DGS (Jungle Poker etc.) Folds

[pokeraddict]

According to SBR DGS (incorrectly reported in the article as DGN) is closing with player's funds. It has already been reported that Wingows was stuck $65,000 by DGS. Here is the article from www.sportsbookreview.com

BigJuicyOdds (SBR rating D+) poker network, Dynamic Gaming Solutions (DGS) folds

BJO states that the provider has closed with licensee and player funds. BJO also tells SBR it will be transferring all poker balances to a new network provider, Dobrosoft. The migration of accounts is expected to take three days. Players can also request a payout or a balance credit in the BigJuicyOdds sportsbook, which is a separately operated. Players with other poker brands may be less fortunate. JunglePoker.com is owned by the Dynamic Gaming network and is not expected to settle accounts. G2Gpoker, a poker-only gaming site, has previously stiffed players as part of the Futurebet Gaming network.

I went to observe one of their tables. Their biggest game running ($10 NL) and the players all know they are playing with play chips. They have known for a while there were no cashouts being made. The games are still running though but there is no access to the cashier. At least nobody new can get scammed.

After bigjuicyodds informed that they are moving to the GOLD CHIP network after the collapse of DGS and that they will be respecting the players balances there has been some serious movement of money at junglepoker. I saw over 50000$ being dumbed to one dude by several oyher players without ny attempt to hide what they were doing. I only wish i have even 1 $ at bigjuicyodds....so i could dumb my money to safety too....i will be losing 5figure balance here.

I figure it doesn't exist. Does anyone have any idea how to find out if this is legit?

Am I the only one that saw this coming months ago? Jungle raised many red flags with me because they were (at least one of) the FIRST poker rooms/casinos to take 6 weeks to pay USA players.

When epassporte dumped them and DGS blamed it on "technical issues with epassporte" it was obvious things were wrong. By then I'm sure it was too late though.

The insurance company shares their DNS with Dynamic Gaming Systems and many of the skins. There are also no backlinks to the insurance company and their emails bounce. It is a made up empty shell IMO.

ONLINE POKER SITE DUCKS NETWORK FAILURE

Maybe it's third time lucky for Luckyhog Poker....

The apparent failure of the Dynamic Gaming Systems online poker network continued to cause players stress and anxiety this week as some of the estimated 24 small poker skins on the ailing network bugged out for more reliable homes, but player communication was scant.

One management that seemed to be doing more than most was that at Luckyhog.com, which produced a press release without identifying its originator but advising that the company was moving to an unspecified network and would look after its players where the requisite information was available.

The new network remained a mystery, as Luckyhog failed to respond to emails asking for its identity - not a good sign.

The statement went on to detail Luckyhog's remarkably unsuccessful record with its networks. The now notorious Futurebet operation was its first home, which failed leaving (or so the mysterious Luckyhog spokesman claims) the poker skin's management to sort out unpaid players. Moving to DGS, it would appear that history is repeating itself as far as Luckyhog is concerned.

Unfortunately, many of these small poker rooms are unprofessional and underfunded from the get-go, and when things go wrong it is all too common for the anonymous managements to disappear faster than morning mist on a hot day....all with little if any concern for owed players. Luckyhog notes this in its statement, alleging that such managements often reappear with a new product and a new brand...but no payments for their erstwhile customers.

This is not the case as far as Luckyhog is concerned, notes the anonymous author of the statement.

The real purpose of the Luckyhog statement was clearly to try and retain players on its new network, and to this end it urges members to visit the site and register, and then email the poker room at info@luckyhog.com with a) new screen name b) old screen name c) Cash balance d) email address e) Name and Address

If this done, Luckyhog undertakes that within 24-48 hours the full outstanding cash balance will be placed in the player's new account

Unfortunately two network failures are not the only negative marks on the Luckyhog scorecard. There have been player warnings of hassles with the sportsbook operations of the company and a recent complaint on the Poker Analysis site of an unauthorised charge to a player account. Other players are put off by talk of the introduction of an online strip poker game.

The bottom line will, as always be how honestly and quickly the site's owed players are paid following the DGS debacle...paying owed monies into a new poker room account on yet another network is probably not the best way to satisfy players.

OKUSA Poker is evidently gone also, no contact to try to move the base to another platform and no answers to support emails.

They owed me $143.12 - most of it from freerolls. Sure hope someone picks up their base and honors the balances, but I will not hold my breath.

Just another reason to cash out ASAP whenever you reach a cashout threshold. A lesson that I evidently need to be reminded of more frequently.

I also had a few small balances at Jungle and BJO, freeroll winings.

I will miss some of the people from OKUSA, there were some skilled players there and that made for some great games.

Your balance at BJO should be OK.
