I just want to give everybody a quick status update.

On Game is going to continue to block all FCP players from playing for real money. We thought that we could get our Non-US players back playing at On Game but that isn't going to be the case.

The techs are working non stop now to get FCP up and running on the new network. We anticipate that this will happen at some point over the weekend or on Monday.

You can still view your balances at the My Account page on the website or the FCP Cashier.

If there is a time that you can't log into these areas it is most likely connected to the technical transitions that are going on.

I want to thank everybody for their patience and understanding during this time of change for FCP.

Can we have extra time to clear our existing deposit bonuses to make up for the downtime?? Otherwise it's going to be impossible for a lot of people.

Thanks

Thanks for the update mate. Makes things as clear as the caribbean waters.

I'm hoping that something will be kicked back to non-US players. Since it's is in no way illegal for me to play and I'm currently blocked, I'm rather frustrated.

[FCP Bob]

At the moment players can't access the My Account area or the FCP Store but you can access the cashier and the casino.

This is related to the technical work that is being done on our systems to transition to the new network.

Within the cashier you won't see the balance that is in your poker account. If you wish to see that you can contact our support team and they should be able to transfer the money from your poker account to your cashier account for you.

Our latest estimate is that we will be up at the new network at some point Sunday or Monday.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Wish I would have thought of that.

I had to make at least 1 post before original FCP is gone!




Okay, 'Flamed' is bad and 'Bumped' is good? Right?

My poker account is in $USD and the cashier is in $CND. It seems like I'm going to be hit with the exchange rate twice: once when my poker account goes to the cashier and once when I want to play poker again after the site comes back up.

Is this what is going to happen? Or did my cash go into a USD cashier account (does it exist?), thus avoiding the double whammy of exchange rates?

You have both a $CDN and a $US cashier account.

We don't charge any fees when you move money between currencies as the rate is the same going back and forth. The rate does fluctuate so if you make transfers at different times it will be different.

But is it +EV to move money back and forth speculatively?

Now it wont even take my password. I can't even play the free money now.
Me thinks that anyone who has waited thru this change should have the opportunity to become a VIP proviso they didnt take any money out of their account.

Yours Truely

Wishful thinking.

This is starting to drag...Maybe the 20% wasnt enough to keep me here....Since you were wrong by a week on the new start time, and you will no doubt tell us again it has been delayed, i am hoping a new deal can be made for us players.
Dont get me wrong, this is my favorite poker site. Other sites are however up and running at this moment. maybe a little more incentive, or a sneak peak at what is to come.

All I want for Christmas is rakeback at the new FCP site.

[FCP Bob]

Hi everybody, the current best estimate is that we should be up and running on the new network on Tuesday.

It took longer then expected to sweep the money from the poker to cashier accounts.

On Monday the casino, cashier and other FCP systems may be down for most of the day while the techs integrate the new network systems and FCP's.
