Default Poker.com Statement - no change in operations

Very quickly, as far as we are concerned our operations are 100% legal under international law and we follow all laws of the jurisdictions in which our operations reside. There will still be plenty of places to play poker and the industry will adapt, evolve and survive.

I'd like to say something about the US legislative process and the integrity of these Republicans, but my mother always said if you can't say anything nice....

It's a small site where I ended 3rd in 20k freeroll and took 1.5K where my BR was 1.1K. Thank you Poker.com!

HaHa.
I took 1st in a 20k freeroll there back in January for $5k!!

Sorry to 1-up you.


Software wasn't working great on my computer at the time and obviously they aren't P-Tracker compatible.

But I wouldn't be opposed to playing there more again and had already been thinking about it.


IIRC, didn't Poker.com foot the bill for some other WSOP seat-winners from some other small-site who were going to get screwed?


They seem to be a really classy group.

Bob, when you were playing there the software was having major problems. They have upgraded several times since and theres been no problems at all. The software is pretty nice imo now.

Please don't play in the 50k freeroll if you do come back.

Thanks.

poker.com...great job for not bending to another country's "port security laws." Now, about that customer service deal. I sign on as new member, join NL 6-man tournament, get to play only 3 hands because of some graphics/performance balance that I don't know about. I see my chips disappear to the blinds, and you won't refund my entry fee because I got to play some hands?? Welcome to poker.com policy.

Smart move to post this. Other sites should be using this as an opportunity.

Poker.com is a small site offering mostly micro limits. No PT support, but OK software. You can multitable and they have resizeable windows, like Stars and Party.

They are also the site that picked up the tab to send ChecknRaise WSOP qualifiers to the tourney after CnR reneged and said it souldn't cover the tourney fees. (Believe there were 9 or 10 qualifiers, and CnR wanted to pay them the $10,000 tourney fee to them in monthly installments. No idea how that turned out.)

Something to keep in mind---today's small sites may be next month's big sites if they are willing to take US business.

I was one of the 9, thanks again poker.com for the WSOP experiences and good to hear y'all aren't pussing out like those other sites.
