I played in the group known as "PokerBoomRoom" on the Pokerrrr 2 App for about a year (club ID: r55ty). At first they were paying out winnings, but they eventually stopped and booted me without any explanation. My balance owed on there was $837,000, and it's obvious they booted me because they didn't want to pay me out. My name on there was countacolor, so if you played there I'm sure you remember me.

Others have reached out informing me they were scammed as well. Some players had their deposits straight up stolen without a refund. Others have said they were never paid out and booted without explanation. A few people who once worked for the club have also told me that the club cheats using bots and house players. I've been told they've been doing this for about 5 years.

The club is still running, and most of the players are American. I just wanted to warn everyone about the club, and if you know anyone who is still playing in the club, please let them know before they get burned. Let me know if you have any questions.
 
Well those are the exact risks u are basically willing to take by using those shady clubs. Lesson learned hopefully.

Thanks for the warning but i didnt need it.

True that. I was told the club had a good reputation, and it was amazing at first with the payouts. In the end, it was a little too good to be true.

Wait i just realize we are talking 837k. Misread that yesterday and thought its 837 $.

Why did u leave so much money on there?
 
Believe me, I tried to cash out as much as I could. They would only send me a certain amount at a time, and sometimes it would take weeks for them to send. I kept playing and kept building it up. Eventually the payments stopped and then they booted me from the club.

Good to know you were able to withdraw part of your earnings.

BTW, 837.000$... WOW!!!

Créeme, intenté retirar todo el dinero que pude. Solo me enviaban una cantidad limitada cada vez, y a veces tardaban semanas en enviármela. Seguí jugando y acumulando dinero. Finalmente, los pagos se interrumpieron y me expulsaron del club.

I'm sorry to hear that. Although with so much money at stake, I would do what I could to track them down. Although I suppose sending you small quantities and taking weeks to pay you was a clear sign that there was something wrong with the site. You should have stopped playing the first time you saw that the payments were in installments or after weeks. It's just my opinion. salutes
 
I think it would be interesting to hear the entire story, maybe see the 837K total.....

as opposed to $8,377.56 which would certainly have been covered with a 9K payout,

really curious why you would consider settling for "some iphones" if you were actually owed 837K ?

Creo que sería interesante escuchar la historia completa, tal vez ver el total de 837K.....

en comparación con los $8,377.56 que ciertamente habrían sido cubiertos con un pago de 9K,

Me intriga saber por qué te conformarías con "unos iPhones" si realmente te deben 837.000.

I don't understand the point of this comment? Does it matter if it was $8300. $83000. or $830000? The only thing that matters is that the page was reused for a fee, that's all that really matters
 
play atleast on some ggclub poker club how you know there are no superuser on some random app lol

I think the truth always matters...., especially when stories don't add up, not sure why that's hard to understand lol

If what he says is true and they didn't pay him. It doesn't matter if it's $10 or $100000. It's simple as that.

you're just so close to getting the point... language barrier maybe👍
 
MK, the convo you’re referencing about the 9K was a convo with the owner of the River Raiders club. They also scammed me, but I got my money back. Different club, different issue.

Also, thanks for posting these screenshots. Just so everyone knows, these are some of my texts with the BoomRoom. These texts show the club confirming my balance, and then ghosting me.

...Well you're just having the worst luck aren't you🤔.... so one club owes you 9K... but they paid you and one club

owes you 800K but they ghost you and won't even let you open any tables for them....

This clip is a portion of a conversation I had with someone who personally knows the people who run the BoomRoom. He describes in this clip how they cheat and scam.

Why bother with these fraudulent rooms? Read the reviews before registering.

I did. There were also local players that I knew who were playing in the club. The club has over 1000 players, and it's still running to this day.
 
That is always a risk with online platforms that you take & this time you loose big time. The more reason to just play live & cash out in real time. 😎

I agree 100%. All I’m trying to do now is spread awareness so this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

Sounds like you might have some leads on who's knees need some attention.
