Full Tilt Poker Payments to be Made Friday: Players Have Waited Nearly 3 Years

After a nearly three year waiting period, US customers are finally about to see millions of dollars paid back from their time playing at Full Tilt Poker.

A claims administrator appointed by the US Government approved refunding of $82 million to some 30,000 players last month.

The US Department of Justice placed the Garden City Group in charge of paying out those customers owed millions of dollars by Full Tilt Poker following a 2011 indictment.  FTP exited the US market and failed to pay American players.  They were eventually shut down several months later. 

PokerStars entered into an agreement to pay back all non-US customers and assumed control of Full Tilt Poker’s remaining assets and brand name.

The $82 million quoted is only a small portion of what is owed.  The Garden City Group’s audit is ongoing.

Incomplete information and inaccurate banking details will result in delayed payments for some affected players.
