beware PKR.com

[efcgenius]

I found the comments on this site very disturbing regarding PKR displaying a misleading statement at the bottom of their webpage. There is nothing more important in life than financial security for both yourself and your children, after reading this forum I will never ever play for real money on PKR.

And as for the 2 guys who are defending this kind of mis-statement you should be ashamed of yourself, Imagine if you lost $10,000 on PKR and then found out they were misleading you about being regulated by the UKGC, would you want your money back - go figure.

They claim to be licensed by the UKGC so how many would question if its regulated by them too, and do people actually know the difference, this is very naughty makes me think PKR is not legitimate in my opinion.

I'm not getting involved in this discussion any further, but seeing as this is addressed at me, I feel the need to respond;

If I lost $10,000 there, it would be because I chose to gamble such money there. I would want my money back, but I don't see any reason why I think I might be entitled to it. I don't feel misled about them being regulated by the UKGC, because they're not, and I never thought they were. If you don't feel your money is secure playing at PKR, then don't play there - you don't have any particular reason to show why that might be the case though.

Thanks for telling me I should be ashamed of myself because I actually read up on a site before I play there though.

Snake eyes you are acting very much like a PKR.com shill.

There are a LOT of very good reasons NOT to play at PKR.com.

The fact they PKR.com is attempting to mislead players into thinking they are licensed by the UKGC when in fact they are not, is not even the worst thing that PKR.com has been doing.

How about PKR.com closing player accounts without cause and seizing monies from players?

Today I will be adding PKR.com to my sites Casino Hall of Shame Blacklist (not associated with CasinoMeister's Rogue list.)

This is my point exactly, YOU claim to read their websites carefully but the majority of people will NOT and that is whats misleading, how many people will understand the difference between licensed and regulated. If they are not regulated by the UKGC then they shopuld state this on their website its as simple as that, who exactly would back us up if they did scam our money, certainly not UKGC, you cannot defend this and nor can you state that PKR are 100% legitimate given this fact if mis-statement

This is enough to avoid playing for real money on their site for the rest of my life

Good advice, so why on earth would you be contemplating gambling with that future?

Erm, no. Why would I? What difference does the regulator make? maybe it has a bearing for you, it does not come into even 0.001% of my decision whether to play on a site.

If people don;t know the difference, then who they are licensed and regulated by is redundant anyway. DUCY?

...and how many care? Very very few, if they care they will read up like Snake has done, otherwise they won't.

I thought you shills were through with this thread?

It looks a like a couple shills trying to 'push down' the negative comments by adding a lot of non-related crap to the thread.

I see, so I joined up in April 2004, preparing for the day that PKR would launch, just in case there were some tinfoil hat posts on a non-poker forum?

I guess some people just see conspiracy in everything?

The PKR.com domain name was first registered in 2000.
So maybe it is not as far fetched as you try to make it sound.

Anyway, you are defending the indefensible. Regardless of your motives.

I guess some people just see conspiracy in everything?

Ya real funny, you insinuate that I am some kind of a conspiracy nut.
Your not so veiled insult just helps to prove my point about you being a shill. (it's like shill rule #3... If you can't confuse and derail, try to discredit...)

You don't have to be a conspiracy nut to see that poker rooms like PKR are ripping off people as fast as they can.

The only reason these guys at PKR are paying off players right now (or should I say promising to pay) is because of the fact they are getting their little operation exposed in public, here at CM and at my site.

Go ahead and continue to defend PKR.com and I will continue to expose their shady/crooked actions... We both get what we want... Ain't this a great world we live in?

I agree these misstatements/misrepresentations by PKR are troubling and should warrant caution by players.
