Who thinks I will actually see my money from Pokershare?

Since I am a gambler I will lay odds of 8-5 that says I never see this check they say they already sent.

Let's see, since my account was enough to meet the minimum for thier FedEx payment I wonder why they can't give me a tracking number.

I was playing late last night and the e-mial was in my inbox before 3:00 AM EDT so they had precious little time to calculate my exact balance and run to the FedEx office to mail out the check that was "already" sent.

I smell a rat, a rat with about $600 of my money. This is the first time I have been ripped off from an on-line poker site or sportsbook so I guess I should consider myself lucky in that respect.

Anyone else have an account there? If so let me know if you ever get your money, I will not hold my breath.

I am sure you will get your money back. Although the situation at Poker Shares is unfortunate, I don't think you can place the blame entirely on their company. They played by the rules and when UB saw a significant cut in their profits, they went yelling and screaming. If UB actually provided better bonuses and didn't keep cutting back on rewards for players - eg. reduced UB points in half, increased points for mechandise in their reward program, eliminated high hand jackpots, etc, people would have eventually gone back to them.

It's like Party and their skins. Even when the Party was part of the entire network, the majority of players on the network was playing on party, because they had more to offer than their skins.

In any case, I think they had to process thousands of accounts at once and it is probably too much of a hassel obtaining a tracking number for each account they had to send a cheque to.

Most people that deposited through Neteller have had their money returned to them already.

In any case, I'm sure this situation didn't please anyone but the folks at UB. The people at PokerShares will probably end up taking a big hit if they do the right thing and pay all it's affiliates the proper amounts. And people playing there should receive their money back sooner or later, and can continue to play on the network through UB if they like.

That's how I deposited and they claim to have already sent a check which means it should be here tomorrow or Friday at the latest. Again, I am not holding my breath.

[Penguinfan]

I am suprised, check came FedEx today for the full amount.

Ok then, I'll take your 8-5 odds against for $1000. Pay up.

Sorry, no past-posting at my book, we have "people" who deal with customers like that.

pokershare has/had a nice business concept, i admit.

however, in all that clever planning they forgot one small detail: to at least buy/own/lease their own (canned if necessary, see: microgaming/micropower adaptations galore) SOFTWARE!

would have made them a real company from the get-go...

now, i dont know...
