I have recently been banned from party poker and my funds have been taken away as a result. I have emailed them several times with no success. I dont't think it's fair when sites like Party Poker and Cake ban people from their sites when they start to get financial upswings. I have been a losing recreational players for several years and starting taking poker seriously by training alot and jumping up in stakes from micro NL to 1/2 and 2/4 NL. I win a couple of grand over the weekend and decide to cash out $600 and get locked out and they say I am being investigated. As a result, I am banned from Party poker and all my money is seized as a result for being too good too fast. Are online poker sites like casinos where you get a winning streak after losing for years and then banned? I also don't think it's fair that Cardchat and other sites promote these poker rooms that have massive thread complaints like these. As a result, I am screwed!

Post the emails that they sent you. I'm sure that they gave a different reason for banning you other than that you " got to good to fast". I doubt that you are giving the whole story here. Also, it seems odd that you were "a losing recreational player for years" and now you can suddenly beat mid stakes. I'm not saying its impossible but it sounds odd.

Do post the emails though (obviously edit out personal details as appropriate) or you won't find any help/advice here. Sites don't ban players for winning legitimately.

If all of the facts are here as you say, when they are done investigating, they will unfreeze your account. Something has set off a red flag.
As long as you have not been colluding with anyone else, or have any other accounts, you should be fine.
Good luck

I concur.

Out of curiosity I just took a look at OP's posting history. Lots of super low buy in tourney's mentioned and not much useful strat or anything. That isn't bad but it isn't the posting history of someone suddenly crushing 2/4 NL cash.

For example here is OP's last post prior to starting this thread.

[old link~tb]

Lots of similar stuff earlier. Nothing wrong with any of it but most people who beat mid stakes don't get hot and bothered over freerolls and finding the odd 5 dollars in their accounts.

Also, I took the liberty of checking your PTR for the screennames you give in your account and nothing there would indicate that you could suddenly beat 2/4. .01/.02 is about break even for you on stars. I'm not trying to be an ass ( it comes naturally) but your story doesn't add up at all.

I hope I'm wrong and you can prove your point and give me hell but I'm not betting on it.

There are no massive reports like these - they are very rare. So leave Cardschat out of your issue please.

Your account has not been frozen because you all of a sudden starting winning - that is so ridiculous. As Pooffy said - there is a red flag somewhere. If you have done nothing wrong then your account will be unfrozen. But they have every right to investigate - and you should be glad that they take measures like this to protect other players and themselves.

ok. check my party screenname turbolover11 and the sudden upswing caused a red flag. I have been a winning live 1-2, 2-4, 5-10 players for years and now am playing online seriously since I don't have a job anymore. I was never accused of cheating, just it's not in party's interests and player's to have my business anymore. You gotta understand these sites reserve the right to not accept your play anytime they feel like. Watch out for the dreaded error code 9001. I'm no the only one.

It is not in their best interest for you to generate rake???? You don't win their money - you win money from other players. How is you winning costing them anything?

lolololol

I agree that you had the upswing. Post the email exchange that you have had with Party. They did not ban you for winning. For one thing they are a publicly held company and would actually get in serious trouble for fraud.

Also, LOL at beating low stakes live being equal to beating 1/2 2/4 online. Those stakes live are equal to the micros online in terms of quality of play.

I think you scammed and got caught but of course you could post the emails and prove me wrong.

I await my public humiliation. :rolleyes:

^^^This.
The red flag was not caused by your winning, it was triggered by the cash out.
Relax, if you are not hiding anything, they will release the funds, trust us, we have seen this before.

ok. I'm not a computer whiz, so ill try to post the emails. With respect Dakota, my theory is party makes more money from their casino on betting and are protecting their poker games because alot of the poker players on party are casino and sports bettors. Their online games are very, very soft and has to be for one reason, protecting their casino, sports wagering clients. I have never had a problem on poker only sites like this. Like I said, The grounds for my ban and seizure are "protecting their player's interests", since I only play poker and never made a sports wager or casino bet despite the infinate amount of soilicitationa and offers from party poker. I think cardschat is the best forum because their community members are very good and objectionable. I'll try to post it. I can now see why regulation would be good. I have no recourse with party. I would be happy if they just returned my money. I will only do my poker on one site only from now on. I gonna deposit $1000 and run it up with no problems since I am playing fulltime. In the meantime all I can do is cry and be helpless like a child. I wish no one has the experience.

Poker Sites are a business and honestly could care less if you win or loose, as long as you are creating Rake.

You were not "banned" because of your playing skills, I'm almost certain of that. In fact you were not "banned" you are simply under investigation for attempting to withdraw funds. Obviously something triggered the investigation and if you haven't multi accounted, entered fraudulent information, colluded or violated other terms of agreement you shouldn't have an issue.

No Fear if everything is on the up and up.

All of this is true.

It just happened this morning - chill. They are only doing what they need to be doing - you have nothing to worry about if you have done nothing wrong. No need for such a huge panic attack - or for making accusations about the site.

Your logic is still not logical. The sports betting side has nothing to do with the poker side. They are in this to be profitable at both. And at the poker site they make money from the rake you and others pay. If you are legit they will unblock your account as soon as they determine that.

I doubt the OP has an IQ over 100 going from his posts. A player suddenly goes form micros to 2/4NL and then tries to withdraw a sizeable amount and you don't understand where the red flag has come from? You still haven't put the e-mail in either. You dont have to be a computer wiz to know how to copy and paste. I wouldn't be surprised if it came out that you had done something that was against the TOS. I've seen posts like this on various forums that quite often result in it coming out that the OP has done something that is banned.

Look I have no clue what your really trying to imply at all. Party doesn't gain nothing by keeping money that is owed to you (Cuz they're a business), and as such (businesses often do), Checks when certain things arouse suspicion.

Now am I saying you did this (We don't know), all we know is that you were asked for an Email 3 times (Haven't posted it yet, yet we are supposed to go by your word that Party poker, just stole your money for the simple fact cuz your winning too much:confused: ).

1 more thing all you must do to get that email and post it on here is just Grab your mouse go to your email address and Copy that entire email and post it on here. Also Plz do not talk negative about this forum by stating w/e it was that you stated in you O.P about Cards Chat because Cards Chat doesn't send it's players to get ripped off, nor does it rip us off (But looks for the best deals for it's players to benefit from)

Well said, but the bullies pop up everywhere and usually don't last around here. I am the exception. :)

I think cardschat is the best forum because their community members are very good and objectionable.

I resemble that

Yea verily I concureth hither. :D

That`s not the case. Party is about as regulated as they come. It`s a public limited company, traded on the London Stock Exchange and licensed in Gibraltar.
