I hope there will be.
All I am saying is what someone very close to the deal told me. The official announcement should come by the 31st. I am not guaranteeing anything. Just telling u what I am told.
From what everyone else is reporting that seems pretty likely unless everyone has bad information

I heard from my cousin's sister's brother in law's gramma that the deal is going down. For sure.
Jesus, I hope all you guys get paid, but this is starting to get pathetic. A friend of a friend of a friend who used to date someone who once cleaned toilets at pokerstars tells me it's a done deal. Everybody should just STFU until an announcement is made.
When I saw the title and seriously checked to see if it was a new thread or a bumped old one.
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT COMING SOON
you mean i can get my $4.23 off FTP now... holy shit (still not holding breath)
oh wait that's right, we still can't play on them since it's banned...
Here is how this shaking out: There are apparently two separate sources/camps doling out information on this matter, and they have rarely been in agreement on what is going on (which leads me to believe that one source is in the FTP camp and the other in PokerStars). However, Friday's rumors were corroborated by BOTH sides, although with a slightly different take. So there was a major breakthrough in the negotitations at the end of the week, but whether this means a hurdle was cleared or the deal is done is up for discussion.

One thing people keep reporting is November for FTP re-launch. My guy told me it "could" be as quick as less than a week. I don't see what would take till November. They have already hired staff, retained some staff and have paid them through August. Will be interesting to see how that part of this unfolds.
Will be also very interesting to see how the payouts shakeout. Would be nice to be able to log right in and snap withdraw but I don't think that will happen
The government was giving them 90 days to sort out the payments in full, and it's highly doubtful they are allowed to go back online until all players are paid (the ones that want their money withdrawn anyway). so 90 days from now is roughly November 1. So basically it will be up and running within 90 days of the deal being announced

So , when is the money coming?
