Full Tilt Suspend Account

dvdfan

Hi, I recieve funds via full tilt from someone on a bi weekly basis for some work i do, was the handiest thing to use since he dosent have moneybookers and i dont have netteller or paypal, however they suspended my account and gave the following response:

This message is to inform you that your account has been temporarily suspended pending an explanation of your activity and intentions on Full Tilt Poker.

At this time, we ask that you provide an explanation as to why you are withdrawing funds on behalf of player ID xxxxxxxx.

Your account will remain suspended until a satisfactory response is received.

I was never really sure but since lots of companies use sites to do transfers to pay for products i thought it was ok, is it or was i breaking the rules? Dont care if they suspend my account as i dont really use it but just wondering if i told the truth will i get the other party into trouble?

Just tell the truth. Likely outcome - you'll be asked for ID if you haven't provided any before, and your friend may need to find some other way to pay you. Then your account will get reopened.

I scanned through the terms and cant see anything that mentions transfers, just wondering if transfers are forbidden for the likes of these things or if its just anti laundering laws that force them to do this. Last thing i want is the money being confiscated due to breach of rules.

It just looks like you're laundering money.

So you're getting paid, for some work (or services ) via FT
i know you're not laundering the cash, but taxman wouldn't be happy

I get all my RB paid to my FT account (my RB from different sites) and I've never had any problem like this. But they probably know my Affiliate is an Affiliate so don't mind.

Tricky one, probably best to tell the truth but Mellor does have a point. Obviously thought it does look like you're cashing out for your friend. That would be against money laundering laws, e.g. In IR gambling is Tax free and in US it's not, etc. etc. etc.

Tell them the truth and explain that you are not withdrawing on behalf of the other person, that they are legitimate money transfers to you for yourself. However if you are not playing with the money and only ever withdrawing it then they will very likely tell you to stop.

You won't get the other party into trouble as they haven't done anything wrong.

Yeah just explained and afaik theyre just returning the money and ill have to get a neteller account

FT are well within reason - they're not a bank.

That explains why they didnt pay me interest so!
