uugg. ive heard of this. is this common? earlier this year i Xfered over 10k to one Eric Crain (as we do every other year or so) so that i could get it here in vegas and have $ for the ME. well this year he went tilty or something and had some horrible downswing and couldnt pay me back. Eventually he grinded it back and sent it to me in pieces on AP/FT/PS but apparently on AP he used a credit to depo and hasnt payed them back, and now my account is frozen until he does.
Is this normal for sites to do this? i think im done transfering for good now. -

its normal,
they want to avoid ppl depositing money they dont have, giving that money to someone else, and then when they are caught they dont have the money anymore to give back and the other person runs free with the stolen money.
im not sure what the protocol is, i would send them an email asking what it would take for u to be unbanned but it might not happen until ur friend clears up his debt -
it seems only ft does this

Yea that is why transferring can be a pain in the ass. There was a thread awhile back on this you may be able to find if you search for it. Although the search feature is even more of a pain in the ass.

It's common but they don't do it everytime. My buddy owed Stars 1,500 for like 6 months and I have a long list of transfers with him and they didn't freeze my account (probably because I was generating 2k/month in rake at the time). He squared it away finally so I will never know if they were eventually going to freeze me.

whew, talked to them on phone and they said to just email photo proof of my licience and a utility bill etc and they will unlock it. they said from there records i dont have much activity with him and being that ive been on that site 7 years+ now they see i have a good long standing relationship etc. so hopefully ill get back on track there.

tons of both. We do tons of last longer bets. Never any large amounts though, maybe like 20-300 dollars at a given time.Originally Posted by akcbr954

I do not understand why any of these sites allow you to actually play with money that they haven't received yet. And then when they don't receive the payment for whatever reason they go and ban innocent people linked to said account. Pretty fuckin stupid if you ask me.

that sucks paul - yeah I never like doing xfers with people for small amounts esp on ftp because of this stuff - ill have friends im me asking for 50 bucks but i mean why would i risk my account getting locked/banned to do so. sucks

Im in the middle of this on stars right now. I think. When I e-mail them they wont specify what is going on. They just keep saying there is an "investigation" but its been like 3 months. I transferred a guy some money a few times and I guess he is in trouble for something. I have no idea for what. I dont know what is going on.
