Re: Absolute poker locked my acct and took my money

[ QUOTE ] LOL. You deposited $2000, transferred $250 to a friend, then cashed out $1000 with virtually no play, leaving $750 in the account. Yeah, that makes it okay. [/ QUOTE ] LOL, what? I don't see anything in the T&C's that say they get the right to keep your money for doing this. If they did, I wouldn't play there. Would you? [/ QUOTE ] Of course I'd play there. I wouldn't deposit $2000, transfer $250 to you, then withdraw $1000 without playing. |

The rest of you guys should ease up. I don't know whether this guy is on the level or not but neither do you. These are the same people who own Ultimate Bet and there is no good reason to blindly trust them. Go easy on the trolling until you actually have something worthwhile to say. [/ QUOTE ] SW, All the usual elements are present in OP's story that we have seen a hundred times before: 1) n00b posting account instead of longtime poster; 2) transferring money to another player; 3) withdrawing soon after a deposit and limited play. All of those factors, common to scams and chip dumps, do not indicate any credibility that should lead to other posters "easing up". Even if he is on the level and is just stupid, being a n00b account shouldn't lead others to be willing to help him as the probability is just too high he's not on the level. |

Did you actually see the email he received from AP or did he just say this after you told him your story? [/ QUOTE ] I sat with him together at his computer table, as he did the search for "Absolute" in his yahoo.ca mail. Then we read everything that came in from them. Starting from the "welcome" e-mail to transfer notification, to the e-mail about closed account, and to the random piece of spam which contained words "absolutely free" in it. [ QUOTE ] The rest of you guys should ease up. I don't know whether this guy is on the level or not but neither do you. [/ QUOTE ] I am a lady, not a guy. Otherwise thanks. |

Re: Absolute poker locked my acct and took my money
If you want anyone to take you serious post the emails your received from Absolute. Also, write an email for them stating your case and tell them you need clarification for the reasons why your account is closed. Post that email and their response to it. Otherwise, you're wasting time here.

Re: Absolute poker locked my acct and took my money
I don't have an opinion on OP problems but the insinuations being posted that there is something wrong with depositing funds and then turning right around and withdrawing them are ludicrous.
