True Poker

I came across Truepoker.com other day. I searched CC for info which came back blank but if I've missed it and you already know, forgive me.
First off, I'm not attached in anyway apart from being a member.
The graphics are nothing to write home about and the avatars are basically poor, but you don't need to deposit and they accept US. players. What they do offer is a no catch, 4 tickets to a 10 seats one winner sit and go with a $10 prize. Plus the competition is a bit pony as well?
I won the first, second in second, "All guns blazing" big tilt in third and another first in last one.

So if your bankroll is low and you have a few hours? nothing to lose, try it.
I'm not even touting the refer a friend. Or should I?

Good luck.

Sounds very unfortunate. Hmm.. 'True Poker'.. can't say I've heard of it before.
Incidentally, most sites will allow two computers/people to play on the same site at the same time (usually best to let them know in advance as you did here at TruePoker). They won't allow you to play in the same 9plyr. SNG or on the same cashtable but everything else is pretty much a go.

Lets see what Shiver encounters. Shiver. please keep us posted here to your experience. And to Rich, sorry to hear that. That is a bad deal. Are you certain that nothing happened - i.e you both in a game together - that they could interpret as fishy? And if you would, please post other links from your research so all the info is available.

BTW, you could make the Font on your site bigger, would make it easier to read (for old bad-eyed guys like me)

Whats your SN there? If I try it I can use you as my referral.

Why would you try out a site like this? (when guy is clearly posting how bad it is) lol. If he made his FONT bigger... would you then consider 'not' trying out the site? lol

I was looking at some sites on PokerScout tonight (actually after reading this thread... to see if i could find this site on there... & I could 'not').. and was just amazed at some of the pokersites that run off of some of the networks. There are over 70 sites on some networks & only ~200 players playing on the entire network, (one with zero players playing lol )(that would mean that some of those 'sites' sure don't have many players lol).

yea good point. I was thinking more about Shivers comment that you dont need to deposit to build an easy BR, but on second thought, if you cant get it, what good will that do?

We never logged in at the same time, we only used one computer so it wasn't even possible, to answer your question no we never did anything fishy and we never had any problems on the other sites having two accounts. We were real careful to follow the rules and not doing anything that could be interpreted as trying to collude or beat the system. I'm still steaming mad about the situation, and I'm hoping that my post on different sites and creating a website against them will be enough to hurt true poker out of the money they stole.

i have money there and play so you 2 played from same computer well that is just stupid

??????? Most sites allow family members to play, and it will mainly be from the same computer. If you read his link you would be able to make an informed opinion. He wrote that he informed the site of multiple family members playing, and this is normal.

True Poker is on the Yatahay network and it is listed on Pokerscout (just checked).

I've played there off and on, as well as a number of my friends, without issues. I'm sorry to hear about your issues there rj, especially considering you e-mailed them to explain.

The player pool is pretty small, but fishy, and they've being investing quite a bit in the site recently (just upgraded the software and their website), as well as running a number of decent promotions. Their network is really old (started around 2001), and for the longest time only hosted a pretty ugly 3D software enviroment - that last update introduced 2D tables similar to most other sites.

I'm pretty sure that 4 SNG deal is only for the first month after you sign up, so make sure you play them right away.

Or stay away. To each his own.

Fact, customer opened an account and deposited using his brother’s CC and refusing to send proper documents

You can judge for yourselves.

Thank you

Don't play at a poker site that you never heard about. Simple as that

Some of this is true, but they want to twist to look like they didn't do anything wrong, and I'm actually spending all this time on it when they claim we are the ones in the wrong. Yes I used my brothers credit card one time for $25 and the rest were western union at $100 a time. I never faxed in the credit card information, but offered for them to take whatever I charged out of my winnings so they wouldn’t have to worry about a charge back and I wouldn’t have to worry about his credit card information flying around the web. However we did not open multiple accounts like they claim, there were two accounts that they were aware of them and didn't make a problem out of it till we won. They did claim at the time that we were reported by other gaming sites, which they refused to validate and doesn't make any sense, as we play at other sites now without issue. Lastly, they are 100% correct that in the last time we talked, I informed them that I would make sure the poker community is informed about them cheating us if they refused to pay what they owed.

FACT: it is just not worth even giving these guys a chance when there are plenty of awesome legit sites to play on, that actually do payouts without a bunch of excuses.

i do know dsi and bookmakers are sister sites of true and they are two of the most reputable sportsbooks in the business

To me, when any corporation or members there-of, join a site and purposely try to dispute claims by a member of said site, shows me a huge lack of professionalism.

All of this should be handled in private with the customer, a corportion using media means such as this forum to try and silence ONE PERSON means they are truly afraid of what that person is saying.

Example: Full Tilt gets accosted everyday by tons of different claims (hell just check out the rigged mega thread) Yet you never see a personal response directed at an individual by FTP adminstration on this site.

Now that I've seen such actions taken by the site, I am far more inclined to believe the disgruntled member and will not have anything to do with Truepoker

So even though the poster admits to making mistakes and knows about having 2 accounts...you still thats Ok... I'm behind the Poker site on this one.

I wish more reps of Poker sites would come on to Poker Forums

vague lame answer by pokersite imo.
I'll never play on there.
tks for the HeadsUp warning.

dont circumvent rules or procedures when risking cash, dont give anyone or anysite any outs.

How would True Poker know that he was using muti accounts,an it's not his wife playing and him.Me and my wife have accounts on full tilt and stars.If i went to withdraw my money an one of these sites accused me of muti accounting i would be hoping mad myself.
Edit : As for as the brother credit card being used it shouldn't have been able to go through in the first place.If they want to make sure your info you have entered into your account matches the cc info,because they sure as hell need to match before withdraw.

Sorry I lost track of this thread, only just caught up now.

And to be honest I've not really played much at True-poker lately. The rigged & scam theory will drag out forever. I've not seen anything here that I have not seen at other sites!

I did notice a few people from the same town but still nothing suspicious happened.

They have a limited amount of annoying avatars that can not be turned off.
Only NL players @ .5/.10 + .10/.20 6 tables right now. There are limit tables but no one plays them. I still have some of my winnings, I had a bad session one night & its been a while since I've logged on. I have noticed more playing but my odds indicator does not attach to the tables (& I have a crap memory)


I'm happy to play there at present.

As other posters stated, stick with the big sites and you will have less problems. In addition if you do shady stuff, like have multiple accounts and make deposits using other peoples credit cards don't complain when your money goes bye bye.... I'm with the poker site here. I'm so sick of people trying to cheat the system.

True poker give out 4 free tickets to sng's to have a look at their site. Maybe this is not enough for some people and they take advantage and open a few accounts. They might have suspected you rjchavet of doing it and acted on it?

FTP & PS must have started small in the beginning?

True Poker has been around for more than 10 years and used to be really popular, but after online poker started taking off they lost tons of players to other sites. They're doing anything they can marketing wise to get more players there. Anything to discredit them would really hurt what's left of their business.

I've been there for most of the time they've existed, but kind of gave up playing on that site since there's so many other players and pros at other sites. Never really had any problems with them at all.

This is the the same network that Doyles Room went to. I played True poker ten years ago and it was slow and bad then and ten years later it is about the same. Poor Doyle.

Did you use a not so great computer back then? They used to have a low res and high res version of the client. I really got used to that 3D table style they used. It made switching to a different site hard at first.

I was surprised it took them until last year (I think??) to make over their interface with filtering options and a 2D view. Considering how many people used to play there, it's a shame that a company that started so early couldn't hold on to the users because they didn't evolve with their competitors.

I have an account on Doyles room, and was moved to (Yatahay Network) where true Poker was/is the main site.

As stated other where the software looks a bit dated, you can't resieze the screens, as my computer runs in high resulution, I have have to scale it down to 1280pixle or less when I play there.

As you can see at Pokerscout the network is small which mean not too much traffic. and wait time to play SnG's (that is bad because the rake in SnG is low, so i would love to play a lot of them there) however their small guarenteed tournaments is good value and there are quite a few of them and they also have a few biggis which there run good value satellits for (you don't get tickets but get enrolled and have to play at a fixed date), however the big once are US friendly which mean eu players have to start at 3 o'clock in the morning and that a bit late for non hardcore players.

There also runs some ring games most of the time.

The support seems very fiendly and all my question has been answered right away, they seem nice and friendly.
