Full Tilt Poker Issues Statement About Future Plans
Full Tilt Poker players are frantically trying to figure out what is happening to this once thriving US online poker site. Finally, after several months of silence from the Full Tilt Poker site, officials at FTP have decided to issue a statement about the future. Full Tilt Poker issued the statement exclusively to the PokerNews site.
Initially, there had been several rumors about foreign investors trying to acquire the site and possibly get it back on its feet. This led players to believe that the new investors would solve the problem and that they would get their money back. However, even this has not materialized and US online poker players are becoming increasingly frustrated.
In their press release, Full Tilt Poker claimed that they were looking for investors – a statement which several poker players realize is an indication that they may not have the money to pay back their players.
And if this was not enough, the Full Tilt Poker site stayed silent through it all without addressing one of the most pressing issued faced by their members. However, in their statement the Full Tilt Poker site apologized for not addressing the player problems and claimed that since they were looking into possible investors had to keep up the confidentiality factor. Unfortunately, their explanation was not good enough to soothe the frazzled nerves of a good portion of their poker players.
After Black Friday and the closure of the top 3 poker sites in the US, it appears that Full Tilt Poker is a sinking ship. Not only are the able to pay out their players the funds that are in their player accounts, which technically does not even belong to Full Tilt Poker, but they are also unable to give out a date as to if and when players can expect to see the poker site go back online and start working again.
