[Sunz of Beaches]

Oh no,

He obv does not need me and will be completely fine with the insights of posters like u, Antoninis etc.

Thats my last answer to u ever. Should have already put u on ignore long ago for ur daily spamming and definitely missed it after u exposed urself softplaying/cardsharing in the pokerstars cardschat freeroll. Pathetic.

But how are you going to get informative responses to situations happening between pokersites and all countries worldwide?

I've often relied upon his info. for stuff like 'how to deposit while living in Cambodia' 'how to withdrawal poker funds while stuck on a cruise ship during covid off the west cost of Mexico' Isn't it the same everywhere in the world as it is in his world?

I'm thinking you should re-consider. You're going to be missing out on some real gems.

It’s bad when something you’re used to changes. Maybe someday they will return.

888poker . Man ... When they leave a country they should inform players much earlier. 3-5 days before is not good enough . The same they did with Greece . They left , but before this they sent me an email , saying I could withdraw my cashier balance in 3 days , I saw the email after a week .....

As others have said, some information seem to be inaccurate here, since this is not, what poker sites normally do, when they pull out of a market. And its also not the content of the message, which balo has shared here. On PokerStars antonis32123 has played more than 15.000 games for an average buyin of just $0,15, which is typical of someone, who have never deposited or only made like maybe a few minimum deposits. So its entirely possible, his account on 888 Poker was not verified or did not meet the conditions for withdrawing, because no deposit was ever made.

For what its worth, when I moved from Denmark to Sweden, 888 Poker closed my account, since it was registered to the danish license. And without even requiring me to do anything, my money was returned to me via the method already established by previous withdrawals. So I can absolutely not confirm, that 888 Poker is some scummy site out to steal peoples money for no reason. But if you are freerolling and never deposit, then maybe you can not expect the same level of customer care

It's very sad to hear this news, my friend, that the 888 poker market is leaving your country because 888 poker is growing very much and getting better now, but it's terrible that you're leaving your country. I hope you've withdrawn all the money in your account and everything is fine. We wish you good luck so that GGPoker doesn't leave your country and Acr

that is in fact illegal no matter what 888's FAQ say.
Was it a lot ? in which case you should definetly seek legal counseling

I got my money . I just had to email the support , then give a Iban bank account number and they sent the money . That took little time ,I think two weeks . No big deal . It's just not right to give deadline of only 3 days . If I had more time I might had decided to play some $$$ before I close my account , for sure play any ticket left in my account . But they gave no time . I just saw the email after 888poker had departed from Greece

I created another account to 888poeker with VPN , it was a failure , I closed that account , I won't try again with VPN , maybe nowhere with VPN again .....

Indeed. Which is how we would say "Gegen die guten Sitten " and is illegal
But glad you got it back in the end

Yup VPN is never a good idea since it's not allowed they can declare your funds as confiscated.

Deadline for what? Using up your freeroll tickets or something? You got your money out, so there is nothing to complain about here

 

[billibooo]

In this thread they explained that they had three days to get their money. They did not say tickets, their money and that is not cool practise for a company. IT DOES NOT matter how the money got on their account, it is theirs.

I really do not get why people come in threads to call people liars, or cheaters, or whatever other negative personality trait WITH minimal understanding or information. I think you all need to grow up, talk as adults not weak trolls and be kind. CC deserves better than this. Love to all but HOLY freaking MOLY.

It's about that he had to contact support to get His money cause of their stupid 3 days policy .
That's Just Not right

For sure it would be ideal, if they gave a bit longer notice, and in Norway it seems to have been 5 days, which is at least a little bit longer. Its obviously easier for people to log on and request a withdrawal through the cashier menu than to contact support, after their account is closed. But at the end of the day the most important has to be, that he got his money out
