With Tech Support like this ... Who needs it? (Titan Poker)

[sojumaster]

OMG, I really wish I knew what the requirements to be tech support for Titan Poker is. Here is a blow by blow account of the Email Support I have recieved from them in attempting to set up an account. (BTW, the only reason I have kept this up is because of morbid curiousity)

Subject: Problems creating an account

I am currently stationed in South Korea (I am an US Soldier) and i was trying to sign for an account on Titan Poker.

Unfortunately (due to some local scandals) the casinotropez.com site (where the sign-ups are re-directed) is blocked as an illegal gambling site.

I am still able to execute the titan poker client and see the table summaries. So I know I can still play.

Is there anyway I can get an account by any other means? If I get an account from any other means, how would I be able to deposit money in to my account? (I should have been clearer here, and asked if it will effect money deposits or not)

Thanks

Stephen Schroeder

HUH?? This response is so far of the mark, I almost suspect that they have a computer program with some bad A.I. answering initial Emails

"Unfortunately (due to some local scandals) the casinotropez.com site (where the sign-ups are re-directed) is blocked as an illegal gambling site."

like I said before ... unfortunately the site that you are re-directed to create an account, is BLOCKED here in korea.

The Included attachements:

Screen shots showing that I am unable to sign-up, and the beak down to where it shows the website is blocked by the Korean government.

Did they even bother to look at my attachments? Obviously No. Now I am convinced there is only computers answering their Emails.

Maybe I can make this a little bit clearer .....

Subject: Re: Message from Titan Poker [#1537720]

Let me break this down even further ......

When I use the SetupPoker.exe to install Titan Poker, I am able to connect to your server. Everything is good right there ...

When I click on "setup an account" the program redirects to CasinoTropez.com, where the sign up application is hosted.

Due to some scandels that have been occurring lately in South Korea the Korean Government has blocked CasinoTropez.com. (I know you have no restrictions on who logs in), hence i can not sign up for an account directly through your software. I have included screenshots in my previous Email showing this.

I am on a United States Military Post, making where I am residing a US territory, hence I am not subject to the Korean Laws; unfortunately they supply the Internet services to me, so I am still subject to this blockage.

I have been asking if there is another way to set up an account? Maybe ask me the questions here, and I will then give you the answers?

Dear Stephen,

Thank you for contacting Titan Poker.

Hello Stephen! This is Gina once again of the Support Team happy to assist you.

Yes, Stephen, we have received the screenshots you have previously sent and we appreciate it. However, we need additional clearer screen shots of the exact pop-up window and error you are getting. Please try to create an account again and once you get the error, please follow these steps:

I sent them screen shots before but you want clearer ones ???? I guess I should take REAL screen shots this time, maybe I should also capture it in a movie also

1. Press the “Print Screen”(Print Screen) button near the top right of your keyboard, above the “Insert” key.
2. Open a new Microsoft Word document and press “CTRL” and the letter “V” simultaneously; the image now appears in the word document.
3. You should then save the word document to a location on your PC, and send it to us as an attachment with another email.

Once we receive the screen shot, we will promptly investigate and give you applicable recommendations to resolve the issue that you are experiencing.

We really appreciate your cooperation and interest in Titan Poker. Trust that we are going to assist you in every step until the issue you are having is resolved.

We'd like to see you in the tables soon!

As per your request, here is the screenshots, eventually breaking down to the point when it shows that your sign-up page is on a website that is blocked by the Korean Government.

Again, I request for an alternate means of signing up.

Dear Stephen,

Thank you for contacting Titan Poker.

Greetings!

This is Dion from the Support Team.

Our technical team has analyzed your problem, one of the probable reason why you cannot create an account is due to the South Korea Government Policy.

ROFL LOL ROFL LOL ROFL, And we JUST figured this out. These guys are a complete trip. We just figured that it might be being blocked, but lets try this gibberish techniques listed below:

It could also be that you have not yet updated the Internet Explorer 6 version. We also saw that you have a Spybot S&D installed to your computer, we suggest you to disable this application. The best solution is to uninstall Spybot and try if you can enter to the cashier, if this solution works, you should reinstall Spybot and check if the Titan Poker site is not in Spybot blacklist.
We hope this clarifies your concern.

Have a good day Stephen,

That is the reason.

I am running the latest version.

>> We also saw that you have a Spybot S&D installed to your computer,
>> we suggest you to disable this application.

Did what you suggested, still the same result.
In fact I went to 3 other computers at different locations, and still the same result.

Again, please give me another alternate means of signing in.

Here is a suggestion, Email me the application, and I will email it back.
