I need help, I'm being stiffed for $100,000

[isaacm]

Noble poker is running a Fort Knox jackpot promotion. A few weeks ago, I decided to play since I know I have won sit n' gos before, and I have poker skills. I was fortunate enough to come out on top of 6 straight games. It took me the span of 3 weeks, but I won all 6. I was so excited, and couldn't believe I won. After the 6th game, I sent all the required information to them and was in anticipation
of getting paid. They sent me a ridiculous email back saying that I was in collusion and also accused me of softplay. I earned every win in those sit n' go's and to be accused of something I didn't do is ridiculous. It seems like a cop-out by Noble to use this as an excuse not to pay. I won all 6 games fair and square, and have been getting the run around for 8 days now. I keep calling, and they keep saying to check back in 24-48 hrs. What can I do? I don't know how many people have won this jackpot before me, but I wonder if they were paid. I also had to post up $57 for each tournament and all my account money plus winnings have been frozen in my account for no reason. I'm fed up with calling them, and I need the expertise of casinomeister mods to help me recover my winnings.
Hope someone gets back to me on this.
Thanking you
Yours truly

Provided you've done anything correctly and none of these accusations of NoblePoker stands, this attitude on behalf of Noble Poker is simply outrageous.

By the way, what does "Softplay" mean?

I wish I could be of assistance , but I guess that's CasinoMeister job.

Good luck

Pitch a bitch to Bryan, the casinomeister. Either him or spearmaster(who normally handles playtech complaints) will deal with this.

[spearmaster]

I don't generally handle Playtech complaints. My best suggestion would be to Pitch-a-Bitch when it reopens. Only if I have a good contact at an operation can I generally be of assistance, and Noble Poker is not one of these operations.

From the site "soft play" is defined as below:

Any player found to be “soft playing” in order to allow another player to win during the course of a Sit ‘N' Go tournament will have his account frozen.

Hence if the player made any mention of his wins during later games, with his chat, they would probably be DQ, since this could cause others to soft play.

So isaacm, if you were chatting probably the source of such DQ?

More to the story?

6 straight SNG wins is a fantastic feat at the $50 level in my opinion.

Rather than mess with this I would suggest you enter the WSOP.
I think for someone with your talent a sponsorship would be had.

$100k!!!!!!!!! That is alot of dough. Hopefully some of the poker affiliates know Noble Poker and can intercede on your behalf. If you are being truthful then this is total robbery and everyone in the industry needs to be made aware of it right away.

Sounds like some of the tricks their casino counterparts try all the time.

Good luck on getting your money (if you are being truthful) and if i were you i would post about this everywhere you can.

Now that sucks, you should get paid. Unless they have proof they cant accuse you of softplay. Now if your Ips are somehow linked, or the people you played with all live in the same city, then you wont get paid.
But thats a given....
I doubt many people are affiliated with noble because they are in the group with clubdice, joyland etc.....
I am sure Brian will have to work the magic on this one. And yes, you should join the WSOP.....

IMO, if a player wins fair and square, pay them....If not, please get the heck out of the business!!!!!!

Isaac, post your hand histories, please. If you were colluding, the evidence is there.
