Warning from an ex employee of Futurebet/ Digital Gaming Network

Mustbe, somebody posted this on another forum that FB sites no longer connected. I downloaded 2 (Pokes Poker and Big Nuttzz) and both connect to DGN still. I think a bunch of them have just closed up shop including Bayou, Carnaval and Alamo. Bayou posted that they were not getting paid their cut and of course as we know their players were not getting paid either. I'm sure there are many franchisees and players out there that never saw a dime.

So Pokes Poker is still in business then.

Has anyone received a cashout recently (in the last 6 months) or are they still just scamming everyone?

Marv, Pokes owes out over $1,000,000 and AFAIK nobody has gotten anything in close to a year.

I recall a big to-do when FB was bounced by OnGame from their poker network.

Supposedly, FB was not paying cashouts. Did any burned players ever get paid ?

No these players owed by Bayou, Carnaval, Pokes, Alamo, Revolutionary and Pure are all owed money from when they were on Ongame.

OP: how effective do you expect legal action to be? I always assumed it would not do much at all.
I have a pretty big chunk stuck on one of their sites. The player support number that they give is manned by people who have no clue whats going on who are unconnected with the rest of the organization apparently. Once I told the customer support rep that he worked for a "[censored] shady organization" that's basically scamming money, and he goes, "i know."
Thanks for making the OP, the ppl running this thing deserve jail time.
