    (Not just Minted, it's network wide)

    Just show this on 2p2:

    House Rules:Tables Availability

    To maintain healthy player and financial balances within the cardroom, players with weekly winnings of 750 Euros(or equivalent of) on our cash tables will see their access limited to certain tables. The status of each player will be reset at 00:00 every Sunday at which point all the tables will be made available again.This restriction does not apply to any tournaments.

    Here is the 2p2 link:

    Would you be able to play on a different skin everyday to get around this? The boss network outright kicked off winning players awhile ago. So minted is handling it marginally better.

    LOL, guess they are trying to scare off the professionals from the site. Not sure what would be the business decision around this, maybe its also a fraud protection tool, but doubt any serious cash player would consider playing here with these restrictions.

    What a shitty decision. The need for regulation just becomes more and more pressing.

    Yes... if your only options are to play on a poorly run site, or not play at all people will play on the bad site. Regulation gives people the opportunity to play on a good site, or at least if it is poorly run it will be risk-free

    Absolutely. In the current environment, incentives for the sites are distorted. The high cost of processing what are in all likelihood illegal cashouts makes winning players somewhat of a burden for sites, at least in some respects. A regulated environment would lessen this burden and encourage the sites to seek ways to attract and retain winning players as loyal customers. You would also see more free and fair competition in a regulated environment, so sites that makes disastrous changes like this are going to lose customers to the many viable alternatives that will hopefully be out there.

    To many people, Minted is just some no-name, insignificant, poorly-run poker site. But to some of us, it's part of our regular rotation, and not something that can be magically replaced when they start shitting on customers.
