I analysed it like this.
Quote:No individual player accounts were ever frozen or restrained, and each implicated poker company has at all times been free to reimburse any player’s deposited funds. In fact, this Office expects the companies to return the money that U.S. players entrusted to them, and we will work with the poker companies to facilitate the return of funds to players, as today’s agreements with PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker demonstrate.is saying
we the US government do not want to piss off US players, because we know that these same players are the ones we will be going after for our own online poker rooms. And these are the same players who will be paying taxes or contributing to US regulated rooms who will pay the taxes.
Don’t piss off the players, because those are the guys u have to keep happy in the end. They make everyone money.
Have you seen the Facebook DOJ page?
Lots of pressure from there – you have to click “most recent” to see the thousands and thousands of messages left there.

By the way, am I the only one who did not get any communication whatsoever from Full Tilt’s affiliate department regarding their (current) status quo?

Full Tilt stopped caring about affiliates….oh, say 3 years ago? You only matter to them as an affiliate if you’re delivering 500+ RMP’s per month.
Not the best program IMHO.

No…but in this instance…I am not sure I can blame them.
They likely thought that affiliates “knew” what was going on from all the media coverage and secondly, that this was likely the end for their businesses so why bother.

Best Regards,
The PokerStarsPartners TeamNice tactic that the poker rooms use to pay affiliates – paying it into a playing account. I made about $50-$100 a month from Full Tilt and the minimum withdrawal amount is $50. Last month I had about $40 so tried to play my way up to $50. I got to $49.94, I’d calculated the betting amounts on the last bet so it would come to over $50 but forgot about the rake. I went onto the micro limit tables to try to get the six cents I needed but… a series of catastrophes left me with $0. Nice tactic indeed.
