Contracts are binding.
And no, I can't necessarily get my money out fast if I don't like the way it turns out. If I believe the TOS - and why wouldn't I - they will confiscate all my money, including my deposit money, if I try to take out any money before I have played through my entire deposit - which is pretty hard to do on a site with so little traffic currently.
(And let's not yet talk about the fees and minimums for deposit and withdrawal.)
I was about to make some snide remark before i moved on to catch up with the thread. I'm glad i didn't because, reading on, I agree that the TOS is prety scary, and yes your well thought out suggestions would help clarify just how harsh the TOS really is.
My only experience was with the loyalty bonus given to returning players, which was liberally awarded and even extended to give players more time to earn it. However, I do not think my faith was misplaced as i imagine that chuck would make some kind of adjustment to avoid a particularly harsh result. I recently made a deposit for the reload bonus and now i'm wondering whether i should have made a smaller deposit to be assured of being able to satify all requirements.

It is a little confusing that their are multiple skins on PPN, one of which is called PPNpoker.eu For the immediate future all you need to know is that PPNpoker.eu is the only skin anyone is playing on.

OK, I can live with the glitches, this is my major gripe:
To get PPN to run I have to get past this window:
And I have to uncheck the box that says "Protect my computer from viruses ...", otherwise, PPN starts, but it won't run the Update, and it won't run at all.
Why does this window even come up in the first place? I have a standard WinXP system and NO OTHER program I have ever run ever asks me to do this.

I had the same situation when i played on my laptop, which is windows XP. It is a scary thing but i played for months with no problems to my puter. I recently switched to a newer windows version and i simply have to click "allow".

You have the winners of the 3rd and 2d place rake races playing their head up matches against chuck on April 21 and first place playing on April 26. If i'm not mistaken all three should be played on April 26.

I'm sure you realize that there's nothing wrong with your computer. It's just a security feature found in Windows XP. The fact that the window pops up when you try to run the client has something to do with the way the poker client is coded. When I initially installed the client, and when it has updated, Norton has flagged it as malicious. I just have to tell Norton to allow it. Play on.

It is not like PIV, where you have one account to play on several different poker networks.
Forgive my nit picking but we have come to think of skins as separate companies offering to play in a pool of players from various skins all playing in the same events. It is more accurate to say PPN has a number of poker rooms which have different themes, all accessible from a central account. This is much the same way other gaming sites have access to other games, such as casino games and slots, in addition to a poker room.

The Bonus page linked to the home page of the website shows this:
Leader Board Position
1st Place 100
2nd Place 75
3rd Place 50
4th Place 25
5th Place 10
Is this a third leaderboard? Are these cash prizes or just additional points awarded? If not for cash, what are these points good for? Incidentally, I noticed that the poker pros points on this page are calculated differently from the way the raked hands leaderboard points are calculated.

I sympathize. I had a short stint with True Poker a couple of years ago and i considered it the most primitive aspiring program i had played. I took another look recently and was impressed that they now have a very solid look and play characteristics. Hopefully PPN will get there too. We pioneering players have a rare opportunity to shape how that develops with our imput, if we have the patience.
That said, I wouldnt' blame you for bugging out when it suits your bankroll to do so. After awhle I didn't care much about that warning window. I do keep my antivirus program up to date though.
