black Friday came Stars repayed Us players quickly. Tilt never did. I have had over 4k stuck on FT for over a year. I never thought I would get it back....wow so I am going to keep half and spend half.

Ah where does the 5dimes bit come in. I had a decent online casino run in September of last year at 5dimes. Pulled a lot of money of the site to the point where my career cashouts exceeded my deposits. Over the last few months, I have made deposits and lost them all. Of course, I am not eligible for any rewards program...not even for the Mad casino bonus on my deposits. I am not eligible for referals or anything like that anymore. The site will not budge....I would love to have a small roll and bet the entire season on baseball and not touch it for the season. Now I can...too many other A+ sites where I can get a decent deposit bonus. 5dimes is the best at what they do but the refusal to budge on any bonus issues..redeposits or likewise perks force me to go elsewhere.

Way to go Pokerstars

The DOJ killed the Tapie deal so Stars could buy and repay the USA players and get the $$$ back in the USA

We've had a lot of enquiries and there's lots of speculation on the forums, so I wanted to address the PokerStars chatter. As you know, PokerStars is in settlement discussions with the U.S. Department of Justice. As such settlement discussions are always confidential, we are unable to comment on rumors. As soon as we have infor
mation to share publicly we will do so.

Thank you.

Full Tilt must have had some seriously bad management. They started doing this check thing where you could deposit via e-checks. They never once cashed any of my e-check deposits. Naturally I never won anything to cashout either but they basically gave me a $500 freeroll for a while.

Think I had about $400 ish when Black Friday hit...Will be nice to have access to more gambol money. No doubt it will still take awhile to hammer out the details.

Once the sale is complete I think it will move rather quickly...stars took about two weeks to issue refunds after black friday
