Will I ever see this money?

pokerform

I previously had a Full Tilt account, and I made a couple of eCheck deposits which did not clear. It's been a few months now, and that full tilt account has been blocked. So I made another account recently and once again did an eCheck deposit which did not clear. However, this time I turned that $200 deposit into $5000. When I tried to withdraw $2000 out of the account, they blocked my account. This is obviously not a good thing to do, but it is what it is..

What is going to happen? Will I ever see that money? Will they just take out what I owe them and release the rest of it?

1) Stop bouncing e-cheques.
2) Stop making new accounts. It violates their ToS.
3) Kiss your money goodbye.

Why don't you ask them? Their support is pretty good and they would not "steal" your money. However if you have been making multiple accounts and fraudulent deposits, all bets are off.

FTP support is horrible compared to Stars so I wouldn't call it good but totally agree that OP should kiss his money goodbye. I would email them and be sure to word everything very nicely so as to not come off like a douche and explain to them that you were confused and did not understand the rules that you were breaking - not that hard to believe since hardly anybody actually reads TOS agreements in their entirety - in hopes that they may let you keep the remainder of the funds in your account after clearing the original bounced echeques. Its pretty unlikely imo that you'll see any of it, but for a few K, its definitely worth a try.

Be prepared to send them all kinds of documentation as well. They may require bank statements, ID verification, etc... Be patient, do what they ask. Follow up with them no more than once a week via e-mail if you have not heard anything from them in that time.
