Sir Puntalot Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 PokerRoom.com As detailed here, MCFC won a trip to Australia, yet had to put up virtually no response from them and eventually paid money out of his own pocket on what was an "all expenses paid trip". No surprise, that this is a Bwin.com company, their sportsbook is already blacklisted, however we will give them the chance to settle this. More details here. PokerRoom.com 2 Oh dear, here we are again. A guranteed $19k prize money tournament where they decided to take back the prize money after the event. Now just to make sure I'm not going completely bonkers, I've just been on dictionary.com and it tells me guaranteed means "assured" and "certain" - how strange? More details here.

Penny Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Re: The Poker Blacklist - Places not to play!

Oh and sorry to hear you are still supporting Spurs! :moon Slapdash - You Muppet!

dobbin Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Re: The Poker Blacklist - Places not to play! Yet more complaints about pokerroom.com. POKERROOM BONUSES NOT BEING PAID 02/16/2007 Players on multiple forums are complaining about PokerRoom.com not paying bonuses that have been properly cleared, of having had to wait for weeks with inadequate response from PokerRoom support. Others complain about Player Points not showing up or being miscalculated. PokerRoom offered the following response, “We are currently experiencing technical problems with regards to player points not updating correctly on player's accounts . . . When they have credited the bonus to your account and the player points have been updated correctly they will inform you via e mail. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spireitedaz Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Re: The Poker Blacklist - Places not to play! Does PR have a contact at Coral ? I started qualifying for a GT tournament through qualifiers, started off at the $1 level and had got this up to the $30 + $3 level. No mention of the tokens having an expiration date or anything. Have e-mailed Coral and spoke to customer Services on phone and they advised it was down to Ongame. I said I'd be happy if they just credited my account with the $33, but they say got to wait til I can use the token in the lobby. Problem is not one been there for weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_me_daddy! Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Re: The Poker Blacklist - Places not to play! Poker.com ( Carbon Poker) should be avoided. When you request withdrawal they insist on their 'verification procedure" which entails faxing your credit card number, sending a copy of it front and back ( unbelieveable but true ), plus a copy of your driving license, passport etc. It is clearly a ploy to deter attempts to withdraw and leave your money locked in their site.

Martyn@BF Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Re: The Poker Blacklist - Places not to play! Chill baby, just so you have a view from the other side of the fence. This is standard procedure for many if not all rooms and does help to deter fraud. Image your details were stolen, you money used online then the punks withdrew the cash. You would be p*ssed then Fred would be gutted as he has to foot the bill for the losses while your bank covers you. Surely you can understand the reasoning behind it? In sending the said poker room the proof shows that you are who you say you are and that you are in possession of the card, it may just be a random spot check? Dont take it personally and relax, comply and your cash will be sent as soon as. Failing that head over to Betfred for some smashing fun. N.B You may be asked for documents to prove who you say you are. If you do not keep up repayments on your loans or other loans secured on your property your home may be repossessed. This of course has nothing to do with poker and has been added for a giggle to lighten the mood of this thread. Brap brap.

Martyn Betfred I think there is more chance of fraud from sending copies of my credit cards via an internet link than any other action. I have contacted my bank and they strongly recommend not doing this. I am already a member of Betfred and dozens of other sites who do not apply this worrying verification procedure when you withdraw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anybody knows of other sites that give this hassle when withdrawing let me know and I'll avoid them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Puntalot Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Re: The Poker Blacklist - Places not to play! All sites will have more security measures in place by September or if they have been granted an extension, possibly up until January 2008. This is a new law coming in, and it's for your security. If you don't like it, then best not to bet online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guppie Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Re: The Poker Blacklist - Places not to play! Had this recently with betfair(winnings from a freeroll)Have deposited and withdrew and do regularily without this procedure apparently only for freeroll winnings:unsure Have played in their live tournies also so was a bit surprised to say the least.Only other site I had this was mansion but decided the freeroll winnings were less than a webcam/scanner so just left it also dont have paper statements so was a bit awkward lol. It does happen though so if your not happy theres plenty of others to play at. Do feel though that the sites should state if they will need this verification up front.
