Just A Head's Up On Rumour Of Peer To Peer Site Transfers


Recommended Posts

This was posted today on http://www.pokernews.com/RumorSettle Your Debts NowWe hear rumors that one of the top online poker rooms is going to put a halt to player to player transfers in the next month or so. Oddly enough, the move is supposedly not related to any kind of UIGEA or legislative pressure. We hear that the room in question considers it a preventative step toward better relations with authorities worldwide. While it appears no firm date has been set to enact the policy, reportedly the decision to make the change has been made. You might want to 'ship it' while you still can.Take it for what it's worth; a rumour but plan ahead if need be.

"Oddly enough, the move is supposedly not related to any kind of UIGEA or legislative pressure. We hear that the room in question considers it a preventative step toward better relations with authorities worldwide."Doesn't this statement contradict itself.I can see a site doing away with P2P transfers since this is a way that some scammers have moved monies around on a site. Investigating these scammers(is this a word?) takes manpower away from other customer service tasks. If P2P transfers are disabled at Stars or FT, you will see a TON of chip dumping. While a tracking program to catch this is simple enough to write and implement, I can see a whole lot more man hours going into the backlash from players getting their accts frozen. I would imagine Stars or FT would happily let people dump in HU SNG's since the vig would be so high. p.s. Jan, stop spreading rumors unless they are funny or obviously made up and untrue. :club:

I heard that Balloon Guy was a closet socialist and does profit sharing in his company. He also smokes cigars because he has bad gas and wants to cover up the smell. This is just a rumor :club:

I did debate as to whether or not to post the pokernews.com 'rumour' but decided people could read it over and make they're own decisions. It seems like every development has happened very quickly, without much warning. ie neteller mobney seized, firepay closing to Canadians, pokersites in the US market 1 day and gone the next, FTP check Withdrawal option good one day and not an option the next day for indefinite time period.

just play money at tiger. this is good for me considering i've lost 1000 play dollars in two weeks at 5 play dollars a point.but seriously 3 hours of chinese poker a night is just what my blue balls ordered.like an idiot i always make a full house in the middle (playing eastern [which sux]) instead of the big pair up front.
