From FCP poker Support:
Quote: Attention U.S. players:
As you probably know by now, the Ongame Network (provider of FCP's
poker software) was forced to make the difficult decision of
restricting U.S. residents from playing real money games on their
poker network. As a result Full Contact Poker has been working with
Ongame and another network software provider to produce a solution for
all of the FCP players to continue playing at our site with minimal
interruption during a transitional phase over the next few weeks.
Prior to the launch of our new poker software solution, we must ask
our U.S. players to follow some new rules outlined by Ongame.
Depositing Restrictions
On October 25th, U.S. players will not be able to deposit or transfer
any new money into their FCP poker accounts. The FCP cashier will

"It's premature for me to be able to give an specific details but I will say the following.
1. While your bonus money is in your cashier bonus account and not in a poker bonus it isn't with the Network but only in FCP's systems so that should be easy to deal with after any transition.
2. I can't say exactly how we'll deal with any partially cleared poker bonuses that you have other then to say that we'll treat people fairly"
CS here has always come across as genuine. Certainly better than anywhere else in terms of seeming like real individual people.
Obviously we have to wait and see what Ongame's statement due tomorrow is and how that affects things, but I'll happily clear this day by day in small increments and I'll understand if they can't carry uncleared bonuses across to a new network.

BTW FCP moving to Tribeca would imo possibly be great. Tribeca is imo very underrated and with the Tain and FCP players, who are overall probably not very "sharkish" and the amount of reloads FCP hands out that could be a good thing.
But wouldnt it be harder & longer to clear then?
For 3/6 FL, Tribecas clearing rate is $4.91 vs OnGame's $8.91...
Yes, but at $3/6 Tribeca has much lower rake, you're saving around $4-5 per 100 hands in rake at Tribeca $3/6 compared to Ongame.
The problem with Tribeca is a lack of games at $3/6... | | Static Link |

For FR limit thats certainly the case, for SH NL (what i play) it looks different: NL2/4 SH
ongame 9x --> $7.8/h, Tribeca 100 Action Points --> $11.5/h. | | Static Link |

The only problem is that uncleared bonuses will probably be cancelled when they switch networks as I can't see how they could carry them over, so I'll probably just do $50 or $100 at a time and see how far I get. | | Static Link |

Tribeca cant be better than Ongame in terms of bonus clearance can it?
You can make the bonus active $20 at a time and finish as much as you can before the switch.
I dont get it, but I PMed you. | | Static Link |

According to the other thread, Ongame are telling them one thing and doing another.
Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up.
Time to keep your powder dry. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: Grafter at October 14, 2006, 2:45 pm | | Topic: Full Contact 100% Redeposit Bonus up to $500 Forum: Bonus Whores | I've been playing on FCP for the last couple of hours.
Their guys have been answering questions in the lobby as usual.
Don't blame me if any of this turns out to be bull.
They are taking new customers including US today (Sat) and tomorrow (Sun), but don't know if Ongame will block US deposits from Monday onwards.
New players get 100% up to $500, clearing at 9 points per $.
From tomorrow until next Sat, reload bonus of 100% up to $500, again 9x.
These can be stacked.
US players may or may not be able to deposit for the reload from Monday onwards, they don't know. Tomorrow (Sun) is a yes.
They hope to have a new network in place for US players within the 30 days (approx) that they believe Ongame are giving them as a window.
They do not yet know where they stand with regards to Ongame keeping/releasing non US players when they (FCP) move.
They claim willing to pro rata players for unfinished bonuses if/w... | | Read Entire Entry |

Another thread said they were planning on going to another network. A friend of mine on this site told me maybe the same one that Doyles room is on tribeca.
There's been a lot of speculation that they'll move to Tribecca. Even without FCP, Tribecca will already be bigger than OnGame once Tribecca absorbs Tain and OnGame implements the ban on U.S. players. (This is all based on pokersitescout.com's numbers, of course)
Looks like the new top five sites/networks MAY be: PokerStars, Full Tilt, Party, Tribecca, Excapsa
