Farnace 0 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Hello everyone. I have been reading Daniel's blog and all of your posts for several months now and I have enjoyed them a great deal. I haven't felt the need to share anything until now. Enjoy!Sorry if this post is LONG but it covers a big problem I've been dealing with at one of the smaller websites out there.A very good friend signed up for a website called "ecasinodeals.com". It is a site where you can earn comps by signing up for various poker sites through them. He has been on it for some time and has gotten a TON of chip sets, KEM cards, chip racks, and Amazon.com gift certificates. The poker has been profitable for him too. I decided to join as well. I picked "Fastpoker.com" as my first casino. I started with $100 and grew it to $1700 playing mostly $2-4 limit. And then this happened:I had played 51 sessions and 134 hours. In my 51st session, after 3 hours of play I pick up Ah-5h. There are approx. five people that see the flop of J 10h 8h. The turn is a blank for me. On the river, it is heads up. It's a 3h. I have the absolute nuts. There is no straight flush or full house possible. I bet. I'm raised. I re-raise. I am raised. This goes on until my opponent has gone all-in (approx. $200). He shows J 10 for two pair and I drag a massive pot by $2-4 LIMIT standards.The next day I log in and am notified that my account has been locked because I was involved in "chip dumping" on that hand. I petitioned their support/admin team as I had no choice but to extract as much money as I could from this opponent. They have refused to reactivate my account and have refused to allow me to withdraw my funds from the account. I have got $1700 that I earned playing solid, tight agressive poker that I cannot withdraw. The website's admin will not hear my case. It appears that my only recourse is with the people at ecasinodeals.com. They've been very supportive as this situation reflects on their website's quality. They will hopefully use their contacts to help my situation.Please please please BEWARE of Fastpoker.com. If you would like to read my full thread on this problem, please go to: http://www.ecasinodeals.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1299I am not promoting any website. I am just upset that it appears that I have been cheated out of $1700 and I would like as many people to know about it as possible. Thank you for reading this. Link to post Share on other sites

ddudley 0 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 I would get a lawyer involved. Even if it cost me $2000 for the lawyer it would be worth it for me just to prove I'm right and they a wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

Even if it cost me $2000 for the lawyer it would be worth it for me just to prove I'm right and they a wrong.the problem is that these sites are in countrys that allow this stuff to happen. most of these sites arent regulated by anyone. It will be hard to get the money. This just shows that u should only play a the big reputable sites that dont do this stuff. I hope u get your money. Link to post Share on other sites

flyingmoose 0 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 Chip dumping in a limit cash game? There would be no benefit for you in that scenario other than to give the casino more rake. Their claim is ludacris.I hope you get it worked out and get your money back. Link to post Share on other sites
Awful 0 Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 DO NOT follow the lawyer advice.By wagering over the internet, you're committing a crime. You can't sue someone for screwing you while you're committing another offense. Plus, since they're overseas, what exactly will laws barring what you did and don't apply to the gaming site do for you?Your actions should be1. Bother them a lot2. Never use that site ever3. Publicise the instance so that noone else uses them and they get negative pub in the online poker communities. Link to post Share on other sites

That statement is at best extremely misleading and at worst flat out wrong. Maybe you should do some reading:http://gamblingandthelaw.com/columns/159_i..._poker_long.htmI do agree that since they are out of the country a lawyer may only be good for showing them you are serious about getting your money unlocked.
