no mac or java support = bye bye for me & FCP. sad.

[DanielNegreanu 141]

Great suggestions Cfinnn. The other thread is the correct thread for that. I agree with most everything you said. Considering the amount of time OnGame gave FCP to find a new location, I have to say that, overall, I'm extremely pleased with the new network. I'm also very excited about improving FCP over the next few weeks with software upgrades, etc. All of your input is greatly appreciated, both positive and negative.

IwantRazz.That is all.

Seconded. And HORSE if it's not there. (I haven't looked)

So is it true there will be no support for Mac's in this version, either java or a Mac program that can play the new FCP version?

I would like to see:A cashier option like full tilt or poker stars.I hate having to login just to see what I've got.I believe they have their stores linked to the cashier as well that would be nice.And to be able to create our own avatars.I liked that about ps.Maybe more to come.

[CodyHartman 0]

If I can make a suggestion of types of games available I would like to see HORSE, triple draw and Badugi and to get rid of this 3 card poker that noone has heard of til now.I know its early on and that other kinks need to get worked out first, but having these games would give new players from these other sites that are moving in, better choices and hopefully games that will keep them here.Can anyone tell us what other networks will be moving in shortly?

[FCP Bob 1,312]

i was thinkignof movign over money from tilt to fcp to try out the new network, but i honestly dont like how it still looks like ongame. when the bugs are out, i will try it though. am i able to make a new account on this new network bob? or do i have to use my old one from FCP which i do not remember what it is/what email i used

You should try and use your current FCP account. If you don't remember the details contact our support team and they can assist you with it.

Wasn't there a bonus for leaving your cash in during the transition? Do I need to do anything else to get it. I e-mailed the bonus thing. Thanks.

Yes, if you e-mailed bonus@fullcontactpoker.com you will get 20% to a maximum of $200 in bonus money on the amount that you had in your cashier account starting yesterday.It will take us a few days to get through all the e-mails but you should get a reply e-mail when it has been done for you.If you haven't e-mailed yet you still can if you left money through the transisiton.

Will the bonuses clear in increments? One of the cool things about the last version of FCP was the option to decide how much of a bonus to clear at any given time.

The bonus will clear in a small amounts daily. You don't have to wait for large chunks to clear.

Whats up with only beingable to buy in for 50bb's? Def. gotta fix that.

Yes, that is something that should change.There was some confusion when they were setting up the tables.

So is it true there will be no support for Mac's in this version, either java or a Mac program that can play the new FCP version?

At the moment there is only a Windows download version of the software.The developers will try and get a Mac version available but that is going to take some time most likely.I'm not sure if what is discussed in the thread that I'm providing the link to will be of any help but it might for Mac users.http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...showtopic=80954

In general how does this site rate compared with the Pokerstars, Ultimate Bet, Full Tilt, and BODOG's of the world. I am one of those skeptical ones who only plays live poker, but I will be out of action a month on the mend and might try it.Please be honest and not an FCP homer. My only online play was with the Pokerschool on pokerpages.Also, I am a stud and a mixed game player. Thanks....

honestly, in the state it is currently in... I miss the ongame software. It'll get better though.

Fine....only because you are already committed to Tonya!Jamie (Checky)....Take me back please!!! Oh..and on topic here...I have yet to download new FCP software, so I have no comment at this time.

It is. I've been pimping the stuff out in the thread to Mac users that have been worried about being shut out. Now that it's been officially proven to work, I definitely think Mac users should be looking into it.

FCP is a partner site of FutureBet Gaming Systems. All of the FutureBet sites have moved to the new "Digital Gaming Network" in the past two days. This 'new' network is actually a new software interface running on the Doborosft Poker Network, sharing the same player base, etc. The FutureBet sites include:247PokerAmcoSportsBookAverageJoePokerBayouPokerBestBluffBettingChampsDimeLineSportsbookDowntownPokerFullContactPokerGoldenSpiritPokerHouseofHustleIdolPokerInsuredBetJackDaddysPokerLionsLoungeLuckyBuckMonkeyBetMyanCasinoNewYorkPokerP1PokerParis-Jeux.netPokerEonPokerPlaydiumPokerPokaPokesPokerPracticalPokerPurePokerReno.NetRevolutionaryPokerRivalryPokerSafariCasinoSportsbookandPokerSportsbookUSAStayHomeCasinoThePokerClubTopBetTouchstone PokerWageramaWestCoastWagersThe Dobrosoft Poker Network sites include:2Bet711PokerAdultPokerPartyBigDawgPokerBogartsPokerChoicePokerDoubleNutPokerHolidayPokerLandmarkPokerMardiGrasPokerMiamiPokerMVPPokerOurPokerSitePokerElitePokerPiazzaPokerPyramidPokerBangPokerGracePokerKingPokerSoleiPokerWorldQPokerRaiseandFoldPokerRedFishPokerRoyalCityPokerSinfulPokerThePokerDragonTournamentNetworkTunicaPokerWingowsXPPokerI wouldn't be surprised if more sites join this network. Specifically, the Doyle Brunson Poker Network has to find a new home soon: DBPN is actually part of Tribeca Tables Poker Network, which has been sold to iPoker, which will be banning all U.S. players early next year. So Doyle may end up moving his network of sites here as well as the choices are rather slim and this network is now packing the most punch (i.e. players on the network) of all the multi-skin networks still accepting all U.S. players.

"PokerWorld"Dammit, that's where I'm colliding with myself. I have RayPowers on PokerWorld.I wonder if I can request a name change there, then get my FCP name changed back to RayPowers....Ray

[qyayqi 11]

as long as you are tweaking the software & adding features....i'd like to see an option for 3rd party buy-ins to tournaments. basically, let player 1 pay for player 2 to play, and the software handles the 50-50 split of any win.

I know its just the beginning, but I have to ask this: What is the anticipated average amount of players at night (PT time). Right now as I type I see 4 possible tournies, and 351 people sitting in Cash games. Trust me I understand that everything is being done to continue us US players the ability to play, but with the broad range of bankrolls that the original FCP Members have, 351 people on late nite is not a good thing.Also I support CFINNS suggestions on the changes that need to be made. Please let us know on what future plans and projected numbers are as soon as possible, this will help us all sleep better at nite.Long Live FCP!Chaos

As I replied to your post in the FCP Poker Room forum the sites that will provide the bulk of the player base for the Digital Gaming Network aren't integrated as of yet but should be over the next weeks.We aren't in a position to make announcements for either those sites or DGN.

Thanks bob. I can't wait till everything is running full speed.

Here is the full list I promised. These are all of the FutureBet licensed sites which are migrating to the new Digitial Gaming Network:247Poker24livePokerAllbetsPokerAmcoPokerAngelsPokerAveragejoePokerBayouPokerBeachhousePokerBestbluffBetembigBettingchampsBullfroggamingCarnavalPokerCasinodinoCasinodoggCentralcasinoCongocasinoCrowngoldPokerDimelinesportsDownhomePokerDowntownPokerDukespalaceEgPokerEmpirecasinoEPokerroomFbaPokerFullcontactPokerGoldenspiritPokerHawaiiPokeronlineHouseofhustleIdolPokerInsuredbetJackdaddysPokerLadybuckLionsloungeLordofcasinosLuckybetsLuckyriverPokerMakoPokerMayagamingMayancasinoMegaPokerloungeMiamiluck.NetMonkeybetNeostarPokerNewyorkPokerNutsforPokerOpentablePokerOxbetP1PokerParis-Jeux.NetPicksPokerPlayawinsPlayersedgePokerPlayersmanorPlayitnowcasinoPodiumPokerPokerchaosPokereonPokerhajaPokeronclubPokeronfirePokerplaydiumPokerpokaPokersoulsPokesPokerPracticalPokerPurePokerPurePokerroomRazrbetRcsPokerReno.BizReno.NetRevolutionaryPokerRivalbetRivalryPokerSafaricasinoShamrockcasinoSplashPokerSportsbookandPokerSportsbookusaStayhomecasinoSuper7casinoTexasholdemroomThePokerclubTidalwavePokerTopbetTouchstonePokerTradexgamingUltimatecasinoUplinePokerWageramaWallstreetPokerWantmyPokerWestcoastwagersWildwestPokerWorldPokerspotXtremebluffI am pretty sure that all of these sites are now playing on the network (most of their web sites display number of players online, and they all match). Once again, the player base is shared with all of the existing Dobrosoft network:2Bet711PokerAdultPokerPartyBigDawgPokerBogartsPokerChoicePokerDoubleNutPokerHolidayPokerLandmarkPokerMardiGrasPokerMiamiPokerMVPPokerOurPokerSitePokerElitePokerPiazzaPokerPyramidPokerBangPokerGracePokerKingPokerSoleiPokerWorldQPokerRaiseandFoldPokerRedFishPokerRoyalCityPokerSinfulPokerThePokerDragonTournamentNetworkTunicaPokerWingowsXPPokerOverall network traffic is pretty sparse at the moment, but it should pick up as players settle in to the transition. How quickly and how much is still unpredictable. Dobrosoft has always been a rather low traffic network. But with all the added sites, it may turn out to be a contender. Plus, as I've mentioned before, I wouldn't be surprised if Doyle moves his network sites here from Tribeca. And maybe some other sites might find refuge here when Tribeca kicks out U.S. players early next year.

WHO?!? I say, I say, WHO are those fellas? 3 Card Poker?! LOLNeed more action cause the games are pretty short. But it seems OK. TV-style replay for hands is kind of neat (have yet to actually try it). Chop & Straddle are nice options to have. I'm just happy to be back at FCP in all honesty Thx for sticking to your guns for us Amerikaners Bob.

I really enjoy the echo in the tournament lobby.

Am I the only one who has heard a lot of bad things about FutureBet?

Am I the only one who has heard a lot of bad things about FutureBet?

Nope, you aren't the only one. FutureBet has had some bad rep. They offer relatively inexpensive turnkey poker rooms. Thereby, there have been several instances where the poker room licensees were bad hats and didn't pay off their players, then disappeared. As FutureBet was the payment processor, the players looked for relief from FutureBet who wasn't actually liable. In addition, there were claims by some such poker room licensees that FutureBet didn't pay their affiliates or release funds due to the poker room, causing the poker room to be unable to pay their players or affiliates. But those instances could just be pointing finger by the bad hats - tough to say. Since FCP is a licensee of FutureBet and doesn't have any such troubles, I tend to give FutureBet the benefit of the doubt. I would advise caution with the other FutureBet licensees.
