Does anyone know offhand if there are any sites on the MG network that hold players funds in trust?

It would provide the same result and players would be much more happier/more likely to continue playing with MGS. This is of course assuming we are all winning players. If you are a losing player changes things substantially

BTW I agree with transferring balances to another skin with some restrictions for withdrawing would be a viable solution. Only problem is it may screw other players with very large bankrolls.

In this thread:

Bu-cu-ster wrote the following:

"Btw, Not in regards to this but I can also mention as an aside that he was in touch with a Microgaming skin VIP manager (not Tusk, but an operational one) and that the Vip manager for this room stated that they had been in toch w MG and that they would shortly offer all of the affected players 100 % rakeback up to the amount that was deposited. Is this general knowledge or...?"

Something that has not been mentioned is that such a solution would effectively return only 70% of our original money since we get 30% rakeback to begin with (though I and many others would welcome it any way).

is there a post in this thread specifically mentioning that someone in authority at a skin has indicated that a 100% rakeback solution is in the offing?

my understanding was that the 100% rakeback discussed here was just idle speculation but this is a very long thread and I might have missed something.

The 100% Rakeback solution is ******ed. I don't want to play at his piece of **** site anymore.

Let alone 1000's of hands to recover my money.

I want to cash out and that's it.

In my view, only a no more deposit campaign is going to persuade Microgaming to help us.

Not until their business is seriously affected, and all the other skins are screaming at them, will Microgaming seriously consider giving us our money back without delay.

The swedish regional newspaper with an edition about 54 000 ex. that I work on is printing the story from a player's perspective tonight. Will also be published on the web tomorrow. And the national news agency TT said they are interested in the story too.

You said here that no one had mentioned that the 100% RB solution wouldn't return all your money. As DwarF says below, that HAS been mentioned several times in this thread.

No, there isn't, at least not that directly.

great job.

That was feburary 28th..... Over 30 days later and NOTHING has changed.

Cliff is fed up with explaining it yet again and suggests you try the link in the very first post in the thread.

SimsPartners is the accounting firm doing the liquidation. You can contact them through their site.

Microgaming issued another statement, saying "Microgaming recommends that any player affected by this situation submit their claim directly to the relevant contacts at Sims Partners, via this web page." (referring to the SimsPartners web page)
