Poker770 has it's own forum and chat room and holds password protected tournaments for these events.
An hour before the tournament starts they give out the password in the chat room and I enter it each time to get the password and play. I can not participate in the chat though, because they only permit French to be spoken, and I don't, but I am entitled to play the tournaments because I am a member of the forum/chat room and Poker770 (I have even deposited) Last Saturday (27/9) I WON the tournament. ![]() Instead of getting $20 credited to my account, nothing happened. After sending NUMEROUS emails to support asking about this, they FINALLY replied (8 days later) with: Dear Mr. Hxxxx, We are writing in reply to your message. We inform you that on the Forum of our site the conditions that must be accomplished in order to receive your prize at $100 Forum cf-poker and Prive-tour de France are well stated: "1) Les tournois organisés par poker770 (Tour de france et 100$ cf poker uniquement) Le nombre minimum de joueur sera de 30. Les tournois ne seront plus sur liste, par contre pour toucher votre gain il faudra être présent sur le chat lors de ce tournoi et participer a la vie du chat. Les gains seront payés par le support au maximum dans les 5 jours (le temps que le support fasse les vérifications de votre présence sur le chat). Le mot de passe sera donné uniquement sur le chat pendant l’heure qui précède le tournoi" (The tournaments organised by Poker770 (Tour de france and 100$ cf poker only). The minimum number of players is 30. The tournaments will no longer be on the list, and in order to receive your prize you must be connected to chat during the tournament and participate lively at it. The prizes will be paid by the support within a maximum delay of 5 days (while the support verifies if you were connected to chat). The password will be given only on the chat, one hour before the beginning of the tournament".) Thank you for your understanding, Best regards, Allain Service Support Poker770 E-mail: support@poker770.com Numero de tel. : 01.53.01.38.74 Hotline : 08.05.10.12.75 Numero de fax gratuit:08-0074-2000 ( de l'etranger:+338-0074-2000) Numero de fax : 01.53.01.47.02 ( de l'etranger: +331.53.01.47.02 ) Numero de tel.

Belgique: (+32) 27 91 90 27 Numero de fax Belgique: (+32) 27 91 90 07 http://www.poker770.com As I already mentioned, I do not speak French, so I am not allowed to 'participate lively' in the chat room and I have looked VERY hard to find these 'terms' and I can not find them ANYWHERE on their site. In addition, this site happily recruits players from all over the world, even has special marketing and tournaments for Canadian players only, yet they suddenly come up with this way of scamming it's legitimate players. If this site was actually honest and respectable, they would have done something...at least given me the benefit of the doubt, paid my winnings and politely let me know the terms for future reference, but they haven't. Instead it's 'screw you, because you're not French' I see that this site has NO relationship with Casinomeister at all...and has quite a few complaints against it. Perhaps someone could address all the issues people are having with this site? Last edited by Roanan; 7th October 2009 at 11:00 PM. Reason: Added screen shot of win |

Follow up:
I have finally had a few email responses from Poker770 regarding this issue, but they all say the same thing: Dear M.Hxxxx, We are writing in reply to your message. As mentioned in the previous message, our conditions are well stated on the Forum of our site. In conclusion, the players have been informed that in order to receive their prize they must be connected to chat during the tournament and participate lively at it. Best regards, Berenice Service Support Poker770 E-mail: support@poker770.com Numero de tel. : 01.53.01.38.74 Hotline : 08.05.10.12.75 Numero de fax gratuit:08-0074-2000 ( de l'etranger:+338-0074-2000) Numero de fax : 01.53.01.47.02 ( de l'etranger: +331.53.01.47.02 ) Numero de tel.

Belgique: (+32) 27 91 90 27 Numero de fax Belgique: (+32) 27 91 90 07 http://www.poker770.com The forum is ENTIRELY in French only. The chat room rules state that ONLY FRENCH may be used. Poker770 actively and aggressively recruits new players from all over the world, but when it comes to making them feel welcome, it ONLY applies to French speaking people. This now tells me that this poker room is RACIST AND BIGOTED against all non-French speaking players. |

The subject you originally had for this thread was "Poker777 is running crooked private tournaments".
Nothing in the text you've posted says anything about "crooked tournaments". Your primary complaint, actually pretty much your only complaint, is that the site is French-only which you claim is "RACIST AND BIGOTED". (1) It appears to me that you selected the "crooked tournaments" heading simply because it was shocking and inflammatory. As such I've taken the liberty to change it to something more representative of the true nature of your complaint. (2) It is not "RACIST AND BIGOTED" to offer services only in the language of site operator's choice. Try going to some Russian site and demand that they speak in English for your benefit. Or better yet invite some Swahili person to start posting in Swahili on an English-only site and see how warm their reception is, especially if they are irritable and prone to calling people there racists and bigots. Not! Furthermore this is an English-only site. If you started posting in a foreign language we'd ask you to respect the site and post in English. Find another site if the one you happen to have parked your bottom on is not providing services in the language of your choice. Or learn French.

Found this is their terms and conditions:
http://www.poker770.com/en/index.php...d-conditions-2 15. Governing law / jurisdiction 15.1 This contract, its interpretation and its execution, as well as all other legal relations between the parties to this contract, should be regulated and interpreted according to the laws of England. 15.2 In case of complaint or dispute, the English version of this contract shall prevail against any other Poker770 version that we may have previously emitted. If you wish to be regularly in possession of the updated English version of our terms and conditions, please contact our customer service. 15.3 16.Any complaint or dispute, direct or indirect, arising from this contract shall be pursued in a Court of Law competent in England.

The sites' own T&C's state that English is boss. PS: Found this in the T&C's too. This should scare the hell out of anyone: 4.
