The Full Tilt Poker Claims Administration, as authorized by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, is accepting Full Tilt Poker remission requests until November 16, 2013.
This administration is the result of the settlement agreement and resulting forfeitures resolving the allegations in the amended civil forfeiture complaint in United States v. PokerStars, et al., 11 Civ. 2564 (LBS), pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Garden City Group, Inc. ("GCG") was retained by the United States to serve as the Claims Administrator of the forfeited funds.
All told, GCG has sent over 1.4 million email notifications to FTP players, and in response GCG has already received over 27,000 submitted Petitions through the online filing system.
The email notification process is now complete. If you did not receive an email and you believe you are in Full Tilt's database and should have been identified as a potentially eligible player, please contact the Claims Administrator here to provide your updated email address and they will provide you with your Petition and Control numbers if you have been assigned them. There is a limited time in which to do so, however.
