After talking with Pino again, I get no indication that he's making any profit off this. He hasn't taken over PurePoker; he's just trying to unwind things at FB's request and his own expense for what's not sitting in FB's escrow account for the site.Jay said:Well, when he decides to keep people's winnings (and says that he's doing it at a profit to himself), and has everyone's accounts locked for weeks without answering emails.. Is he expecting postive posts?
Anyway, why would anyone want to take over a casino that's only claim to fame is screwing its customers?
How can anyone know? There are numerous operations that seem fancy and reliable with good bonus offers that eventually rip their players off...
I've been here just watching this unfold, and all it does is piss me off.TrixSlice said:Thanks webs, that's solid advice. Wish it helped me before this, PurePoker didn't show up under any search prior to this incident, and I had no idea what Futurebet was prior to this thread. I just assumed a Poker site with thousands of players had to be funded well enough. I didn't know poker sites were networked like they are to share players.
BTW, CM I assume you are a very busy person but we havn't heard from you since Futurebet was supposed to call. You might be staying away until you know more or have found this to be a helpless matter - just curious.

Only casino for me. I don't really play poker much, and didn't play at all here.paul02085 said:What really sux about this is that the money involved is all PLAYERS money (less rake) unlike a casino where their own money is at risk. The winnings being discussed were never the poker rooms monies but other players monies.
Its is bad enough when a casino rips off players winnings because they dont have enough of their own money to pay the players.
It is really bad when a poker room rips off players because in essence the only reason they wouldnt have the money to pay off the players is they just stole it.
Theft is theft but poker room theft is even more insidious than casino theft.
