Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

And they won't let me have it. there ain't too much there. $3352, but I'd kinda like it back. I found it there and I said, "AWESOME!!! 3K I didn't know about!" so went to the cashout page after learning that US players can no longer play there. The only cashout option was to use "Click2Pay". I had no idea what that was, but whatever. I try to create an account. I can't. I call support. I am told that I can't create an account, because for verification I must make a deposit using Click2Pay, which, as a US player, I am not allowed to do. Not so awesome. OK, can you just send me a check? No. wtf? We are looking for another option for US players. OK, that sucks..... Wait a minute, have they been "looking for another option" since 10/06? Jesus. OK, so then I go chat in their community chat box asking the support guy there how to get my money out. This is his best quote, "Card, no US banks will accept money from online gaming sites... Until we find one that does...." That's when the realization hit. They have no interest in giving me my money back, nor will they until, possibly, US law changes and/or they decide to allow US players again.


Long story short, any Non-american out there want to help me out?

Obv you are thinking this... but I'm just going to point out that in BBV you probably mean "somebody I recognize who I know not to be a scammer."

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

thanks for reminding me I have 3k in my epass account because it got frozen

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

you can send it to me also (pm me about it as I am not going to post my SN here)

The question then is how to get it to you. I could bankwire or send you over Moneybookers, Click2Pay or Paypal?

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

Play heads-up against someone...loose, let him ship it over to you on another Poker-site.

I am not registered with PokerRoom, otherwise I would help you out...I'll register for a cut though ;-)

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

I have click2pay and I'm in the US.

I can still use it to move funds from one site to another but can't ultimately withdraw.

I'll tell you what I do in PM or on AIM

also if you have click2pay, I have an idea, figure out the min deposit, I can transfer that to you from click2pay to click2pay for cash on full tilt. Then you'll be verified.

It's late and my reading comprehension may be low at this point but I think that'll help right?
Bah...just PM me and I'll help in the morning.

OK, so PRoom will only allow me to transfer $500 a month. So, if I find people who can help me, it'll "only" take 7 months to get my money out. Now, I'll gladly pay 3% commission on this. Anyone who is willing to send me $97 up to $485 on Pokerstars for $100-$500 on PokerRoom, please send me a PM. Also, you would need to send first. I'm an established poster who's not only been here 3 years, but I've met over 100 2p2ers. I will ask two moderators who know me in real life to post here saying that they vouch for me. That this isn't some sort of a scam. Thanks to anyone who can help, and hopefully we'll do this next month too. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

thx, Kidd, but the support lady said that I can't even create a Click2Pay account because to create the account I'd need to make a deposit via Click2Pay which is illegal in the US.

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

is there no deposit method that you can cash out with if you know someone in the UK

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

as far as I can tell, no.

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

CSC- I knew what you meant.
I was trying to discourage scamers from PMing you was all.

good luck.

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

you cant have them send you a courier check?

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

Chipdump to someone you trust.

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom

CSC bathes in money.
He wipes his ass with hundos.
He uses 20s as napkins when he eats pizza.
He makes 3k in 15 minutes.

Easy to forget about pocket change...

(Sorry CSC, wish I could shake 'em down myself!)

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

epassporte?

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

if you have moneybookers/stars i'll try transfer it over to you if you want

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

okay, i'm not gonna use checkboxes cause they sucks but yes, huge potential for scamaments unless you can really trust the person.

However, here's a shot, how about letting someone from EU into the a/c, they withdraw $3k via check and keep rest online or whatever as a cut, shipping the cheque/ check :P to you directly through the post?

It's so crazy that it just might work..:)

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

CSC is 0% scam. I will vouch for him and if anyone here has any reason to trust me then they can trust him.

k thx

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

Hi Mr. Taylor,

Thank you for contacting PokerRoom.com support.

Thank you for your e-mail regarding your cash-out query.

You will be pleased to know that I have read and understood the problem that you are having.
In fact I think that I would be just as frustrated if I were you.
The problem is that we are prohibited to get the money to you and when the US players were being notified of the new law that is in place.
You did have a period to collect your money.

Thank you in advance for your patience.

Should you have any further queries, please contact us again.

Regards,
Luthando

PokerRoom.com Support Team

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

hey dude i can trade, ill send you 3k at AP and you can send me 3150 at Pokerroom. PM me if interested. Or stars if you want.

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

apparently I am not allowed even to transfer money on pokerroom. Just had another conversation with their support. His points:

1. US players had a grace period
2. If you can find a way for us to send you your money, please let us know.
3. PokerRoom is different because it is a publicly traded company, Pokerstars is privately traded, and therefore governed by different rules (???)
4. You can look at your money every day online. We're not stealing it.

He ended up hanging up on me after refusing to transfer me to a superior.

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

oh, can't cash out to someone else's neteller/bank account either.

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom
 

I don't really know what to do about this. Patience, in this case, appears to mean wait until pokerroom wishes to allow US players to play again. Which means anywhere from years to never, doesn't it? I'd love some ideas.

Your name is green. If that's not a reason to trust you, I don't know what is.

Re: Just realized I have money on PokerRoom

In all seriousness, I'm pretty sure he's not even allowed to sit at a table with his money. PokerRoom closed off hardcore to U.S. players (I was playing on Hollywood Poker at the time)... but this situation is pretty ridiculous, even if they did offer a warning. If you have money on there, they should be able to mail you a check or at least allow a transfer.

He can't play, so how can he chipdump? And PR get a bit sniffy about obvious chipdumping from people who are having trouble getting funds in or out of their accounts. Admittedly, the last people who did it (that I know of) are still playing on the site, but they do get a bit awkward about it.

(This post sounds more dismissive than I meant, but I've been drinking. Sorry.)
