Hello,

I have been playing Ipoker for almost 1 year. I didn't have any problems before with big amounts but ...

Yesterday I played a HU nl20k match against XtremeX7X and won almost 22 buy-ins off him. In the evening I received a message that my account is blocked and it is standart procedure and if I didn't make any scam or damping while this match so there is nothing to worry about. But after that I received 2nd message where manager told me that after looking at the hand history of the HU match they found out that I was involved in unlawful play with this guy and asked me for exlanations about my unlawful play without any description of this "unlawful play". I called my manager and she told me that I should write them via email my thoughts about XtremeX7X' play and explain why I played the way I played this match. LOL. I have already done it but wondering wtf is going on. The guy played awful and I dont understand what they are looking for.

Btw, searching for Patr1ckBateman, who played with XtremeX7X. Can u send me a message here. It seems to me than you can have the same problems

Any thoughts guys.....

Cant pm you. But anyways,ask the room for the hands of your 'unlawful play' and post itt

Have done already. No answer yet....

Manager told me that she does have any information about blocking and cant tell me anything. She also told that account was blocked by Ipoker not by skin where I play

Dont know why pm does not work

which skin are you on? who messaged you, the skin or ipoker/playtech

some of those hands were posted in the high stakes thread he just looked like a guy on monkey tilt

Yes, I railed most of the game. Xtreme was dreadful. If they suspect some sort of chip dump then why would he be playing 2 opponents? And fairly lengthy HU matches too. What could "unlawful play" allude to other than a chip dump? Hope you get everything worked out. I imagine PatrikBateman will be having exactly the same trouble.

All email was received from my skim but they told me that the blocker is Ipoker

They asked me to send the explanation of my game and for exp 3 or 4 my winning hands to describe. I did it.

you need more posts to pm..Have you tried to contact playtech?

Nop, how can i do it?

there a bitch to reply tough..I have a nr of someone but cant post in public

hi. i was railing you hu match. feel free to pm me, might have links if its a big skin as im a big volume player on ipoker. i may also be able to talk to the russian guy you were playing also during the next week.going 2 sleep now but can hopefully help tomorrow

dont bother contacting playtech imo, thats a real last resort

How can i send pm ? I cant find this option now. How many message should I post to be able to?

A similar thing happend to me at iPoker. PLayed a guy at NL2k who dropped 1k in 5 hands. The only "unusual" thing he did was 4bet ship A9o for 50bb. After sending 10-20 emails back and forward trying to explain my "unlawfull play" and my connections to the player (obv don't have on) they locked my account and took the money on the account without explaining what I did wrong. The skin i played at was William Hill but don't know what part they played (besides for the terrible treatment I got from support).

This was about 2months ago and I've since then contacted IBAS who is a impartial third party. They in turn have done nothing so far and don't answer my emails anymore.

Not really sure if this is helping you at all or just worrying you but thats hat happened to me. Not sure what else you can do but start a scene I guess (?)

Good luck! If you have any questions I'll be glad to answer them if I can.

very disturbing post SKSK even though I do not play as high as you, i play occasionally 5-10 and also at WillHill, not to psyched about winning big and having my account locked.

OP: Probably they have been contacted by some person claiming ID-theft who haves a big ass limit on his CC or something. Regardless of it being true or not they ofc have to investigate, but as always when ppl id-theft@pokers they almost never tries to chipdump as it is very hard to get away with compared to random 13yo stealing a wallet or something or stealing his dad cc and just ******edly blow it away for funs.

I hope you are getting your account /w your money back, and I hope you didnt get freerolled either, that it comes up legit or something.

When you say it lana I remember them writing "fraudulent funds" a couple times in the emails, probably thats what happened to me. If I where you I'd try and call ipoker directly and try and speak with someone there. I tried but never really got to speak with anyone.

This is worrying. I too am on WillHill and play 1k+.

I see they did the same thing for Behar10 the HS plo player, who apparently played 10-20 didferent accounts all who were dumping to him, not sure if this ever got verifired or what happened but this is why his account got locked, dunno where that thread is.

Im actually thinking of leaving ipoker as although there are whales, it seems rather pointless if you are only gonna get locked if you happen to win huge.

A while back I got banned. But unlike most of other people that do, I agreed that there was something dodgy going on and so i
reported it to ipoker before they banned me. The guy was shipping for all but 1$ then folding @ 2k. Unfortunately ipoker said I was covering my own back by reporting it (even tho it's pretty easy to dump and make it look legit if u want). During this time tho my skin blue sq said it was them that held my $$ not ipoker, and all ipoker could do is block me. My $ was therefore safe. Anyway, ipoker unblocked after a week and warned me??! So obv gotta quit when a game is too good!

Similar thing happened to me at "pokerhost" a lesser known site. They accused me of chip dumping for pwning a guy in 5/10 PLO took $1600 off him in one hand and like $2600 overall. Pokerhost took all of it. Complete bs and since barely anyone even plays on there no attention was received by the community.

If something like this happened on stars/ft it would get outrageous attention.

omg so many same situations....

btw the guy played not only with me. for the first several hours he played with patr1ckbateman - after that he added HU table with me and in the end he left patricks' table and played 1 hu table with me and 1 HU 5k sng again someone esle.

geeforce1, my english is not so good, did u receive your money back ? did ipoker unblock your account finally ?

btw patr1ck won off him 250-300k thats why i want him to be in this thread

Hi,

I'm Patr1ckBateman (I can actually prove it, if you get in contact with me).

First of all, I didn't win 250-300k off, but more like 160k, but that shouldnt really make a difference here.

I was also contacted yesterday by the ipoker skin I play on that ipoker wants me to explain my relationship to xtreme and explained me that my account will be locked for security reasons.

i told them that i neither played him beforehand nor did i know this guy before the match.

now it seems that ipoker is checking the match and there is not too much i can do besides waiting for a reply.


i am actually pretty sure that it was no unlawful play at all. the guy was really really bad obviously but it was far from chipdumping or something like that and the phases he seemed to push any hand were really really short (like 5 hands against me twice). if i would play a fish like that at lower stakes and won 7-8 buyins, i would actually not be really surprised about some of his plays (actually i do remember a session on 10/20 other site that was pretty similar).


anyways, get in contact with me via pm asap

edit: cant send u a pm for whatever reasons? not familiar with 2p2 policy

i think you need min number of posts to be able to send/receive PM. i think its 10 or 50 posts..

sick stuff. gl you guys w this.

I dont have "send pm" option when I click on anybody nickname


I can only send email

my friend took $ from him at the 5ks, and accnt not blocked. it was def a real player, we was talking to him in the chat.
