Default Think about cashing out of GOAL Poker now



Some of you (fortunately not many of you) may have an account on Goal Poker, which is an Absolute Poker skin based out of Europe. If you have any money there, it is time to stop playing and cash out now.

I cannot give details at this time, but I will shortly. Goal Poker is in grave danger of going under, and your money will likely go with it.

Here's one detail I'll let you guys in on:

During the WSOP, Goal generously gave a few seats away to the main event through freerolls. One problem: They never actually bought the seats, and the players were left high and dry! The panicky players complained to Absolute, who fortunately did the right thing and put these people in at their own expense. Absolute should have terminated their relationship with Goal at this point, but for some reason, they didn't.

As bad as things looked then, it has gotten worse. Again, I can't go into details at this time, but you would be wise to cash out every single dollar immediately. Fortunately, Goal is still processing cashouts at this time, but that could change any day.

Yeah, I cashed my $700ish out of Goal Poker a week or so ago, and won't be depositing back. Cashout hit pretty quickly, at least.

I have heard that they are skimping on affiliate payments, so that's a bad sign.

I've read a lot of complaints about affiliates not getting paid by them and when I did some investigating into the WSOP issue no one seemed to want to talk about it. Rake the Rake stopped offering rakeback there due to issues revolving around that.

I'm curious about this info that cannot be discussed here or NWP so PM me if you wish. I work for a large portal and any info that could help us keep players safe would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm just about done my Stars bonus, and was considering going back to AP or a skin.

You may have saved me.

AP is fine, I would not worry about them.

I understand, but if AP had no current reloads available, I may have shopped for a skin.

Didn't mean to implicate AP in any way, sorry for confusion...

You may indeed have to wait 20 minutes until the next one comes out.
