fullcontactpoker is on this list and they are still using Negreanu's name and picture.

Any know the story behind this?

FCP was a Futurebet skin when they were all part of OnGame. After OnGame left the US, FCP merged into PokerStars and obviously no longer has anything to do with Futurebet.

FCP moved to DGN for a while. FCP banked itself and is the only Futurebet licensee that I know of that was/is not banked by Futurebet. This is why FCP never had problems paying players. As mentioned FCP no longer exists as a poker room. The list of sites on that page at CM is almost a year old.

I found this in an old forum post. I am no expert on this stuff, but I am sure PA can confirm what it means.

The guy states this: "I just did a whois search on this igamingsystems and found out its e-marketbiz, which is Casino Resellers (one of the companies selling futurebet):

man, I'm happy I ever got paid by newyorkpoker and alamopoker many moons ago

Ron Katz is FB's CEO. The fact he is contact for igaming shows there is obviously a relationship. Igaming, DGN and FB are all the same by the evidence of this whois. Notice the DNS is DGN's too.

It's intersting that a company based in a civilized country such as Canada can continue to operate and defraud players without attracting the attention of the law or the media.

Tom-

I have a question regarding this. It seems none of the FB sites are on the DGN network anymore. The few you mentioned may be, but the hundreds that used to be no longer are.

Can you explain this? Where does iGaming fit into this? I have played some on one of the sites you listed without any cashout problems.

[KSOT]

Also if Tom ever comes back here, why did you quit and why are you outing FB now?

[Pokeraddict]

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.

One of the Futurebet sites double paid my withdrawal of ~$900 after holding it in pending state for over 2 months (and several emails to support). Guess if I informed about double payment to them - NO. FU and thanks for free money, HAHAHAHA! Never gonna touch any futurebet skins anymore.

Funny story; when i first started playing on powerplayer poker abour 2 years ago every single time I cashed out they would double credit me. This went on for months. I probably got
3k+ for free.
