Max is my hero (NoIQ Poker: bad)

[joduri]

Hi all,

I'd played on NoIQ poker for quite awhile, and made many deposits and withdrawals with no problems.

When they announced they were leaving the iPoker network, I decided to withdraw my funds, on 2/24/09. Over the next month they kept refusing to
send my money, and made all sorts of weird threats about law
enforcement, and that I had "tempered with the game" or something. They
wanted scans of my ID, details about my computer and internet connection...
it was very frustrating and confusing. Finally they simply said my account
was closed, and I would not be getting my money (low 5-figures).

I found this site, and "pitched a bitch" on 3/27. Max emailed me
yesterday to say that he had contacted NoIQ, and they told him I would
be allowed to cash out. Shortly afterwards, NoIQ emailed me and said
their investigation with 'local law enforcement' had vindicated me, and
my account was to be reopened! And I was allowed to cash out, and
today confirmed that it went through.

Funny how suddenly they were able to decide to cash me out! What
a bunch of jerks that site turned out to be...i'm guessing they got a
rash of cashout requests when they left iPoker, and decided to just
try and screw over people and steal their money.

But the story sure ends well, for me anyways! Thanks to this site
and Max. What an incredible advocate for the player this site is!

Thanks again!

'local law enforcement' ....LMAO - where do they find these people!

Kudos, Max....another good resolution.

Cheers guys, nice of you to say so.

@joduri: thanks for posting, I'll mark your case resolved.

I'm sure they had quite a run on the bank when they left iPoker. This is the first complaint I've seen though. Glad to see it was resolved.

I guess I'll be the second. Joduri's story sounds pretty similar to mine.

I'm about to try and figure out the "pitch a bitch" process. Hopefully
noiq will decide not to steal my money.

Don't know if you already know this but your starting point for the PAB's is here: Pitch-A-Bitch FAQ.

I've also been taken by noiq. I filed a PAB, and Max is helping me
out.

noiq has at least re-opened communication with me. Today
they told me that they are "working on this with the Toronto police department to verify your details we will let you know as soon as we have reply from them."

Unbelievable.

Sorry to hear other people are having the same problem, but it makes
me feel a little better that it's not just me.

Toronto PD? That sounds like a veiled threat to me....or maybe I'm just paranoid.

Sounds like smoke and mirrors to me. Police departments in Ontario do not run criminal background checks for anything other than other law enforcement agencies or potential employers, and this requires a fee. Any organization employing people to work the the public can have a CPIC done, which includes ONLY violent crimes, or ones involving children, including arrest records that did not involve convictions. It is MANDATED for people working closely with children, but the candidate must apply for it. Bondable employers ask potential employees to sign a release for a criminal record check. Police departments do not verify addresses for private businesses without consent of the person being investigated, and most probably not even then.

There are other public records that may be searched, but it is not Toronto's police force doing so, or any other police agency in Ontario.

I agree - this is simply a rather immature ploy to scare the bejasus out of complainants (probably in the hope that he or she will just go away or, if a fraudster, will be scared off)

Sounds like a bunch of teenagers are managing this outfit.
