I wish to be helpful instead of complaining, so keep the thought in mind - if we expect to play on-line POKER or the Casino or other betting options - I think we should be protected against server outages and dis-ruption of play in real games and maybe in freerolls. Y'all all must be experiencing this fault?

I lot a $3 SnG recently, because the server dis-connected me and I could not get back in to complete the game. Also, today and many times during this week, the Server dis-connect from a game and takes time to re-connect. Usually by the time back-on-line the game has advanced - means I lose - lol.

Just General Experience with the sites I play.

Have a great day.

Sippy :)

Recently poker stars cancelled an cc frc game just after it started.
They sent an email stating that their policy in this case is to pay out the prize money to all remaining players, via a formula depending the stack size.
This sounds like a good policy.

I am waiting for some nice, loving, Canadian family to adopt me so I can move out of the USA. So if any one from canada wants a 60+ child-man to raise, PM me now! :D

Sorry not interested, but I noticed success very often depends on the bankroll of the older partner

LOL. I wasn't interested in marrying or anything like that. I just want to be adopted. And for the record, I am potty trained. But somewhere down the line I may need allowance money for a box of Depends. :D

As I expect we all know, if there is a server outage. due to the site server failing for whatever reason, they always return your investment, or it is returned via their site policy.

If you have a personal outage for whatever reason, then it is down to you or your internet provider, if it their fault.

This is the same for all the poker-sites I have ever belonged to. I guess if you are experiencing all these "outages" then you should invest in some better hardware, software or internet provider.

Good luck

I know this problem mostly from iPoker network. And I really hate this. The whole table is always disappearing and coming back after some time again.

Usually it not happens at PS. Well, recently it was like mentioned before and I was freerolling one of their tickets about this football promo. They did not give me back one ticket again. :mad:

Oh yeah, let me be your sister then. :D

Hmmm. Everybody is always talking about money, I never thought about tickets. Gets me to wondering what or if there is a policy regarding them. Gonna have to ponder that one.

Oh yeah, let me be your sister then. :D

Sure, I'll be your adoptive-brother. We can do some coding together too! ;)

Hi Larry,
Your reasoning is misguided in this situation; let me give you a simple example.
Let’s say you purchased super bowl tickets, and on game day as you were driving to the game your car broke down, now you are forced to wait on a tow truck to arrive and take you to a near-by garage to repair the car, which took, let’s say one hour.
Now you have your car fixed and proceed onto the game, but three quarters have been already played.
Now, do you really think that you are entitled for a partial or full refund? ……………ABSOLUTELY NOT.
This example is exactly the same as your poker issues, no online poker site should ever be responsible for someone’s ISP’s servers going down.
The only time that a refund is warranted, is when the online pokers servers go down and all the players have been affected.
