Default What % of People with Suspended/Closed Accounts Deserve It?

I'll say upfront that I'm unsympathetic to most posts whining about their accounts being frozen or closed for various reasons. I also prefer that an online poker site be too vigilant in policing bots, multi-accounters, and other shady practices than not vigilant enough.

But I'm here to get your opinion. Of the people who have had accounts frozen, suspended, or closed by an online poker sites (all such people, not just people who have complained on 2+2), in what percent of cases was the poker room acting reasonably?

i have a life ban from pokerstars, ultimatebet, and absolutepoker for swearing. never made a bad deposit or was accused of multi-accounting or collusion, just bitching.
i have had 5 accounts (5 different computers) on pokerstars and all of them closed. ultimate bet legally allows 3 accounts, so im on my 2nd life there and doing good.

I thought people just got chat bans for swearing. Why ban them completely?

Majority will be reasonable. No site wants to ban a player because it just means lost revenue. So there will be justification unless the site has made a huge error which IMHO is rare.

The problem really is more to do with whether the sites give correct and swift information as to the reasons why. FTP is blasted more than most in this respect. It is not so much whether a player’s account should be suspended but why they are not informed immediately as to what is happening and why.

A lot of trusting respondents here.

I suppose it depends what you mean by "deserve it." People who get strongarmed off sites because they cost the sites money aren't necessarily doing anything bad. Lot of people caught heat in the bonuswhoring days, not just gnomes. Nowadays, if you deposit at (say) absolute with a credit card repeatedly, then withdraw by another method, the site can easily lose $30 per deposit off you. I have just been the subject of a "security investigation" that involved seizing $1600 for eleven days that I attempted to cash out because I had deposited, not played for six weeks, had my bonus expire, deposited again, and then cashed out the 6-week-old amount before I had played much. (Yes, they gave the money back, and didn't place any new restrictions on me. But I wonder what they'd do to someone who had deposited more that way.)

Forget this is Absolute or the $30 "loss" can you not see why this may raise a red flag?

Pretty sure you are rigth. You can get your chat disabled, but I doubt you can get banned for that.
