How a Crapshoot Site can Make you Tilt

Sorry I haven't got to post very much for a while, but this has been bugging me the past 5 days.
So I figured I'd post it. I've also emailed TP to see if they wanted to reply to this.

I've played at some of the freerolls at Tropical Poker and got a bankroll up to $3.75.
Nothing big but they have .50 sitngo's that are fairy easy until this happened me.

The site software crashed, several times, signed me for sit n go's I didn't even register for.
By the time I could get logged back in my stacks were at 120, 240, and couple of others.
Not impossible to come out of, however very difficult. What the heck I didn't even sign up for these!

Anyways, 3 sit n go' s in a row I caught AA went all in every time and the villan had A rag.
Rag hit trips every time. - I'm still not mad yet.

I did email support telling them the software kept crashing.
That I got signed for sng's, that I didn't even sign up for. And if I could have a refund.

Email back...

Ok so they're having some server problems no biggie.
Even though I didn't ask about the freerolls.
So I emailed them a little later telling them what happened again.

Their reply,

Two days later I email them again, asking how this investigation is going.
Should not be very difficult with only a couple hundred people on the site.
No reply...A day later again I emailed them with no answer.
Now I'm just being ignored. It is only 3 bucks


5th day nothing, So JP those server issues you've been having for a little while.
That's BS, try since your beta test period. As for your closing saying,
" Wish you were here"- No you don't. Your customer service sucks.

thats why i avoid all small poker sites

I wouldn't ever deposit on here, but to make a little off the freerolls. Then build it from there I wouldn't have minded doing.

Actually, anyone thinking about this site...The only way you can deposit is a money transfer. The only way to cash out is by check-it takes 5 long weeks.

I used to play on tropical poker free sng's and tourneys all the time. I got up to $20 and cashed out. Waited a few days and received nothing in my account - I dont remember what way I used to cashout, but it was through a third party such as neteller(yes I know Neteller doesnt allow US, but the one I signed up for did). I waited and waited and received no money. So....I started emailing trying to figure out where it went, and TP said they sent it. I emailed the third party and they said they never received anything. I went back and forth trying to figure out where this money went. I finally got sick and tired of back and forth emailing and just gave up on the $20. I look back at the site a few weeks later, and they raised the amount of money to cashout to $50 or so (I dont remember exact amount because it was months ago). I also just now tried to login with my account info and get this error message:
Sorry but we are unable to process your request at this time.
I also tried to retrieve password and username through the email "forgot username / password". I entered my email and it says there is no record of that email address.

DO NOT PLAY @ TP

How come they wouldn't let you cash out? Did you have to make a prior deposit? Or they just would not answer your request?

They told me that they couldnt send me a check and I had to use neteller or firepay, neither of which work for US customers. I had sent them an email before I even played there and they said that they would have a check sending process in a couple weeks. 2 months later, they still will not send me a check and I ended up just donking off the 100 on a 1/2 NL table.
