So...the new network is coming Nov. 14th but we don't have to wait until then to find out which skin do we???!

They seem to be being pretty tight lipped about it. I'm just looking forward to a change of scenary and hoping that the new network has a good amount of traffic.

We'll have more information out to our players as soon as we can and for sure before the 14th.

If you had informed players earlier it might have prevented some of the flury of cashouts your experiencing. Uncertainty= exodus

I dont think there was going to be anyway to avoid that. FCP support has always been top-notch and I sure hope all is going well with the transition.

Looking forward to a new and improved FCP.

***FIRST POST***

Hello everyone. I have not yet deposited any money into FCP but I am already waiting fo rthe new software/network. I can't wait. I am an affiliate and I am checking daily for any information I can give to my customers that are looking for US friendly sites.

Nice to meet you all and see you soon at the tables!

One thing I loved abour FCP was the amount of tournaments. I hope the new pad will have quite a few.

welcome to FCP

I'm psyched about this. I had taken my money off FCP because I got fed up with OnGame, and I needed to finance a vacation, haha.

This news about the new network was literally music to my ears. I loved FCP, but just didn't like the network problems I would have with every session. I'm really excited about this, and will definately be re-depositing on the new software when it comes out.

Lets get an announcement!!!

I'm seriously still under the belief it is either UB, or LVFH (TigerGaming). I'm hoping for the former, obviously (just to see Prty have another flipout over Royal HE.)

The 14th is in two business days. We aren't going to find out the day before are we? Just make a thread and say that charter members are the only ones allowed to read it. Put it in general.

Well, a new home for FCP can only be an improvement, and since there is no choice in the matter, we might as well be positive about it.

The sites that are pure poker are going to take a stand, probably arguing (correctly) that poker is not a game of chance. For FCP to join up with a pure poker site (as opposed to a casino/gambling site) would be a positive step IMHO.

I hope that the new home for FCP is *not* another online casino.

It would be a pioneering step for Daniel to talk one of the casinos in Las Vegas to set up a "FullContactPoker Room" with computers all on FCP, as an experiment. The casino would (of course) keep part of the rake. It would not have to be very big, could also be temporary, but would be good publicity for the casino that tries it.

Personally, I think an offshore FCP company with directors that are not U.S. residents but FCP fans is the best solution because in time, I am sure that FCP could itself grow to be a big poker playing site just by promoting play in a positive way, much like partypoker did, and compete.

I volunteer as a director and I am sure there are other FCP players that are into business in a serious way would step up.

It would not be hard to do and allow Daniel to *own* the site without running amuck of the poker prohibition laws that are on their way in the U.S.

I am not saying it would be easy to set up, but it is definately possible in Antigua, Gibraltar, or Costa Rica.

If bodog were to relax its rules barring Canadian players it would be a match made in heaven.

Make no mistake: FCP (and its horde of poker-playing squirrels) is a crown jewel for any online site.

The 14th is not too far away. If by before the 14th you mean the 13th, that's pretty cheesy. Why all the secrecy? You know where you going, why not tell everyone so you can give them a chance to not deposit elsewhere?

Hey FCP_Info,

I know you guys are being pretty hush hush about it, but I'm going to ask a few questions on the off chance that you can speak on them.

1) Will the SNGs be 9 or 10 handed? For SNGs, 9 handed sucks, because it doesn't make it as profitable per game.

2) F1,F2,F3 keys? I'm soooo used to using these things that playing without them has been a major pain in the ***.

3) Customizable graphics?

4) Player classifications? Not just notes, but that actual color-coding? That's another thing that I have become very used to using and helps out tremendously.

5) Flop/Turn percentages?????? OnGame was the only network that had them and that was an awesome feature.

6) How many other closed down sites have joined forces with you?

Anything you can tell us is greatly appreciated.

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it

I have been plaing on prima. I like their sng format. I liked ongame's multis though. I really hope there is enough traffic to drive multi table tourneys like they had on ongame.

Part of the FCP mystery revealed....

Looks like Dimeline Sportsbook will be part of whatever new Poker Network is coming....

Dimeline Sportsbook would like to welcome all USA Players to use our Sportsbook-Casino and Poker Room.


Within the next week we will be getting a brand new Poker Network, which will allow all USA players to play hassle free. Currently USA players can use our Casino and Sportsbook with no problems but are unable to use our Poker room due to Ongame Poker regulations.


Also within the next week we will have five new financial processors, which are located outside of the USA so deposits and cash outs will also be hassle free. Dimeline is able to provide this to our USA customers because we are privately owned and all transactions as well as the Poker Network are located offshore.

hmmm........

if it is i hope we can use the sportsbook through FCP so i dont need to have seperater accounts, i would move all my bodog sports betting money to fcp

If operations in any way move down to Costa Rica and if FCP needs a dynamic business savy executive, I will glady offer my services and relocate to Costa Rica. I have been there and I love it. So I am just putting this out there because you never know what may happen.

Oooh, can I be your personal assistant? I'm sure you can negotiate it in your contract with FCP. I make good coffee.

I love coffee.

How do you feel about spaghetti?

too bad that was illegal long before this new law. I think one of the big casinos....foxwoods maybe? tried to set up an online gambling network just for people staying in their casino/hotel and the gov't made them shut it down.

Sure looks like Dimeline are in, and according to their e-mail they're running some ok bonuses too:

100% sign up bonus to all players up to $2000.00
20% reload bonuses to all players up to $600.00 (Once Per Month)

Hope you are right, that would be awesome Whole heap of bonuses going on should mean a good amount of traffic. Hopefully the clearance rates are good.

You're going to need a pool boy also. (you will have a pool,right??)

When you say "for sure" before the 14th it makes it sound like it would be at least a few days before hand and not 11:59 pm on the 13th...Getting my hopes up is not cool...

I am usually satisfied with FCP, but this is horrible, it has been almost week since the relationship with OnGame, and the new one launches in less than 31 hours...there is no reason why we shouldnt know the network. I am dissatisfied with the lack of information flow from FCP which is usually the best.

Hey Bob,

Tomorrow is before the 14th. Please have your info ready to be dispensed.
Thank you.





Agreed. There is no reason you keep something like that secret. It's like movie studios not showing movies before they open because htey know it's a bomb. Is the new network really that bad?? C'mon stop the rumors now!!

^^^^^^
There is a very good reason for keeping this secret. They are scrambling to get this implementation up and running on time and they're not sure whether they will make it or not. They don't want to make a promise they can't keep. This is going to be down to the wire. Deal with it.

I agree it is going down to the wire but better to be honest than to keep everyone hanging. It is much better to say that their running behind. I don't think it will be up by the 14th. I think if we are lucky it maybe by the end of the week.


I JUST WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!

hey n00b dont flame until you have been around longer, @$$

Now it is the day before, where the hell is our frikin update?

Patience is a virtue

I'm sure Bob and all of FCP are doing everything they can

Ok I'm here, I woke up early on my day off...So where is it?

Was playing rings on FCP earlier. Now I can't use my funds to sit in a ring game and all the tourneys are off limits. (Funds are still in cashier, so no panic!)
It has begun.

Real estate is cheap in Costa Rica. Let's all move there and start a Poker community.

FCP_Info,

Dude, I'm sure most of us don't mind if it's going to take a day or four longer than originally stated. But at least come in and tell us that. The waiting is killing us.

It cant be worse than Ongame, I'm sure we'll be pleased with it whenever they decide to tell us

Well on the east coast that leaves about 10 1/2 hours. So times running out. Tell us, please.......

You'll know for sure before the 14th, no worries...for sure...for sure...

why are u guys so excited about this? Its not like there arent any other places to play at...the new FCP software wont be as good as stars or FTP anyways.

looks like Bob has gone into hiding too......!

we have money in FCP and want to know where we will be playing with it

FMP

Wow, this thread rages me

I want to apologize for the delay in responding.

The last 24 hours have been very busy with the situation being very fluid and I'm sorry that we weren't able to communicate sooner.

Thanks bob! you are the best!
