Craig,

Many wireless networks will share the same IP. IE mutiple users could be on the same IP with no intention. Reason that VPN may not work. I would not normally play on such a wireless.

one member of my forum was closed by party poker yesterday.
no call, no email. withdrawal was refused.

if chinese players play for bonus or lose, ok, keep playing.
if they win some real big money, no, you will be blocked.
no explanation. no evidence. they do as they want.

even worse, they never return the deposit back to the players.

some chinese players want to sue party poker but don't know how to do it.

Thank you for contacting us.

After a thorough investigation of the records especially the gaming

this player is a real good poker player.
he wins $100~$500 everyday.
his account was closed.
he played his friend's account, won and was blocked.
other friends, relatives......
all accounts were blocked one by one because he wins almost everyday.
but party poker think he makes fraudulent activities.

how much does party poker make by confiscating the funds from the blocked accounts everyday?

A poker site will never close an account because the customer wins every day buddy...

A casino, if they are a bunch of scammers, might. Remember that when you deposit at a poker network that money is not proffit for the poker site. Some other guys is going to win your money, or you are going to make money out of some one else.

Poker rooms win money from rake, which is calculated by the amount of money you generate from your deposit. So actually, if you are winning, and you are playing for a long time, that might mean you are generating a lot of rake for them. No reason to close your account.

If you have been spotted of performing collusion on their site or in one of their sister rooms that might be a reason. Or if you have charged back an account on one of their sites will me a stronger reason.

Making money at a poker site is not reason for a manager to say: DAMN, LETS CLOSE THIS GUY'S ACCOUNT. They are not making money of what you are proffititng.

Did he log into his friends & relative's house from his house? If that's the case, then I can understand 100% why those other accounts were blocked, and pretty much ensures that he'll never be able to play at PP ever again.

Wangpoker,

You mentioned that the accounts of your friend, his friends and those of other relatives were closed one by one. Were the account holders playing at the same table(s) or was it your friend who was using others' accounts to continue playing. If it was the former, they could accuse you of collusion to gain from the other players, bonus abuse if the other users had bonus funds or in an extreme case, money laundering which I doubt because of the relatively small amount involved. If he were using others' accounts to continue playing although he was chucked out, then I must say that you cannot blame the poker room to oust a banned player.

I am a Chinese myself and I dont take lightly to establishments who discriminate us. However, at present I see no evidence of that happening. Maybe you could try sending an e-mail to the address they gave you. Anybody here knows whether they really do respond?
