If you're going to play MicroGaming, don't play at Purple Lounge

They just cheated me out of $180. They kept sending me emails encouraging me to play their site, which I did. Got the $17 that I had sitting in the account up to $180 by playing $20 NL 6max and tried to cash out some of it. They then told me that since I was a US based player, I had earned the money "dishonestly" and that they were going to confiscate it..!!??

They were the ones who sent emails to a US address to get me to play at their sad little site in the first place....

IS that for all US states? I dont play microgaming but I know some of their sites allow US players,,, that does suck though.

Yes...all states. Which is fine, if they're above board about it. But when they solicit you to play on their site without 1st ascertaining that you are in their allowable jurisdiction, and then take your winnings....well f'em.

Besides which, the felt colour gave me a headache.
