I tried to deposit using usual card...didn't go though so I go and get a prepaid and now it won't even allow me to try and deposit, it also says that cash games are restricted for my account, as well as any tournaments I've tried to register for with points....WTF??? I've been known to be a dick here and there but this can't be the result.

[ ] MAer
[X] live in the US
[ ] have been banned ever before
[ ] registered for any tournaments today

Anyone have any ideas?

I just got the email saying I'm associated with someone so they're closing my account.

What a crock of shit!! I give this site well over a grand a month and this is how I'm treated? I don't even get a fucking time frame of when I'll be able to log back on?

How long does this mess usually take?

Really? That's it then? So i no longer play on fulltilt because of this?

Since when did people become responsible for the actions of other people? Pretty dumb.

I would rather get an email of them telling me that online poker is illegal in the US ( I know that it's not, obv) and that's why they're closing it rather than this halfass excuse. Maybe they should stop signing new pros and put more money into customer service.

I'm still banned on stars after playing on a friend's IP address. Another of our friends had played on it, and I think what happened was he ended up having multiple accounts or he didn't clear a payment or something, so my account ended up banned because of this. I am just too lazy to send in a copy of my ID to prove that I am not him, so I have been playing on Full Tilt ever since. This could be what happened to you though.

Sounds pretty spot on, only difference being that I don't hang out with other online players....any idea on how far back in time this could relate to?

Had 100$ in my account at the time and they never gave it to me, never got a cent back, This was huge for me at the time, my total online balance was less than $250, its F*CKED how sites can just close accounts and keep the $$.

Sign, now I see why people say it's rigged....BECAUSE IT IS, THE FCKIN SITES ALWAYS WIN!!!

We have done this numerous times with no aggravation and it got me wondering.

And no, we dont collude - for $8 dollars whats the point. If anything, we bet between us on who lasts longer.

Cheers,

Yeah I don't get it. In college we would play in the same tournies and have last longer bets etc all the time and there were never any consequences, why are there for other people? Doesn't add up. Also, if they are banning people for playing on the same IP address or whatever, why don't they only allow ONE player per IP. In other words, when the 2nd player tries to log on it would not allow it. This way the problem of colluders on the same IP would be solved, and legit players won't get in any trouble.

As I read through your posts the one thing I notice is that you do not claim to have not associated with someone who did something wrong. Could that be the problem?

If you guys are trying to tilt me, it's working!!!

No, I haven't associated with anyone who has cheated. The only other account that has ever played on my IP/I have transferred to is my cousin's account who plays micro. He hasn't played online I think since before November....so again I say, WTF.
