I wonder if anyone else suddenly lost their balance at WPT tonight?

I received a promotional mail to play poker flips in the casino, to have a chance to win WPT packages.

So I logged into the client, and started playing $1 table, but suddenly I lost all control of the game, I could not access the game window, it was locked and all my money there , $122 , suddenly disappeared :eek: And the game just continued to play by itself so I was sure someone had hacked my account! I sent mails to support , kinda desperate here.

20 minutes later the money had returned to my account, very strange indeed.

Had to be a hack or something. I once had someone from China take control of my computer. He didn't do any harm but it really bothered me.

Seems like they still haven't figured out device reading related security aspects. That's why I think technical error like this happened and also that's why the software uses so much CPU power

They seem to be improving everyday so let's keep supporting them!

I will at least as long as they keep these cash freerolls coming our way like the Daily $100 Holiday ones. Great fun!

This never happened with me on WPT. But it did happened on party poker once, I had $50 at that time and one day I logged in and my balance was 0. I saw that the money was spent on casino (never play casino). Someone hacked my password and lost the money, don't really understand why they used the money on casino. PP didn't do much about it, I changed my password and had to fill a report to the site saying my account was hacked. At least was only $50, but after that whenever I win a nice prize, I always cash out a part of the money.
