The official DOYLE\'S ROOM thread.
 

DR seems to be the flavour of the moment, so let's please keep all the comments, questions and answers in this one thread for a while, for the benefit of everyone.

Kindly Notify Moderator if you see any new threads cropping up, and please refer divergent posters to this thread.

If we all work together on this, quietly and calmly, we can still stop this place from turning into A [CENSORED] ZOO!!!

Re: The official DOYLE\'S ROOM thread.
 

Well,

Evidently my money is "safe", except of course for pending bonuses (raped), points (raped).

Thanks Doyle. This goes right next to my worthless WPT stock.

I just got this email from Full Tilt.

Thank you for your email.

Full Tilt Poker is currently working with Doyle's Room on processing
funds transfers. This process may take some time to complete as there
are a few steps involved to ensure that your balance is properly carried
over. These funds should be available in your Full Tilt Poker account
shortly.

Within seven days of your transfer from Doyle?s Room, your Action Points
will be converted to Full Tilt Points and credited to your Full Tilt
Poker player account.

Your Action Points will be converted to Full Tilt Points based on your
Doyle?s Room VIP level:
* If you are a Doyle?s Club member, you will receive one (1) Full Tilt
Point for every four (4) Action Points
* If you are a Doyle?s Room VIP, you will receive one (1) Full Tilt
Point for every six (6) Action Points
* If you are a Doyle?s Room High Roller, you will receive one (1) Full
Tilt Point for every twelve (12) Action Points

The Full Tilt Points you receive in exchange for your Action Points may
be used to purchase gear from our Full Tilt Store
(http://www.fulltiltpoker.com/store.php) or to enter online tournaments;
unfortunately, these points cannot be used toward clearing any Full Tilt
Poker bonus you may have on your account.

We appreciate your patience, and welcome you to Full Tilt Poker. If you
have any other questions or concerns, please let us know.

Regards,

Mat
Full Tilt Poker Support

There seems to be a $10000 limit at Doyles Room on cashouts by check.

Anyone have any experience with this? What's the process if you want to withdraw more than $10000 at one time?

Dolyles was by far my best room of all time!!!
With the US players leaving this site it may become unplayable (4,500 peak) hopefully sending over some of the europeans that made the room my #1

Re: The official DOYLE\'S ROOM thread.
 

European players on VC and Golden Palace were what made Doyles such a fishy site to play at, not the US players. I am sure you will be just fine.

Another relevant email from DR. I sent them a query about my VIP status, since that matters in the transfer over (I didn't ask about points cashout - not sure why she interpreted it that way). The reply doesn't look like a form letter (but not relly on point to what I was asking, either) from the Director of Player Services.

The bold part has is worrying, since it looks like folks need to rush and get their money out as well as perhaps lose any RB payments (I know my RB provider is working on it, but he's not driving the bus), since you can't get money out of a non-accessible account. According to this, March 1 is a hard deadline for everything to be out. The second bolded paragraph explicitly delineates the inability to affect any transfers of access of accounts.

The shaft keeps getting bigger:


Hello Shaftee:

I have responded to your email in the past. Please make sure you are
getting our emails by checking your spam/bulk mail filters.

Based on the decision made Monday by DBPN management to no longer host
USA based players, the action point redemption program is not longer
available to you.

However, you may preserve your hard earned action points by going to our
cashier page and clicking on the link that will take you to Full Tilt
Poker registration. They have agreed to honor the action points of all
our USA based players.

Effective March 1st, you will no longer be able to access your account
at Doyle's Room, so I implore you to click on our cashier page today and
make the switch over to Full Tilt Poker.

You may, of course, affect a withdrawal of your funds from Doyle's Room
any time before the first of March.

It has been a great pleasure being your VIP host at Doyle's Room.

Kind regards,

Trish Salazar
Director of Player Services
The Doyle Brunson Poker Network

I was told this as well, so I have been trying to find out what happens to our rakeback payment, so I call the affiliate department and they say it will be deposited the first week of March. How will we get it if we have no access to our accounts?

yeah. my affiliate said the same thing. i sent them an email asking them to deposit it to my FT account. Is that feasible?

Re: The official DOYLE\'S ROOM thread.
 

Affiliates do not pay our rakeback, Doyles does this.

Absolutely right. Which is why it looks shady. DR says "don't worrry we're going to pay your RB" but it looks like into an account that can't be accessed. So right now unless RB affiliates can get paid directly (which I know mine is trying to do) we are going to get paid, we just can't collect.

Cashout from Doyle\'s Room, or transfer to Full Tilt and cashout there?
 

I have a few thousand in my Doyle's Room account that I don't really need in my Full Tilt account right now; if I did transfer my Doyle's roll to Full Tilt, I'd be cashing out most of that amount from Full Tilt in the near future. I'm aware of all of the delays in Full Tilt's withdrawal processing right now, but there may, naturally, be delays in Doyle's Room withdrawal processing in the near future too.

For those of you in similar situations, which are you planning to do:
1) Cash directly out from Doyle's Room
2) or transfer it to Full Tilt and cash it out from there in the near future?
Which check do you think will arrive faster? Do you think there's a higher risk of not being paid (or going through extensive hassle and delays) with one option versus the other?

FWIW I'm planning to cashout most of my roll from Doyle's before Mar 1 and just transfer a small cash amount and my Action Points balance to my Full Tilt account, but I don't feel too confident that this is the best move. I'd be interested to see what informed decisions other 2+2ers are making in this spot.

So I tried to spend my last 80k APs on a heart-rate monitor watch. I got this reply from DBPN.

Hi,

As a result of the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act (UIGEA) DBPN has reluctantly decided not to permit online real money play by USA- based Customers. Due to these restrictions and effective February 19th 2007 we can not deposit any money into your account, not even the bonus. This also restricts us from sending you Action Points Store merchandise. Please follow the link for our complete disclaimer regarding the UIGEA http://www.doylesroom.com/mail/news190207/index.html



We share your disappointment with this news and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.



[/ QUOTE ]

To me this sounds like complete BS. As if the UIGEA stops them from sending me a crappy watch! DBPN completely ignored the UIGEA until Tribecca forced them to drop US players and now they are using it as an excuse to welch on a promotion.

SW,

Is your host talking about post 3/1? I can understand why they wouldn't want to mess about sending a bit of your balance to FTP and another bit to you by check. If you cash out before 3/1 and let them xfer the balance to FTP, I can't see why there would be a problem.

So do we have to give up our points if we do not transfer our cash to fulltilt.

Thats a bunch of crap.

Paradise and Party handled the situation very well when they left the U.S. market.

Doyles Room is showing a total lack of integrity and class in this matter.
