Claims administration firm, Garden City Group (GCG), has completed the remission process for payments to Full Tilt Poker players.

It was reported yesterday (October 1, 2013) that some 1.4 million emails have been received from those still owed money from Full Tilt Poker. 23,500 petitions were also processed.

Full Tilt Poker abruptly exited the US market on April 15, 2011 following a series of indictments. Last year, the US Government settled with the company and began the process of determining payout distributions.

Affected customers can still submit their email accounts to the Garden City Group. Postcards have been sent to former players whose email accounts no longer function.
