[Closed] robbed by Check n Raise poker and Redkings

[maxd]

Thanks for posting Brandon, sorry to hear that the problem 'ducked had is beyond your reach. Next step is to try and get CnR to step up to the plate ... hmm, fingers crossed.

So CNR is now Chan Poker? Your site bought the assets but not the liabilities? They were a mess with a trail of bounced checks and broken promises.

what exactly are you saying here? (chan poker) has my account been migrated with the rest to chan poker or not? also guys i have 2 other accounts 1 with redkings and 1 with prime poker my usernames on there are redkings (ivorbiggunm8) and and prima poker (valeuci) when all this happened all 3 of my accounts go suspended and i still have not got any of them back. if you look on sharkscope you will see that i played about 4 sngs between these sites befre i was falsely accused of cheating. i have emailed redkings about 20 times over the last 6 months and just dont get a response from them, so if anyone can help me i would be very grateful.i am very new to this and am not really good with a computer so can i just come on here and see what is going on regarding this?thanks to all who have helpes me so far cheers

ok i have just tried to log into chan poker using my check n raise username but it says that my username or password is wrong so i tried my username saying i had forgotten my password and it said that the username and or email address was not found on you records good 1 that. so i take it that my money has been stolen from these people and that my account has just been swallowed up by these people and they are no longer about to face the music,i had about 4k in this account $1500 i put in and about $2500 that i had won.what an absolute liberty i can not believe that people can open up websites and treat people in this fashion and just get away with..........well.............robbery...come on guys even dick turpin wore a mask.

At least wait for the rep to clear up what is going on with CNR accounts. Did you ever PM the Prima rep? Sometimes MG closes accounts and it is beyond the control of the skins.

sorry about the last post when i tried to log in last night it just brought back all the frustrations of the past months and i lost my rag again . sorry guys i will be patient and wait to hear from you thanks

Good on ya for saying so, but it is a frustrating situation to be in. Everyone points the finger at the other guy and nothing gets done. Perhaps being a little more specific in the thread title will help a little ... fwiw, done.

Not being into online poker myself, all the stories like this just scare me off. Even rogue casinos usually return the deposit, but there seem to be so many of these poker skins that take everything and run, and then the players' accounts reappear under a different name, but sometimes not their money.
Prima is run by Microgaming, and when CASINOS go bust owing money, the players are covered, but this seems not to extend to the Prima poker skins. I have seen many complaints about Prima, and it seems the players have no-one to go to "officially", but have to take their fight to the forums and outside parties that help with player complaints.
How can the industry convince a non-poker player like myself to try it out, and that my money is safe, whatever happens to the individual skins.
From my point of view, it seems Prima is nearer the rogues than the reputable when it comes to poker, but it is the complete opposite with the Microgaming casinos.
I would certainly be interested in how this turns out, and who really screwed who, and whether it was properly handled by the industry, or was indeed a case of a poker skin selling it's player lists on, but ditching it's liabilities to those same players.

No response to this?

Also to the above post I agree that there are plenty of Prima skins that have had problems. Also the network doesn't seem to have a way to go to them when they lock your account. I've never thought very highly of that network. I'm in a banned state now so it doesn't matter.

You are saying you have multiple nick names at microgaming poker network? Or is this mg (prima) poker network. They only allow one nickname and if they discover multiple they lock your accounts in a heartbeat. Happened to me back in the day, and it took about 2 months to get other nickname disabled and the other opened again....
