This Saturday, November 16, is the final day that the GCG will be allowing players to submit a petition for remission.
While November 16 is the deadline for players, the more recent announcement that FTP affiliates are also eligible to recover a portion of their balances, indicates that affiliates are not held to this deadline.
According to the October update from the GCG, affiliate data still needs to be reviewed and once they have emailed all eligible affiliates, a 30 day window for remission will begin.
With over 1.4 million email notifications sent and, according to an update from the Poker Players Alliance, over 35,000 submitted petitions submitted, the stage of making claims for player balances is nearly complete.
Whether or not they have been contacted by the Claims Administrator, players who have, or think they have an outstanding Full Tilt Poker balance as of April 15, 2011 still have time to Create a new petition for remission via the GCG website. It is expected that the first echecks of reimbursement may hit accounts as early as Q1 2014.
