Italian players will need to wait for their FTP money

Last month we received long awaited news from PokerStars in reference to the outstanding balance to the players of Full Tilt.
As the good news was spread, it was also confirmed that no deal was done between AAMS, the Italian regulator, and PokerStars to have the Italian players paid.

Players in other countries except US and Italy, will be able upon the new launch date 6th of November to be able to deposit as well as withdraw their funds.

The French regulator ARJEL announced that they have setup a separate trust account with the funds to have them executed for payment.

Further, it has been confirmed that Gus Hansen will be back as one of the main faces for the online poker brand and speculations are also stating that Viktor Blom might be heading the same way.
