Im glad i cashed out of Arctic - I guess they are gonna need the $5.35 left in my account for legal fees

Wow..this suck for me..I have 8k on Red Nines..that I built up from $5...I had better be able to get my money out..

wow this SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After all the promoting I've been doing too for this site. Half my BR is on battlefield and it would REALLY suck if it was lost. Wtf is this tusk investment company? Is it listed on any stock exchanges?

What a cooler, for real.

Poker funds should be completely ring-fenced so that all players can be paid out at once if that occasion arised, however as this group ran large casinos as well it's possible that overall it may not be able to pay all players. In this case I would *think* that Microgaming would step in to cover player balances, and as such your money should be safe.

However it is possible that it will take longer than normal to receive funds back, due to various investigations and processes that will be undertaken.

Thank you for the reply Purple Lounge. That helps takes some worry off my chest.

Do you know if players would receive their rakeback payments at the end of the month in addition to their current balance?

I can't really say anything about that as I don't know the exact relationship the different companies have with each other, and who pays out what to whom. ie did Tusk make payments to players, or the skins.

I will say that Microgaming are against RB, so if they take over paying out players I would think it unlikely they would make RB payments, although this is my personal speculation.

should we panic now?

perhaps a popup when you log on to battlefield would be nice so people dont panic?

I can't deposit or sit down on a table and all I get when I log in is a note for a $100 freeroll that I can't even sit down to play if I wanted.

15k on Arctic poker.Just transferred it there too...****

I would like a confirmation that my money is safe and that i will be payed fully, even if it takes a bit longer.

this story is huge.
i never even usually read this topic but clicked on it by accident. this really needs to be seen by everyone that uses 2+2 in my opinion.
i had an e-mail from rednines just last week offering me a deal that amounts to about 60% back. the only reason i didn't transfer my bankroll there was that i was in a rake race on my site and was doing quite well and it wasn't worth just giving that up so i was waiting until tomorrow to finish it then move my play. i am SO glad i didn't and extremely relieved i read this too.
i sincerely hope this gets resolved for all those concerned but i for one know that i will take an awful lot of persuading to use that network in the future.

We are one of the 28 poker rooms - we set up for the reason of having an online presence for the players on our 'live' tour and as such must be the smallest of all the operators affected. I have tried to get some information from Microgaming but all i get is 'we cannot comment'. MyPokerProfit are not back in the office until later tonight as they are based in Australia - The only indication those guys have given points towards a rakeback violation by red Nines and Battlefield, there is no mention of Tusk going into liquidation. This is a real pain in the arse as we paid MPP a $25,000 setting up fee and with the lack of information coming out of MGS or MPP, it is looking pretty bleak on getting any of this investment back. I play in our poker room and made a withdrawl last week which arrived on time a few days ago. So the withdrawls have worked fine upto this point. I will post anymore information as and when I have it.....

Hi Nik. Are you referring to this group of poker rooms or to the Prima/Microgaming network? As a whole I think you'll find Microgaming is one of the strictest software providers in terms of proper treatment and security of players.

Whilst players with funds in these rooms may be very anxious at the moment, I am sure the issue will be resolved properly.

Tusk is in liquidation. This has nothing to do with Red Nines or BFP and rakeback. No matter what they tell you. MGS put out a statement that Tusk was in liquidation, Tusk got ALL the casino licenses pulled 12 days ago.

this is absulutely crazy, 2/3s of my months income is in rakeback, and they arent going to pay it?
and they arent even saying if im gonna get the $1k i have in there allready back?
how can this happen :-\

I hope so.

the guarantees gonna be hot today for the microgamming skins that are still in operation, maybe sick overlay here

so how many mg skins are there?

28 are not working now so which ones are left? like 450 more or what?

pokertime, intertops, doylesroom, and eurolinx, i use 3 of the 4 and all have been solid for cashouts

lol, theres only 4 sites left?

no iam not saying only 4 sites left iam sure there is more, but iam saying if you have money on prima and can actually play, today might be a great day, cause thier 28 sites light and probably won't make alot of thier guarantees, the 35k for 25 buy might be +EV

no

There are lots of skins not affected by this (Stans, Gutshot, crazy poker to just name a few more)....

However from what I understand your probably better keeping you money in your account than attempting a withdrawal, as I really doubt that Microgaming will allow the money in accounts to be lost. However if you try an make a withdrawal, then your money will be in Tusk hands, and may be a little less solid.... I'd keep the money in the skins, as if they get moved, your account should also get moved

I'm leaving mine in RCC for the moment, I don't really want to risk a withdrawal at this time

I'm not sure this will have much of an impact on the network, as most of these skins were fairly small, you can view a list of them at http://www.mypokerprofit.com/poker-network-brands.asp

Looking at network figures we're not really noticing a difference.

oh christ, i just saw this and withdrew it, now its gone for ever?
