FTP Withdraw Issues

Anyone having issues withdrawing from FTP? I tried to cash out a bunch of money via the bank transfer. They said there was an issue with the 3rd party and they would be returning the cash out as well as $25 for any inconvenience within 24 hours. I was just wondering if anyone had any similar issues.

I've had issues with both Stars and Full Tilt recently.

Stars couldn't process an echeck I requested and FT told me a check they sent me is not going to be honored. Both put them back into my accounts plus small bonuses (free $100 and free $25 - I'll take it), and I re-withdrew using a Wire Transfer for Stars and an echeck for FT.

They run into these hiccups with their payment processors a lot, but always seem to find a way around them...

Something is fishy here. I think the poker sites just want you to keep playing so they get more rake. I wonder how many other people have this problem. And it seems to happen pretty often. JMHO

Its more likely that since it occurs every 3 or so months, that they find new payment processors, things go smooth for a while, and then the heat comes. Which causes cashout problems. They put the money back and find a new payment processor.

This just happened to me again. I e-mailed them after I had my money returned after the first withdraw to make sure this was a one time thing and wouldn't be an issue before I made the same cash out, they said everything was in order and assured me it would be okay. Today I received another e-mail saying the exact same thing but awarding me $50 instead of $25 for my patience. I don't want an apology I just want my god damned money.

Happened to me a second time as well, I was told it would be in there for sure on the 10th. I just hope so with all the stuff I have been reading about payment processors.

I received my money and was told the same thing about getting it before Dec. 10th. They wired it to me and sent me 50$ for the wire. Trouble is this is the 2nd time this happened and after the wire fee i was left with less money than they gave me the first time as far as compensation.
