So it means 1$ raked now is worth much more than 1$ raked before Black Friday. That's not fair! I have already paid Cereus to play, I want my money back.

Well when unforseen circumstances arise companies do what they have to in order to survive. yes unfair it might be but if you operated the site would you pay out money to people who are not helping you stay alive? Or would you set a higher priority to the ones that are ?

Re: Can we discuss Cereus specifically?

Received my first money since the new limit also from AP requested a couple of weeks before. Allthough I still got a decent amount on my account I got out quite a bunch.

Also a new signing for the agreement? Well sound like the best news since black friday. Seems like UB will be still around for at least a year.

I think the downfall of FTP should be the best news ever (from UB/AP players perspective)

These loaded FTP investors that were brutaly kicked out might have gotten the sweet taste of poker and UB is for sale with very flexible management.

Re: Can we discuss Cereus specifically?

Hey guys

So i sent an email to AP/UB today, mostly because I am getting increasingly frustrated that I have so much $$ on there and haven't been updated by them in a while.

Hello,

It has been 3 months since your agreement with the United States Department of Justice. A member of the US Attorneys office has come out and said that Absolute Poker has bank accounts overseas that have not been seized or restrained by the US government. They have said that this is why they have stated that you have been free to refund us at anytime. When are you going to pay US players out? We are tired of waiting for our money. Please begin to pay out US players asap...we have done nothing wrong and need our money NOW!!


This was the response I got today.

Dear Eric,

As soon as we begin to pay out to US players, you will be notified. Lola

Re: Can we discuss Cereus specifically?

canadian player here $500 instadebit approved/deposited in my account today. cashout was mid june. my horse got a $500 courier check approved on Monday. Usually takes 2-3 days to get here. fwiw, i sent money to various accounts and got them to cashout without any play, and so far one of them has processed and the others are "pending". so go ahead and send moneys to your friends and cashout $250 x infinite friends you have

feels good man, sorta

it means nothing. no need to post it on every cereus thread. if someone is reading one, they are reading the other.
Your posts annoy me to no end. Seeing them several times is even more annoying.
Also didnt appreciate your comment other night that I must be connected to network I am unaware of because rest of america can not see tables.
Then you write next day, I know why WE can see tables.
My bet is you have under $1000 on Cereus. I may be wrong but wouldnt be surprised.
Has becoming Cereus thread captain become your new occupation?
Are you hoping to become moderator here?
When you get some valuable info, which I dont think you ever will get, by all means share it.
Until then try to keep the posts down to 2 or 3 meaningless ones per day.
thanks..... this has been building up in me for weeks, sorry. I responded yesterday in a much more severe way but deleted it after posting it.
This one I wont.

A novel idea but unfortunately there's a site called Pokerstars where those players might consider playing first. Cereus has already gambled and lost, there's no funds left to rebuy.

A site that has a skeleton crew working cashouts/support that has virtually no traffic wouldn't seem that appealing to me as a homeless player. Not to mention that the site would be taking my deposit and then essentially using those funds to pay their existing client base.

And just because investors are loaded doesn't mean they're going to plunk down ~$50 million to buy a company that isn't worth half that (I'm being generous).

I'm all for having hope but let's keep it in the realm of reality.

jesus christ man, this guy has been doing so much on behalf of all cereus players. just dont read his posts if they dont annoy you so much. he's not hoping to become moderator, he's trying to get his money back.
