PP closed my account

GH. · #1 01-02-2006, 05:43 AM

I can't log onto PP - it says my account has been closed. I called customer service/investigations and they said that my account was under "routine investigation" and that I would be able to log in 24-48 hours later. Is this anything to worry about? I have a rakeback account. I also have won a relatively large amount of money recently, running well while multitabling 15/30. I definitely do not cheat, although recently someone did call me a bot, even though I play pretty LAG.

So, is this standard?

Edit: my friend who has the same affiliate as me also had his account "closed". Same problem.

Apparently you have discovered what the problem is. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I really hope your affiliate didn't do anything really stupid like transfer you the rakeback on Party itself...

He transfers our RB money through neteller

My friend and I also play the same games, although we definitely don't collude. Quite the opposite actually, we try to outplay each other. We both have also won relatively tremendous amounts in the 15/30 game for the past few weeks - we are definitely two of the top moneymakers if not the biggest moneymakers in 15/30 during this time. Perhaps PP thinks we are colluding - that is also a possibility

Can PP just close accounts and seize money? Is this legal? Because if PP does this can I sue?

Not so good.

In the sence that you could sue anyone you want, yes.

Are you in the US? If so, how do you plan to sue a company in Gibralter?

If you don't collude, hand historys will show this and you should have nothing to worry about.

We both play up to 8 tables of 15/30. How do we collude? We're not bots and we have to make quick decisions. There is no time to chat. We both have huge egos anyways. Hand histories will show that we try to outplay each other a lot, and we both mistrust each other to the point that if one of us has ace high or better, the hand is going to showdown.

However, we do play similarly. As in more LAG than 2p2 TAG. They will quickly figure out we're not bots because we both isolate fish ridiculously and we throw in random raises and threebets based on the situation.

party could take all your money just about anytime they wanted and for any reason and you probably couldn't do much about it.

if they decided they didn't like you because you're left-handed and wear Hanes underwear then you are mostly powerless to stop them imo.

It's their site. Their rules. They have your money.
You best not be threatening...and hope they are willing to listen to whatever defense/excuse you have for whatever they end up accusing you of.

is this legal? can you sue?
they aren't in the U.S. It would be pretty difficult to sue them. It's possible somehow I guess. But it sure wouldn't be easy.

Can PP seize my funds based on the fact that I have a RB account and that I am a winning player?

That sucks. It really does, but the money I have in my account is a meaningless sum to them. It is a large sum to any sane individual who doesnt play like the big game at the Bellagio.

How should I approach if they keep delaying me? As in constantly telling me to "contact them again in 24-48 hrs"

they can.

but they really don't care if you are a winning player or not.

they might care enough regarding your rake-back.

Most likely the worst that would happen is they would close your accont and give you your money back.

Unless you were up to something super-shady they won't confiscate your funds. In the past, receiving rake-back has never qualified as being super-shady.

But what is all this 'can they' stuff?
Of course they can.
they have your money. If they wanted to not give it back to you that's up to them.
