Hi all,
I was going to post this as a reply but I thought it might be worth starting a new thread for it as there could be quite a lot of comments regarding this.
I'm not sure why some poker rooms ban american players and yet play in dollars, one mentioned in another thread was everest poker.
This to me would be a little like an englishman going to his local paper shop to buy his paper only to be told they only accept dollars and his paper would be 75c ????? That don't make no sense.
If your not going to accept american players why play in american dollars? Does this touch on illegal matters like money laundering etc...I see no logical explanation for it.
Another matter :
I believe it would pay everyone to actually read the terms and conditions as well as the FAQ sections on poker room sites, I was reading these sections at earthpoker today ( yes I recommended these in another thread ) and I thought this part was well unusual to say the least.
It stated that no more than $25,000 is allowed to be won in any one week. Excuse me???? That's not all, it went on to say if you did win a large amount like say $20,000 you couldn't cash it out all at once but you would have to cash out $2,000 per week until your money was paid to you in full. WHAT????? You know what I couldn't find?? A cap on how much you could lose in a week, what a surprise.
Ok so if your lucky enough to win $30,000 here you lose $5,000 straight away, no worries you can still cash out $25,000 but it's going to take you 13 weeks to get it. I don't think so matey, if I won $25,000 i'd be on the next plane to wherever you are to collect my dosh. Alternatively I just won't play here, or at least where I stand a chance of winning this vast amount of money. Any comments ????? I'm sure there will be
Good luck at the tables
