This week’s question is as follows:
Question: I have never deposited before… but i got a fair bit in there… and im kind scared with everything going on… can i move my money to a Ukash place? also… how long can i keep my money there?
Can i keep my money on a payment processor thing like Ukash for an indefinite period?
Answer: To successfully withdraw funds from your Full Tilt Poker account using your ePassporte account, you must first make a deposit using that account. Once you have deposited with ePassporte it will appear as a withdrawal option in your cashier window.

They’re currently having cash flow issues. You can request a withdrawal, but you might not get it for a few weeks.

Yeah it is best to steer clear from Full Tilt for right now as they are having issues.
I would suggest visiting ClubWPT. They charge $19.95 a month and you can participate in over $100,000 worth of guaranteed prize pool tournaments each month. It is actually legal since they operate under the sweepstakes laws and even US players from most states are legally able to play there. Plus you will not have to worry about whether or not you’ll get your winnings because the World Poker Tour is behind the site and they are a world renowned brand.
As to whether you should keep your money in any payment processor, the answer is definitely NOT. Things are happening quickly and if you value your money, you should take it out as soon as you are able. There is no telling when it could be seized and you’ll never see it again most likely.

If you have a fair bit in there there’s no harm in putting in a small amount like $10 just to get it out. The risk is well worth the reward. I don’t think you need to worry too much though, full tilt keeps player’s funds separate to operational funds so even if they went bankrupt you should still get what you’re owed. The delays are due to trying to move so much money at once.
