Please let us know if your withdrawal gets processed or if there is any communication about it.

I had a few thousand tied up with Bet Holdem (old Prima skin) when they shut down the day UIGEA went through. They $ was eventually returned by Bodog who bought their customer list.

A mod should change this. Very important news that many will miss.

i have gotten no auto emails about it yet. i made it in 3 separate withdrawls, with a small withdrawl earlier today before i knew what was going on. typically withdrawls via click2pay have taken me about 2-3 days to get, so I don't expect to see results for a couple of (very stressful) days

Unless they went through before the shutdown, a couple of days sounds overly optimistic to me.

Re: Battlefield Poker

All the balances are covered by Micro Gaming. All that will happen is the rooms will move to a different "Parent" site. It's not the sites fault, it's the parent company.

Not from what I have heard...

I'm new on these forums but I just heard from someone in the know that these rooms have been closed by microgaming for rakeback violations. With battlefield being one of the best know rakeback rooms it makes a lot of sense. I can't see microgaming allowing them to simply "move".

Apparently MPP was just caught up in the middle between microgaming and battlefield.

If you play on microgaming and you receive rakeback in excess of 30% I would be withdrawing all of my balance right now and moving to a more reputable network. I mean which room will be next to go?

BTW I don't know who "tusk" is but these rooms were run by mypoker profit http://mypokerprofit.com/poker-network-brands.asp

Re: Battlefield Poker

Hello everyone,

Currently we don't have any more news than you do. There are a lot of rumors and information received through uncertified sources. The current answer is we don't know what happend. Tusk (MPP) the company in question, is our parent site who runs our call center, payment processing etc.

We will be in contact with MGS and our aim is to find out what happend and how do we as the poker room owners fix it.

As I get more information, I will pass it along here, to you all. That is literally all I know right now.

Re: Battlefield Poker

Microgaming has been around since before online poker, and I don't think a player has ever lost money when one of their casinos or poker rooms shut down. I'm sure your money is safe this time, though you may not have access to it for a while.

Tusk (MPP) handles all the player purses for us. Cashouts, Deposits, etc. They do all the support, call center, affiliate software, upgrades to our poker clients. We are not able to do cashouts without them.

We are trying to get in contact with them to find out exactly what happend and what is going on and what we need to do.

As soon as I get ANY information I will pass it along here.
