I wrote tech support as well -- I'm sure they're aware of whatever is going on.. but - what exactly is going on - is the main issue... surely they must know, given the state of online poker, that any sort of outtage is going to instantly send worry into the hearts and minds of online poker players..

Agreed with Dying Actors. Plus, they moved their servers to the EU to avoid a Party Poker situation. I think this is teechnical, but I have no idea what exactly it is and how long it will take to correct. Any ideas out there?

nm, in after bustofish

before today i had tried to be optimistic about merger... but this doesnt look good.

I hope it's nothing, just the fact their websites are all down leads me to believe its the DOJ or whatever.

I have a terrible feeling this is the ****ing DOJ

Seems like Saturday night would be a bad time to schedule a server update.. I'm not liking this

What's MOST impressive about this statement is how you can be in two continents at one time -- kidding aside, thats pretty sweet that you can have two 'computers' like that.

Wait...wut?? You don't think that the same navy seal team that took out Bin Laden could get to the Merge servers???

(Not serious)

Sportsbook website says they are changing their name from sportsbook.com to sportsbook.com.au

I find that strange in the midst of the server crash.

The individual websites are up as far as I can tell. It is their servers that are down.

I sure hope, not trying to stir **** up. Just a bit troubling and frustrating as i just deposit a large amount of money (relatively large amount) on black chip today. A bit nervous when this happens a few hours later.

servers are down = websites are down
lol why would they host websites on different servers
it cant be DOJ cause they dont have jurisdiction in Europe , you guys think that America is the whole world?

Edit: I tried to log on through the site for Poker Host and it said I had 0 dollars in my account balance.

Gabriel Iglesias voice: OH HELL NO

I dont understand this post.. You logged in 'for poker host'? and it said you had zero dollars? -- Could you explain that one a bit more for me? I'm not sure what that is..

DiamondDixie · 05-29-2011, 02:11 AM

LOL don't think this is the DOJ, after all Stars and FTP had server crashes too before the dreaded BF.

Luckily I was busy losing my last few bucks on Bodog and not playing on Merge when this happened.

I will say I was in 4 or 5 MTTs on Carbon a couple of weeks ago when 2 or 3 of them got shut down for "technical issues" and in minutes the buy in plus a chip chop payout was in my account for all 3 games and the other 2 ran fine.
