kcas451 0 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 That really stinks that they could do something like that. Contact the Off Shore Gaming Association. I don't know if there's anything they can do exactly, but I know websites don't want to be on their bad list. So maybe threatening party poker with this might work. First I'd contact the OSGA and see if they have any ideas or can help in any way. It's osga.comBest of Luck!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

21gambit 0 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Im pretty suprised that such a popular sit would not do everything in their power to make sure they squared everything with their players. Im sure if you complain enough that this will be fixed, provided there was no wrong doing. I have horrible visions of you soft playing your GF on a NL table and this was somehow triggered in their anti-collusion software. Link to post Share on other sites
kcas451 0 Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 The problem is they have so many clients, they don't care if they lose 1. They figure 1 person can't bring down their business. Because of their advertising, whatever they lose they gain 3x over in new players. That's where someplace like OSGA may at least help in getting the word out. It sucks that places do that and think they can get away with it. Link to post Share on other sites
Socrates 0 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 The OSGA is nothing more than a watchdog group. Even if they had PP at the top of their list of bad sites to play, do you think people actually go there and search for sites to play on. No, they come on places like this board and ask.

21gambit 0 Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 What is the point of your post socrates? What do you suggest he do to solve this problem?kcasI believe that once a business gets large enough and starts making enough money they do everything in their power to ensure that everything they do follows proper business ethics and laws in order not to jepordise the huge faucets of cash they have. I cannot imagine their managers/ceos/local warlord not ensuring that one player was given the money that was rightfully his. They might not care about losing one player, but they do care about the message that one extremely dissatisfied custom can spread to many many other potential future customers.To the original poster:please keep us updated Link to post Share on other sites
kcas451 0 Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Yes, I suppose your probably right. I've just had many experiences with poker sites and sportsbooks alike. Kind of leaves a sour taste in my mouth. But the fact that they're not doing anything to give him his money back speaks volumes. Any decent site I've ever been at has went out of their way to make sure I get paid immediately. Even if he gets his money they didn't conduct business the right way.

HoosierAlum 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Wow, this really wants me to take all my money off Party Poker. Shady business. Link to post Share on other sites
whippedspoon 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Party is shady. All the gambling sites are pretty much off shore operations but if you did have a problem..who do you sue? You would never be able to recover your money and since their call centre is overseas, they just don't treat the customer the same as North American companies. Sadly, individuals will continue to have problems. The only way to fight back is to find out how many more people have a problem.Start a "partypokerisrippingmeoff.com" site. Funny enough, when people get screwed they immediately search the internet to see if anyone else got screwed. If you start a site, then other people can post their stories and complaints. Party Poker will not like that. But it's the only way to get action.Maybe a news organization like Dateline will pick up the complaint. They love stories about ripoffs and stuff like that. But you have to get the story started. Link to post Share on other sites

SabaAba 0 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 I have an idea. If you really want, I would file a small claims against Mike Sexton. Claim that he promoted that site and that is the reason you joined. Now the site has stole your money and he is responsible. Or at least email Sexton and "threaten" him to a law suite. You might want to try and see if normal tactics works first, but I bet you could get some lawyer that will sue Sexton for you and add a couple grand for emotional distress and charachter defamation. Sure the lawyer will take half of it, but who cares, it will be a hell of a story. Link to post Share on other sites
