6ooner Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 Re: Johnny Chan qualifier That's what's confusing me, surely if there's not enough players they should cancel it. Got money OK but if they continue to play with too few players they're effectively transferring you to a $90 STT which is a completely different thing isn't it?

There's no added value in this and there's nothing to stop you winning your entry fee on other sites- surely that defeats the idea of the promotion?

I downloaded the site last week, thankfully I didn't deposit any money. Last night after reading the other thread I deleted it from my system.

AJ Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Re: Johnny Chan qualifier I'm sure it's not just them though, every poker site doesn't have the cash in hand to cover the balance in peoples accounts, like banks they operate on confidence and the principle that everyone will not want to withdraw at the same time. They use the money in accoutn balances to pay for promotions and advertising, in the hope it generates enough new customers to square it all away at some future point. There should be the same level of regulation for online sites that Las Vegas casinos have, they are legally required by the nevada gaming comission to keep enough cash on site to cover the value of every chip in the building.

6ooner Posted July 21, 2006 Author Share Posted July 21, 2006 Re: Johnny Chan qualifier Tried again last night on the $4 same again,only 18 regged needed 22 it turned into a winner takes all tourney. I still fail to see any added value here. I don't want to have a go at Goalpoker for the hell of it, and I'll wait to see the outcome of the current problems are before assuming too much, but this is crazy and I wont be entering any more JC tourneys.

skellers Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Re: Johnny Chan qualifier I was under the impression that all money in players accounts was ring fenced, in that the site does not touch it for advertising and promtions etc.I mean they are getting their rake from the customers money - would they not use this. I believe that this is the case for Betfair. I am worried about this as I have heard that some smaller US sites have closed after CEO was arrested. However, this was due to the sites having sportsbooks attached which causes legal problems stateside. I would be vary wary of leaving much money in sites and I plan to now have balances with the big UK sites ie laddies, bet 365, will hill etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avongirl Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Re: Johnny Chan qualifier I was about to post something similar to Skellers. I'm sure I read in the T&Cs of the last site I downloaded (probably Pokerstars, and yes, I always read the T&Cs when I reg!) that money deposited is kept in a client account and is therefore ring-fenced. I would certainly expect this of any site. Surely the majority of the money won on sites comes from other players and therefore the total of the deposits (in the client a/c) should be able to cover most of the account balances. Promotions and added value of course are another thing. Surely the circumstances with GP are more likely to be that they couldn't secure a WSOP place or fulfil the hospitality requirements (unless places are unlimited?):unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
