A quick update for everyone; I've been reading several different complaints from around the poker community that Full Tilt's cash pick-up option has just been suspended. Although a few people have said that they were able to withdrawal their money without any problems, it looks like the majority of people who requested cash outs have had their funds returned to their full tilt accounts.

There is also more rumors about all of these troubles being related to Bodog and their issues. I hate to say it, but I sort of saw this coming. You can read more about how this all got started here; Full Tilt Check Withdrawal Problems.

Right now Full Tilt Poker is in the middle of doing something with the Russian version of their affiliate client, so it looks like they will have their hands full.

So what should you do if you have money on there? As I've said before, your money is always safe on Full Tilt. It's much safer on there than it would be with any of the payment processors. There is still a few ways to get your money off of Full Tilt. I think that your best option might be to try out the new Ultra Prepaid Phone Card withdrawal method.

I've yet to see any testimonials from Full Tilt players who have used the service...but also no complaints. I'll be sure to post some more updates here as things get sorted out. For now I suggest that players head elsewhere to play. I've been playing on Pokerstars lately because they don't seem to be experiencing many of these problems.
