Which ONGAME skin is most trustworthy for high-stakes / large balances

teddyFBI · #1 10-09-2007, 01:30 AM

I'm posting to ask which Ongame skin is preferred by those who keep large balances, and need to feel comfortable that their bankroll is sufficiently liquid -- i.e. can be withdrawn on short notice. (Hence me posting in this forum, which is probably home to some large online bankrolls.)

Up to this point, I've played at Hollywood, but they're on the verge of losing my business because of a terrible glitch in their cashout system. They advertise a daily cashout limit of $10,000, which I understand is typical of all Ongame skins, and would be just fine with me......if they actually HONOURED it.

But as I detailed in this thread, nearly EVERY one of my large cashouts has been unilaterally canceled by them, without explanation! After an annoyed series of emails back and forth, they claim that it's because their system has the following ridiculous glitch: if a withdrawal is requested before the previous one has cleared, then the two are lumped together by their ridiculous cashout system, and if the total if more than $10,000 (their daily limit, so they say) then the system automatically rejects BOTH cashouts because it thinks that they exceed the $10,000 daily limit, even if they are made several days apart!! Why is this a kick in the teeth? Because Moneybookers cashouts take 4 to 6 business days to fully clear, so their cashout limit, while advertised to be $10,000 / day is more like $10,000 per WEEK. And don't even get me started on how retarded it is that BOTH cashouts are canceled in the above scenario...it would be one thing if their system simply said "sorry, because you have a pending cashout of $10,000, you can't request another one til it clears," but instead it basically says "whoa, we've got to reject BOTH of these cashouts, because our system isn't smart enough to recognize that two requests made 3 days apart are actually SEPARATE cashout requests."

Bottom line, I've been trying to withdraw $30,000 from there for nearly a month (!!), and have been stuck in a continuous loop of cashout requests followed days later by the cancellation of those same cashouts. I've been assured by them several times that the problem has been fixed, only to request a couple cashouts and find that in fact NOTHING has been fixed.

So unless they get their act together, I'm looking to move Ongame skins. What are some skins that you have found to be trustworthy with large bankrolls? Do any of them offer HIGHER daily cashout limits than $10,000? I've been told that some skins offer wire transfer cashouts that are NOT subject to the $10,000 daily limit typical at most Ongame skins...but Hollywood doesn't. Rakeback would also be nice...but not an absolute must. I just want somewhere that values me as a high-stakes player and makes me feel comfortable keeping a high bankroll on their site.

Betsson is a very large betting company with sports and casino aswell as poker. They also have TV commercials which I dont think any of the other skins have.

Pokerroom is the original skin, so that should be pretty safe too

wasn't pokerroom the one that had a [censored] load of problems before? w/ that one big loser guy that was a dick. i can't remember his name, he's pretty much gone now. but he used to play high stakes and won constantly, and he's dumb.

anyway. i think i remember hearing a bunch about how pokerroom sucks.

yeah irishcurve had a lot of trouble with collusion accusations, but it's a pretty unclear case. i had heard these accusations before he ever had his account frozen at proom.
