What's up with Spades Lounge?

Does anyone know what's up with Spades Lounge?

They went offline for a few hours. I go to play there the next day and all the money games and tournaments are gone. They only have play money games. I'm trying to clear a bonus and I have over $300 rapped up there.

They didn't bother to email or leave a message on their site. Does anyone else play there that might know what's going on??

I don't actually 'know' what is going on but they are in the early stages of beta testing the software so there is bound to be issues along the way.
I was one of the first few to test it out and I can tell you - it has come a long way since the start.
Be patient - they will get back up as soon as they can and you'll be able to clear that bonus in no time

I agree, it has come a long way since the early beta testing, but I have noticed lately there are falling back into their old ways again....They had improved drastically but yesterday went i went in..there were no freerolls listed or any games to play.....

I haven't been to Spades Lounge in over 2 months, I just don't like it, never did. Many private groups I belong to host freerolls there but I don't even waste my time registering for them. That site aggravates me! LOL

I have won a little under 200 in freerolls since it started . I had know idea due to I havent played there in about a week. Seeing they had no withdraw requirement I should have took it off long ago....Probably would have never paid it anyway... Oh well very weak site anyway thats the chance your take. STICK A FORK IN EM they're done...lol

I'm just afraid they are not going to pay me my money. I can't get any kind of response from them. I think they might be a scam.

I don't think they are a scam - it's just that they didn't realize the amount of work involved in getting a cardroom up and running successfully.
I have been playing in the freerolls and have managed to withdraw money on 2 occasions without any problems.

Sorry to follow myself but I did just notice they are going live tomorrow.
Perhaps the lack of games is related to this - not sure.
When they do - the main site still says they are going to be having $3000 freerolls with a $10,000 at the end for the top 10 from each one.
I am kind of looking forward to this as the site is just riddled with fish and muppets...
Should be a good time for a little while.
Hope to see you there.
I play under the screen name JB1954 so I'll be easy to spot
Best to all,
JB

Well the 1st came and went and they didn't open. I talked to live support on the 31st and it was communicated to me that they would open on the 1st. We will see about today.
This happens with them in May as well. They were moving to another stage and were about a week behind schedule. I am guessing with going live it could happen again this time.
