I will include the email I sent to Boss Media as it explains the situation:
To Boss Media,
I opened an account at Imperial Poker which uses Boss Media software and is part of that network. A friend of mine got an email from them, downloaded the software, told me that the games were great and that they had high limit tables though the highest anyone was playing at the time was $10-$20. He bought in for the daily maximum of $500 and started to play $10-$20 there and I did a little later and also sat at the same table to play as it was the highest limit table going. I played for a couple hours maybe and was up about $500 leaving me with an account balance of approximately $1,000. I sat out of the table and was picked up for missing too many hands. I was then later disconnected and when I tried to log back in, I got a message that my account was locked and to contact WebDollar for further information. Since I couldn't log in, my friend who told me about the site, asked on live support why my account was locked. They couldn't tell him and later they also locked his account. I believe he had kept playing some after I was locked out and before he was and lost about $100 total leaving him with an account balance of $400.
I called Webdollar who eventually transferred me to Pokerresponse who does the support for Imperial Poker. I still haven't gotten an email response from them after many emails but they finally told me over the phone after numerous phone calls that my account is being closed for collusion. They said they can't give me any details on this and they won't even send me the hand histories for the hands that I played. I have played poker online for almost 5 years now and have never been accused of collusion on any site. I have been a professional player for the last 4 years and play enough that I undoubtedly pay 6 figures a year in rake and in all that play I have never colluded or been accused of collusion.
I know Boss Media has a good reputation in the online casino world. It would be a shame if rogue poker room operators tarnished your image in your venture into online poker. Any assistance that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
X
The other player in question is the famous online poker playing cat. People will remember him as URMeowed at Paradise back in the day and anyone with a cat name that meows in chat at the table in mid to high limit online poker games is probably the same player. Im posting this as FuzzyWuzzy as that is the name I set up here back when I created my Casinomeister account and that is my Party Poker name. I initially played at Paradise Poker on the account Michigan21 when I first started playing poker in 2000. My next main account was Pokerfun at Truepoker where I would play one game (were only allowed to play one game there back then) and play a second at Paradise. After that, I played for quite a while on FuzzyWuzzy at Party Poker. While I have accounts at all the major sites my main account since then has been BBBB where I can be found playing and winning in some of the biggest games in online poker. Anyone who has played a decent amount with me knows that I am a big winning player and that I do not collude including one of the people on Sklanskys 10 smartest poker players list.
My account was actually locked long before URMeoweds and his was only later locked after he asked why mine was in live chat. So it looks like they saw 2 people deposit $500 (the daily maximum allowed) onto the site and play at the same table, then found out we knew each other when he asked about my account being locked on live support, and negligently decided we were probably colluding at the table or fraudulently decided it was an excuse to steal our money. I almost forgot that we both had the word donk in our names there which was apparently part of our grand collusion scheme. They will not send me any hand histories for the hands that I played which would prove there was no collusion between me and URMeowed or any other player.
As this is not a lot of money, I am aware that this post is probably negative EV as I have to give out my account names to give it credibility. Also, based on the Pokerhost thread earlier, there will probably be a small contingent that will assume I colluded since the site said so and this has never happened to them. It has never happened to me in 5 years of online poker either. But negative EV or not, I will not allow a site to just steal money from me with no repercussions.
Based on my conversation with someone at Boss Media, it appears they farmed out customer support and possibly all poker operations to Pokerresponse. They do not even have a website and they dont have a toll free number to contact them for anyone not from the UK. If they are making all poker decisions, then I suspect all skins on this network should be avoided. If the phrase travis.bosscasinos.com is part of the application when you download the software, it is part of this network. If you google Pokerresponse, you will get a decent number of these sites.
