Not being into online poker myself, all the stories like this just scare me off. Even rogue casinos usually return the deposit, but there seem to be so many of these poker skins that take everything and run, and then the players' accounts reappear under a different name, but sometimes not their money.
Prima is run by Microgaming, and when CASINOS go bust owing money, the players are covered, but this seems not to extend to the Prima poker skins. I have seen many complaints about Prima, and it seems the players have no-one to go to "officially", but have to take their fight to the forums and outside parties that help with player complaints.
How can the industry convince a non-poker player like myself to try it out, and that my money is safe, whatever happens to the individual skins.
From my point of view, it seems Prima is nearer the rogues than the reputable when it comes to poker, but it is the complete opposite with the Microgaming casinos.
I would certainly be interested in how this turns out, and who really screwed who, and whether it was properly handled by the industry, or was indeed a case of a poker skin selling it's player lists on, but ditching it's liabilities to those same players.
