OP, would you mind letting us know your user name?

Maybe you should fly to Isle of Man and request in person that they allow you to play on the site. Record everything on camera too. Some guy recently did that to become an online pro and it worked.

Did your mate that colluded log into your account from his IP at any point?

@SanchoHH why would you want that?

@Robert yea I know Chiren did that but it was a publicity stunt.

@Knight I don't know. He did 'know' my password as I gave him a steam account for 1.6, but he said he never did so I don't think so.

You have a couple of holes in the story.

So you received 'gifts'.

There are woman who date different guys for 'gifts'. While they call them gifts, they are really payments for services.

You get money from a friend, play S&Gs with him, and he is later found to have been colluding. These gifts and association is strange in your context.

So you didn't use the account. But when the WCOOP started, you logged in to watch, is that correct?

And you noticed that someone transferred $5 to you. Someone you know I assume. But you never mention this again.

Then you later say you are banned a couple of hours later.

It's quite a coincidence that you are banned right after this transfer, yet you go on with weird conspiracy theories as to who might have hacked your account.

You want us to believe that someone:

Hacked into your broke account.

Did something bad there.

Transferred you $5 after doing said bad deeds.

Left your passwords alone.

Then, you log in and notice this $5 that 'someone' transferred you.

And gee, you are banned.

Weird huh?

hope u stay banned!

Merry Christmas!

Having worked for support before of another company, you received standard canned answers that are copy/pasted from a program. No one is actually replying to these messages they are just browsing through and doing a quick assessment of the best copy/paste answer to give you.. then moving on.

Good luck to you.

ok mind my wordchoice. English isn't my native language. Doing my best. Gifts is the wrong word, but an online friend who introduced me and my fellow teammembers (was contracted gamer 4/5 years ago) to poker was the first one of our group to have some dollars online. He gave us now and then couple dollars to enjoy play some sngs. He later gets banned for colluding. Hope this makes it any clearer.

Around the WCOOP time I wanted to rail yea (also watching RaSZi play some cashgames, because I joined Pokernews (dutch sub community where he wrote strategy articles) when I noticed the transaction which wasn't from or for me. Next thing I know my account is closed. I don't know if my 'going online' had triggered any security systems, because of different IPs, but this is what happened.

And yes I go on 'weird conspiracy theories' because I don't know what happened and I want to know yet Pokerstars won't provide me an answer.

@iggy well thank you for your pointless post.

@Jebus yea I assumed that and found it disturbing from Pokerstars. From another site I'd find it normal actually.

Well, even googling the user name can sometimes provide clues as to what happened. And there are even more sophisticated detective methods than googling.

So if you want to find out what happened, posting your user name can't possibly hurt but might help.

"We recommend that do not create any more accounts as they will be
automatically closed upon detection."

im guessing OP multi accounted and what he was telling us originally is far from the truth.

pokerstars would have to have some damning evidence to be this blunt with an individual so i am going to have to take the side of stars security on this one.

there are ways around this . . . move and legally change your name . . . but i dont reccommend you do this bc i am sure you will end up making the same mistake you did originally to have ur account perm banned.

I never multiaccounted and never will. I'm not a turd like ZeeJustin and JJProdigy.
@sancohh I dont even know my username anymore @ PS

It's true that its not fair that others that also multiaccounted can get their accounts unbanned, but he cant, just because he only plays ssnl, or that he's not a well known name in the poker community...

pokerstars is strict

Have a bit of pride. They have banned you so stop begging them to reconsider and just play elsewhere.
