Hi Nick, Well this will be my final email as I feel that i have no other option but will give you one last chance to finally give me a date when I am likely to receive the funds, as it has now been over 4 weeks when we should have received the funds that we agreed to and i feel that you have had more than enough time but you just keep stalling or misadvisng me. originally we gave a deadline of last Friday, however after speaking to you it all sounded like we would receive the money this week, however your comments this week are different, and I actually find your last comment completely out of order. Once i have received your reply if unsatisfactory I will be sending a complete history of the disgraceful situation, including all your comments to my solicitor and to absolute Poker This is not intended to be a threat in any way, but you have left us with no option, it is about the principal now. DRAFT TO ABSOLUTE POKER Dear Gian As you know what happened about about the WSOP and with regard to Goalpoker, i would like to update you on what has happened since. As you can see form the attahced email, yet again goalpoker have not delivered on what was agreed and promised. Since Goalpoker joined into the Absolute Poker network, I did not have any fears about depositing or playing. Absolute is very proud of what they've accomplished as a stand alone room, and I could not see them taking on another operator into their gaming systems unless they were highly qualified. However, since this whole situation statred in June, i feel very anoyed that such a reputable company like yourselves could let goalpoker still use your platform. I would like to thank you for what you did for me and Andy in the WSOP, and will never say a bad word about yourselves, however, we are likely to be going to court over this and i will be sending copies of all documentation to every forum possible and arranging interviews with several leading poker magazines both in the UK and America if possible. I am sorry that you name might be tarnished in this, however, it will not be our intention at all.

Hi As i said Nick I me and Andy will wait until Friday and hopefully it will be good news, I do not now what the funding issue is but I beleive we have been patient enough. However, we also find it strange that with all this going on you still went to the Johnny Chan Invitational.

Hi Joe, You are quite correct in the fact you have not been paid this week. I am not avoiding the issue, we are satill awaiting the next funding round, which is due imminently. As such, we are 'trading' at walking pace to ensure that we are able to deal with issues as they arise. As we entered into the compensation package with you guys late in this, I ask you to be patient. I will keep you up to date, but recently there has been no update other than 'be patienbt'. Not ideal but I am sure you appreciate that the strain this is putting us all under is horrendous and has my total focus. I was in meeting s all day yesterday and today too. If you wish we can chat later this evening? Text me a time as I most likely will be out of the office. Regards Nick 0044 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 19 September 2006 15:21 To: Nick Fitt Subject: Re: WSOP Without Prejudice. Hi Well you said that this week we would have our money as you would be getting your funding last week, however, Mark has advised us that this did not happen again. Well I am afraid I have lost all trust and confidence in what you tell us now. "I would like this final opportunity to apologise personally to you both for what has happened, be assured it will never be repeated". Therefore, if we have not received the money by Friday of this week, which was agreed I will have no option but to talk to a solicitor and see what options are available to me as i feel that you have breached your contract with me and Andy. "By accepting this offer, you are agreeing that you have received full value and just compensation". We accepted but never received within the 10 days timeframe. I will also be seeing about what I can do to stop you trading as it is clear that if somebody won substantial funds you would not be able to pay them. "We are talking about $20,000 dollars, which as a gaming website surely you should have in reserve in case somebody won big and withdrew winnings? Surely you could deposit the funds in to our GP accounts if that is easier. It does concern me that you have no money yet you are still trading". "Regards still trading, technically, you may well be right and if so, then in that respect we should not have made any offer or agreement with you. We have though and did so in good faith". I will be sending copies of this email to my solicitor Friday morning who will then probably deal direct with you. Also I feel that i have no option to copy on the CEO of Absoulte Poker and depending what my solicitor says, I will be contactong the Gaming Authorities and teh press.

We both know that this has been ongoing for ages now, but even the payment we should have received on the 30th has not happened. What exactly is it you are waiting for in regard of finance and when do you expect to receive it. This is just a nightmare as we signed the agreements yet are still in limbo. I know it is not your fault personally, but I am starting to feel that it will not happen at all and I need to know now rather than later when exactly we are going to receive the money so I can look again at my finances, because I am already £750 out of pocket, however, I agreed to your settlement and expected it by now so that i could cover the money which i spent getting and staying in Vegas.

Hi Nick, It is now the 27th and you stated that: Within ten working days of receipt of your confirmed acceptance of this offer, I will mail out to you both a cheque for $5k (£ equivalent) to make up the difference for the WSOP. I replied the same say the email was sent which was the 16th! Also you went on to state that: As compensation, I will deposit a further $5k into your players accounts with Goalpoker as clear funds, i.e. you could withdraw the full amount. Again having checked my account this has not happened. I feel that this is again being strung out and would like a response seeing as this is the second email i have sent. Initialy i sent my bank details so that my expenses could be credited directly to my account. if the cheque has not been send could you please do this to speed up the process. I would also like my gp account credited with the funds and not sent to me I await your response Joe -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected]; [email protected] CC: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Wed, 16 Aug 2006 8.18AM Subject: WSOP Without Prejudice. Morning Andy, Joe Apologies for not getting in touch sooner Andy. I have swapped emails with Joe and I thought through tone of the the conversations, he was liaising with you too. Obviously not. Apologies for that misunderstanding. To get you up to speed, I had agreed with Joe that your flights and accommodation would be refunded by us once we had receipts etc. Obviously I have not received yours Andy as it seems you were not aware of this! So, to close this situation and encapsulate the whole lot (exes, flights, accom.), I offer you both; Within ten working days of receipt of your confirmed acceptance of this offer, I will mail out to you both a cheque for $5k (£ equivalent) to make up the difference for the WSOP. As compensation, I will deposit a further $5k into your players accounts with Goalpoker as clear funds, i.e. you could withdraw the full amount. Alternately, I will add the £ equivalent to the WSOP shortfall payment which would then be paid as one by sterling cheque. Please confirm your choice. If you are content that this offer has closed the matter, please let me know by mail, by return, no other offer will be made though you will receive the shortfall payment irrespective. I also require you to confirm if you made agreement or not with any member of staff, owner, shareholder or other officer of Punters Lounge to act on your behalf jointly or separately in negotiating in any way with my company etc. I require this in writing separately from you both as a condition of your acceptance of this offer. By accepting this offer, you are agreeing that you have received full value and just compensation. It is for you to decide whether that acceptance is made public. Whilst you guys are quite within your rights to discuss your experiences on forums such as Punters Lounge, I have a responsibility to protect my staff and that extends to defending my staff and company from personal threats, blackmail attempts and slander. If this email or the offer is in full or part posted on Punters Lounge, or any other forum, I will assume you have rejected the offer and that any claim to compensation in any capacity has been declined by you both. This is between us gents. It appears that no-one has benefited from the experience of the last month. I am truly sorry that events panned out the way they did for you guys. We have always tried to bring fun and enjoyment into everything we have done. A mistake was made - in good faith actually - and I accept full responsibility for that mistake. I personally have learnt from this and I will make every effort to ensure that lessons learned are put into practice. We as a company will continue to go forward and I hope that all of us can put this behind us now. You will see an awful lot of us in the coming months and I hope that you will come back to us and enjoy our future as players. I would like this final opportunity to apologise personally to you both for what has happened, be assured it will never be repeated. Best regards Nick p.s.

eltrev Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Re: Goalpoker - Can't/Won't pay its Winners Unbelievable. Now I'm no legal expert, but I don't see how you lose your right to compensation by posting these e-mails given that they initially broke the agreement by not paying you both within the timeframe agreed to. The agreement was surely null and void as soon as the 10 days had expired without funds being credited or a cheque sent. I really hope you continue to pursue this and it ends up with a satisfactory outcome for you both. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
