XdreamerX 0 Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 I thought you said "nobody" played on the site except bots.BURN!!!Well playing no... You have to deposit $50 and wait 30 days to withdrawal your winnings from the freeroll, plus play through 20 times the amount. I was talking to a few players that tried LOL... I told them it was stupid to do so, but to each there own I guess.BURN What a geek Link to post Share on other sites

nutzbuster 7 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 HiI won a freeroll last night on Pirates of Poker and well they don't call the site pirates for no reason. After winning my $800 I soon found out that there is know one actually playing on the site. They are all BOTS. So I believe that this is money laundering they have this so called freeroll and pay the top 5 people, not bad with only about 40 people in the tourney. TO GOOD TO BE TRUE. You then have to play with their computers 20 times your winnings to withdrawal ($16000), oh and don't forget deposit. Guess what the computers fold when you have something and the 5 computers will raise it up when you might get something (you wont hit) and check to you when they have something it hopes you will bet. I have contacted the toll free number, but it was a casino with an affiliation to the site that is of coarse in Costa Rica. This is money laundering and I don't know where or who to talk to or if anyone can help. Isn’t their something with United Nations that controls this? Thank-you for reading and any insight in to this would help. Wow. Thats rough Link to post Share on other sites

The money never touches you, infact it never will according to your claims.so, technically, They are making fake money off their fake money???With plans to turn it all into real money?

Roark_8 0 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Please invest everything you have left in your education. Whatever spare time you have from the job you will get sorting rocks should be devoted to gaining a vague familiarity with your native tongue.Considering his post count, this dude is probably long gone, but this gets my vote a best post in a very entertaining thread. I wish this was a reputable site though. I'd instantly play these instead of stars. Just to taunt other players in pirate talk. Even after it becomes horribly unfunny.

WhiteSpade 0 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Money LaunderingThe process of creating the appearance that large amounts of money obtained from serious crimes, such as drug trafficking or terrorist activity, originated from a legitimate source.This is comical. Exactly like the movie Office Space, you had to look up 'money laundering' in the dictionary. Link to post Share on other sites
