wowowow.
Stars is trying to save me from myself apparently.

At a 3/6 table I was talking with Tdomeski when we were playing HU.
I go "I just lost 5k at 25/50"
he said "sucks, do u have the roll for that?"
I said "No, just a gambling problem lol"
- some railbird sent the chat to support and they closed it and sent me an email saying...

Our policy regarding gambling problem admissions is very strict. We do not
wish to cause anyone any problems.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this has caused, but saying you have a gambling problem is a
lot like saying "I have a bomb" when boarding an airplane, and we must take
all instances very seriously.

My e-mail back:
While my taking shots at 25/50 could be considered a gambling problem, because I do not have an edge there, thus I am gambling instead of expecting gains in the long-run, I don't think thats enough reason to close my enitre account. Please look at my records and you will see I am definitely a winner on your site and just need to stay away from the higher limit tables.

Then they sent this:

Thank you for your email.

We offer our games to have fun and maybe make money for players -
it is not our intention to destroy anyone's life, and letting a person with
a gambling problem gamble is exactly that.

Given your explanation (and your status as a lifetime winner on our site),
I do believe that you were probably just joking and do not really have a
gambling problem. I have reopened your account, but please do not joke
about this matter again in the future.

Best of luck and enjoy the games.

Regards,

Jacob

Stars support is so fast, while I don't like how they just closed my account based on one word I said jokingly, they got it up and going again pretty quick.
