Full Tilt Pro's Next In Line For Remissions (update)
By Brian Cullingworth, Last updated Aug 8, 2014
Excludes Team Full Tilt Players, Affiliate revenue or FTP compensation
According to The Garden City Group (GCG), claims administrator of the forfeited funds in the United States v. PokerStars, et al. 11 Civ. 2564 case, players designated by Full Tilt Poker as professionals, excluding Team Full Tilt Players, are next in line to recover a portion of their account balance.
GCG said professional players may submit a petition for remission to recover a portion of their account balance that is not attributable to compensation provided by FTP or Affiliate revenue.
To date, almost $100 million in claims have been returned to Full Tilt US players since the beginning of this year, the last of which was in June 2014 (see previous InfoPowa reports).
Professional players have until September 3, 2014 to submit their petitions.

Infopowa news was a staple of Casinomeister’s news from 2000 until 2019. Brian Cullingworth was the main writer, contributor, and was one of the most knowledgeable persons I have ever known involved in the online casino industry.
We first met in January 2001 at the ICE in London where I observed him going booth to booth interviewing online casino, software, and licensing jurisdiction representatives. Brian was also heavily involved with our forum as “Jetset“, he was involved as an informal consultant to eCOGRA, the OPA, and was a player advocate who assisted countless aggrieved players with his connections to industry folks. He also published “Casino Cautions” via Infopowa news for quite a number of years. These can be found in our news archives.
His passing in February 2019 was a dark day for us. He will be forever missed.
