Title: Making a withdrawal from Full Tilt
Post by: wormster on February 19, 2009, 01:13:38 AM


Hi guys,

I'm looking for some advice. I recently deposited $50 on Full Tilt using my Maestro debit card. Having won a few dollars but thoroughly untrusting of their software I've decided to take the money & run. However, there seems to be no option of withdrawing my money back to my account via my debit card.

I don't have a Neteller account & I've tried their direct bank transfer but that didn't work. Their "customer support" is practically non-existent.

Does anyone know how I can get my money back from Full Tilt? Or are they a bunch of thieving bastards?

Cheers,
Steve

Brag imo


Why don't you trust the software, its the nuts!!!!

My advice would be to swap with someone on stars.

I'm only a little bragger, so I managed to turn $50 into $143!

I'm generally distrusting of all internet poker - it's a computer program written by a human being.

I don't have a poker stars account and I never will.

As I see it, Full Tilt have let me deposit money through my debit card & now won't let me withdraw it. That's dishonest in my book!

Has anyone else had this problem with Full Tilt? Or have you managed to withdraw the money to your debit card?

Cheers,
Steve

I have used the bank transfer option with success on a few occasions, how comes you can't use that? If not I think requesting a cheque is probably best.

Not sure Flushy swap option will be open to you either if you are newish customer to FTP, as they don't let you p2p transfer for the first few months.

Have you managed to do that on Full Tilt? If, so, what am I missing?

I think you will find Maestro/mastercard do not allow credits on cards from gaming sites.


Pretty sure thats the case, a simple email to Full Tilt customer services is all thats needed.

They will tell you the score.

I sort of finding that the "customer services" are useless. The maestro card has worked fine with blonde, blue sq, betdaq, hills, & ladbrokes (not all of poker).

I'm fairly angry about this (and I'm not pissed!). They let me deposit money with them, knowing full well I could never withdraw money in the same way. That is dishonest. I'll be asking OFCOM to take a look at their adverts & their sponsored  programming on TV.

Full  (http://blondepoker.com/index.php?q=node/12206)Tilt (http://blondepoker.com/index.php?q=node/12206)  to neteller is the nuts

I don't have a neteller account.

So basically Full Tilt should not have the deposit with a Debit Card option as no one can withdraw on it?

You could try reading the terms and conditions before you unleash to ofcom about them!!!

You can withdraw via WebMoney, Neteller, Moneybookers, click2pay, clickand buy, local bank transfer or by a cheque.

I don't think it can be that hard to sort one of those!!

Why will you never open a stars acct?

clickandbuy is a BT operation i think should be about to use a debit card with them

I find the deposit using a debit card method very useful myself, i would rather they keep it.

Betfair withdrawal via Maestro card works - as long as you used the came card to deposit at least once.

Full tilt only allow you to withdraw to visa debit cards, you can't take money out via switch. Had this issue a while back but think its covered in the t&c's.

Open a stars account and join the 21st century!!

No they don't. I have a Visa debit and opened an account because I was told I could withdraw back to it. Now the software doesn't give me that option so I don't play.

I've never had any problems either doing a bank transfer or withrawing via cheque. First option is better as it takes less time. What went 'wrong' with the bank transfer?

Btw if you haven't already posted this on THM then i'd suggest doing that because as THM are affiliated with Full Tilt they're usually pretty good at sorting any problems.

The bank transfer just bounced straight back to my full tilt account.

So if I'm reading this right, I'm alone i having this problem & alone in thinking that a gaming site is wrong to offer a way to debit money but not offer the same way to withdraw it?

As for not having a poker stars account, I would rather trust online casinos than play their software.

Good News, you can just play in this guys poker room, he might not be the sharpest tool in the box but he has developed an ingenius system just for folks like yourself who don't trust the software.

Why not just open a Neteller account which is free and then link it to your UK bank account.

It works for me...

Hey Tom, glad to see I'm not the only one. I'm hoping I've sorted it now (not via a debit card!). As soon as that money hits my bank account, I'm closing the Full Tilt account. My bank were very concerned to hear that they let players deposit via debit cards but don't let us withdraw via the same method. They suggested that Full Tilt could only being doing this for their own benefit!

I like being able to deposit using my debit card, its very convenient, if i wish to withdraw then what i do is put Rookie in a few tournaments a bank transfer or exchange with someone on stars and take it out from there, it really is not the end of the world.

visa or visa debits are fine to withdraw from, if you have a visa card register that, and then withdraw on to it. Don't get a US cheque as the charges at your bank will make it pretty worthless for a 140$.
