Hi guys I don't know if you've heard of this situation before but it's regarding self-exclusion or exclusion by the site. 11 months ago my family experience the horrible issue I don't want to get into it but we lost my mother in August hasn't even been here yet. I didn't know how to handle it so I went on a couple sites and I don't know what I was trying to accomplish but I just wanted a lot of money so I could run away or something I'm 50 years old so I should know better but I just was not prepared to lose my mom she's my mom forever she was supposed to live another 15 years.

Anyway I explained this to both Party Poker and 888 I've been a member of 888 poker for 25 years never had an issues before but they seem to have excluded me for life! Guys I appreciate all your help Robert Barwick

They give lifetime bans for very good reasons. I suggest you enjoy poker on sites that offer social gaming. Here is a great one:

Playing with fun money is 180 degrees different than playing for cash or tournaments it just isn't the same not even comparable .

You see the thing is I'm a excellent card player I'm a mathematical prodigy. Of course I play every game of cards there is my favourite being Bridge! And I use the most complicated bidding system called The 5 CardMajor,

I think I've won maybe 14 tournaments in my lifetime and I've won several thousand dollars on 88 poker a decade ago. and I've been even doing better at poker stars. I can play with $100 on that site for months.

But yeah like I was saying but I wasn't in my right mind losing my mother and when I tried to explain that to them they didn't accept it because after all you only use your lose your mother once.

If you were excluded because of their responsible gambling policy, then I am afraid, not much can be done about it. So I suggest to simply let it go and enjoy playing on those sites, where they still allow you, like apparently PokerStars. And obviously be sure to play in a healthy manner with money, you can afford to lose, etc.

Unfortunately, I can only agree. But there is a big difference whether you let yourself be excluded or whether it came from the site. But I think in both cases it will be difficult to undo this so you should probably just tick it off and look ahead and play where you are still allowed

Why were you banned from 888 Poker? what happened?Could you explain us better? Is it possible?
I'm sorry for your mama.

There are more than 2 online poker sites. I am sure you can pick up the pieces at a new poker site. America's Cardroom, Intertops poker, comes to mind. Carbon and Sportbook are 2 more poker sites. so is BetOnline and Sportsbetting which have Cardschat freerolls.

Try it in other poker rooms, there are a lot of them now. good luck to you.

I don't understand why you are banned for life. Did you write them a message for that to happen? If so, forget about those rooms. The good thing that you have PS available, and that is the best online room in the world. Remember that you can exclude yourself for less time, but being one step lower is better. That you can withdraw your earnings normally.
Greetings.

i really dont understand that post. first you say you dont want to get into what happened but then u tell anyway. then you say something like you wanted to run away with a lot of money? sorry but whuuuut?

and why would you make advertisement for pet donations here and in the same post? this is a poker forum.

sorry fot the loss of ur mom.

You really have to be carefull when you go on tilt or if you have problems and decide to gamble more or if you are angry for some resons (many bad beats , a downswing) and you decide to try win back a l;ot of money . Most probably you will lose , be carefull with your betting decisions and behavior . Also be carefull when asking to be banned temporarilly forany case from poker , casino or whatever , do not show them that you have lost control or else they might not give you permission again toplay there , or they will make it difficult to comeback (with statements after statements that you face no gambling addiction , that you have no problem with the betting company , etc etc )

There are plenty of things that could happen that would cause me tons of grief - some already have. But it would never result in me spinning out so bad playing poker that I got a lifetime ban as a result.

Poker is a tough game with a lot of variance - not everyone is cut out to deal with that. My husband rarely plays because he hates that part of it and doesn't want to deal with it. It is something you have to be able to handle if you play it.

If you decide that you are no longer susceptible to that lack of self control there are plenty of other sites you can play at - but those 2 will never let you play again and rightfully so.

You know I've been gambling my whole life on just about anything but I'm an educated man I'm smarter than the average bear I tested in the 98th percentile I'm a mathematician by prodigy. In a casino I can kick ass on a roilette wheel and on the blackjack table.

The issue in the matter is I wanted to increase my deposits because I am rather wealthy and I misspoke as they're explaining my mother passing and they took that as admission of a gambling problem there goes a said that they would exclude me for 3 months or 6 months but as I requested to reinstate my account they continually said it's they haven't said it's like time then but that's how it's looking and they have no justification for it because if they look at my history I've won many many tournaments off of them maybe that's why they don't want me in there anymore

I dont get it, what did you do exactely? you cheated them or smth because they welcome money and are happy to have depositors that keep depositing and losing all their cash. Were u using bots or smth??

Friend just try to contact them through live support, you can also do it through social media

I red all posts but I dont understand what You have done, and there is no poker room that will ban player for nothing

If the poker rooms banned you, I don't think there is any chance to they allow you back. If you requested to be self excluded, maybe there is a small chance if you explain the situation. But like others said, there are a lot of rooms still available, so, I would forget about these 2 rooms and start to play in another room.

They haven't really said that it's a lifetime band they just said that it's not a good idea for me to be playing with them.

I think the issue was I called them on the telephone and asked them to increase my deposits, something about having a gambling problem once they hear that that's it they take it very seriously if you say there's a gambling problem and I think that slipped out and that's why they put the lifetime ban on there.... But there was no game playing problem losing my mother was the problem and they don't understand that

That is exactly the point. Both 888 and Party are regulated sites, and when a customer tell them, he has a gambling problem, they are obliged by their regulators to protect that customer, even if he later regret his statement. You cant put the spirit back in the bottle, once its out. So as many people have told you already, just accept, what happened, learn from it and enjoy playing on those sites, where they still allow you.

After reading all the thread finally I have managed to understand the reason of the ban.
Best idea is to play on other poker rooms and never call them))))

So you haven't got a lifetime ban at all?

Yes friend it's a great pity you lost your mother, but as you were banned from the game, tell us more forum members, what actually happened to get you banned from playing, which would take a poker platform to ban your players forever best regards Alfredo.

Condolences for you loss.

Having read everything here, it really isn't adding up for me.

Is English your second language?

After French perhaps?

Cardschat is a very positive, kind, helpful and understanding community.

However, we weren't born yesterday!

Why is it so important to return to those sites specifically?

When there are many more to choose from?

Every now and again people try to pull wool over cardschat's eyes (for whatever reason)- it doesn't work.

If you are the wealthy, mathematical prodigy you assert yourself to be, who can tear up roulette and blackjack tables at will, pray tell why would any of this bother you for a second?

There are innumerable other ways you can obtain money (which as a wealthy man you should not overly need anyway) and furthermore by your own admission the whole scenario back then was a blip and you realised that you don't need to spin up a fortune to run away with because you weren't quite in your right mind back then.

Now, however, you've come back to your senses from the blip though, right?

Are you on the spectrum?

You present many questions, but few answers.

If what you're saying is accurate, I suggest you take a step back from the situation and take stock of your circumstances.

Right now you can't see the wood from the trees.

Quench my queries and I'll entertain your quandaries further.

Kind Regards,

EDIT: i see you said you are rather wealthy, so half of acusations and assumptions i made are incorrect/ I am just too lazy to edit, anyway i dont understand why you spend your time on play money tables then if you think you are break even in cash games over some sample
But yeah like I was saying but I wasn't in my right mind losing my mother and when I tried to explain that to them they didn't accept it because after all you only use your lose your mother once.

Being excellent card player doesnt mean anything in poker. Math wont help you most of the time, unless you are very short. Most of the time you need to know where does your range and hand stack up against their range and know how to exploit people.

winning even 50 tournaments in 25 years is nothing, unless you exclusively play 7k+ fields.
Not trying to bring you down even more, but i dont buy your story either. Since you gambled on 2 different sites I assume it was during couple weeks or even couple months period, which would simply mean you was chasing losses.

Anyway, good luck on your journey man, wish you all the best! Sorry if it sounded rude, but story does not seem to add up to me and your "expertise"
