It is better to play in large reliable rums. Even there, there is a chance that trouble can happen, but there are much more such stories about small rums with a short life.

They closed their poker division, and now they are relaunching it and sending out invitation letters.

Cardschat should make a post warning about them.

Take care. Don't fall for it. It's a scam. The post is the best possible proof.

We are not affiliated with them. There are a lot of rooms out there - players should always do their due diligence before depositing any money on any site.

I understand, but don't you need to be a affiliated to alert people a company that was once serious and is now a scam? If you look for reports from several players with high balances who unfortunately gave up on withdrawing their money there.

Well, that's why we allow threads like these. :)

Know that you should not make a deposit on that site. You should be guilty of similar sites

Hello everyone! It's just amazing that after changing my tablet, I couldn't recover my account in this room. After several attempts, I gave up on this idea and see that it wasn't in vain!!! Guys and girls, avoid scammers!!! Wishing everyone success at the tables!

Yes, they are a scam site. I saw on their Facebook page a person reporting that he had not been paid for 10 days. Even though the site is cryptocurrency. Researching further, a person deposited using LTC. He made a withdrawal, and 2 days later they asked him to withdraw in USDT (But he couldn't, because the system only allowed LTC.) So he sent emails, and they never responded until then. Highstakes.com is a scam site. See the photos.

Scam site!
I won money on lucky wheels, I thought I would try to withdraw my money. A deposit is required for the withdrawal, I thought I would try with a smaller amount. The result: Your money is lost when you deposit, but I see that the transaction has been processing for a week.
They don't answer letters!
Everyone, stay away from them!

I confirm. At the moment, this site is completely unreliable. They send many different promotions via email, but they completely fail to respond to emails sent to them. I have submitted numerous withdrawal requests, but no response.

Since May, they've been emailing me at least twice a month, inviting to come back. They're letting me know there's action at the poker tables, that I can bet on sports and play casino games...:D
Quite interesting how a room with only negative reviews is still in business..:(

I have the same problem. They even give me $1 free from time to time. There are about 100 people playing there on average. They tempt you with huge bonuses as soon as you deposit some money.

The $5000 daily race is also a scam, in the beginning you can easily reach the one dollar prize, but after that it won't let you go higher no matter how much you play. It's surprising that a casino can operate like this, they can take other people's money with impunity.

Is there anyone lucky enough to have made a crypto deposit and also managed to withdraw crypto?

Interestingly, when you go to their website and check the certificate, it turns out that it has already expired.

"Poker is Coming Home
We have built a new HighStakes Poker client in house from years of experience and real player feedback. It is fast, modern and made for people who are serious about poker..."

I also received an email like this. When I try to run the poker App, I get a message that the app may harm my computer. I'd rather not try running it. You can also try playing through a browser. There are usually about a dozen players online. This is a bad joke.

They've launched MTT tournaments. For now, they're very modest ($5-10 prize pool, $1 buy-in). There are only a few players playing. There are no freerolls. Traffic is poor—a few dozen players.

There are hourly $10 freerolls. I've never seen anything like this before. It's a full-on battle against bots.
