Be aware of potential online poker scams

[john victor6]

good morning friends, I discovered that there are WhatsApp groups, of people who are promoting poker clubs, that give high jackpots, easy fields, no need to have dollars and such.

But the poker rooms in question are Playmoney. So what happens, Kra sells you the chips for you to play and they promise to buy you back if you become profitable.

It's just that we're talking about fictitious tokens, Playmoney, so what happens, if you win a prize of 10,000 reais for example, who guarantees you that he will buy you that pile of your chips that he must have in droves too, what do you do then? You offer your chips to new players, that is, you pay to enter, and to leave you need to convince other people to enter too, is this a pyramid or not?

I'm just creating this post as a public utility, because a different pyramid scheme appears every day, and honestly I was very irritated to know that they are using poker for that, and if that ever goes to the news sites, the title will be “Poker players participate in a millionaire pyramid scheme”.

In other words, when you say that you are a poker player to people, they will think that you are some kind of con artist or criminal. It's going to make the poker image more dirty.

I never looked for sponsors. I only play poker for fun and despite that I have good results and my bankroll is growing. This is mainly due to our daily and weekly freerolls.

Good afternoon.I wouldn´t put in risk my money playing in those unknown poker Apps.It makes no sense.Fortunately,there are still very good poker sites where your money is safe.

I think normal people with a head will not be led to such game

Beware of those claiming not to need 'sollars' to enter lol.
You might get a freeroll on a credible club on one of the App platforms, but your main concern would be the agent you need to trust.
