A Pleasant Full Tilt Statement!

[lightfungus]

I don't know if this is regurgitated news around here, but I thought it summed things up and pointed the spotlight on some facts that should make people at ease about playing online. Even though I wasn't worried, I still had doubts about the future...


Dear Tilter,

Full Tilt Poker is here to stay!
As an online poker player, you have probably heard about the new legislation passed by the U.S. Congress earlier this week that attempts to prevent you from being able to transfer money to online gaming sites.

While this new law has prompted some sites to announce plans to abandon the U.S. market in coming days, we assure you that Full Tilt Poker will continue to provide all of its players - both inside and outside of the United States - with a full complement of real money ring games and tournaments for their enjoyment.

After consultation with numerous legal experts in this field, we want to make you aware of the following:

* Legal
The new U.S. legislation does not in any way attempt to criminalize the act of you playing online poker. By playing online at Full Tilt Poker, you are not breaking any U.S. Federal laws.

* Full Access
The passage of the new Internet Gaming law will not have any impact on your day-to-day experience at Full Tilt Poker. We will provide all of our players, everywhere in the world, with full access to all of our games and tournaments.

* Easy Deposits and Withdrawals
We will continue to provide our players with all of the safe, secure and convenient methods for transferring money to and from the site. In fact, in recent discussions with our payment processors, we have been assured that this new law will have no immediate impact on their day-to-day business. And as always, any monies that you have on deposit with Full Tilt Poker remain completely safe and secure.

Furthermore, we firmly believe that online poker is not encompassed by this new legislation. In any event, we will continue to lobby for an express carve-out for online poker and for your right to play a truly American game from the privacy of your own home and computer.

We are excited about the future here at Full Tilt Poker and in the coming weeks and months, we plan to roll out many new features designed to enhance your online poker experience.

We appreciate your loyalty to our site and, in turn, want you to know that we will remain loyal to our valued players in the United States and throughout the world.

We look forward to seeing you at the table.

Sincerely,

Full Tilt Poker

is it possible to resize the tables at FT? If so, after you are done making fun of me can you tell me how?

[Talking Poker]

This sounds !

And no, you can not resize the tables on Full Tilt. Fire off an email to them suggesting it.

[lightfungus]

Oopsy, thought I might be reposting something...my bad.

[Aequitas58]

I've emailed both UB and FTP about resizing... we'll see if they're receptive.

[Talking Poker]

I've found Full Tilt to be extremely receptive to suggestions.... They are often slow to implement (and that's reasonable - most things are not that easy to turn on over night), but they definitely have the player in mind and you can tell they want to provide the best poker experience to their players.

i second that wholeheartedly. since ive played there these past 10 months and been active on their forums, ive seen them implement a whole lotta player-made suggestions, including some from yours truly.
