I have a suggestion OP

Subject: URGENT! scammed by site, PLEASE HELP!!!

feb 11th, 2014

OK so im sittin there caging dolts in the 101 hyper, make the final 4 OBV bc i am GREAT at poker, anyways for my final 4 match i was seated immediately sitting out with no option to sit in. THis is scam ****, I am not amused. I was sitting there panicking ate 12 xanax bars before i could calm myself enough to figure out to close the table and then reopen the lobby as that was that was the only your CRUDDY site would let me play, so i get seated with like 460 chips, almost run it up because im that good, but i was robbed of a shot at victory, and now when i sadness drink, those 12 xanax bars will lead to a severely dark time in my life, this is not acceptable, and this is on you, pokerstars, as a COMPANY if I OD or die of alcohol poisoning. Please do not send me to my death without some extra compensation for my bastard children you are leaving behind fatherless.


Thanks.

My name is Christopher, I am working for the Responsible Gaming team.

Peter's email below has been CC'ed to us because of the seriousness of the suicide threat you made in your email.

Bjorn, you need to understand that this is a very serious issue for us. We can not just ignore what you said.

In your email you mentioned having eaten "12 Xanax bars". As you should be aware this means nothing less than "I just killed myself". This is absolutely unacceptable. We have absolutely no room for jokes when it comes to such threats. In fact, if you hadn't reacted to Peter's chat request, we would have called you and if you hadn't answered that call, we would have sent the police to your door immediately.

As a result, I have removed your privileges to play and chat. To reinstate your account, I need your promise you won't make ANY suicide threats again in the future as well as your written acknowledgement of our Terms of Service.

Please visit http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/room/tos/ and read that page thoroughly.

In your reply, please send the following statement along with your promise: "I have read, understood and will comply with PokerStars' Terms of Service."

Bjorn, understand that even if we reinstate your account this time, we might have no other choice but to ban you from our site completely if something similar happens ever again.

This email is independent from your pending refund request. This will still be handled by our Refunds team and you will receive another email from them as well.

I am looking forward to your reply.

Everyones bitching about how stars is going downhill.

Finally there is a positive news about them handling something great.

Lets troll the **** out of them yea!

yea that would be sick.. then you could grind again

Unreal stars not letting him grind now that he binked 4.5k

That is pretty impressive if true

I'm going to write in Pokerstars for president and Kleath for VP.

forgot that the email from them was titled "Suicide Attempt Followup"


had to send this to get my account bac

to wecare
Hello christopher, had i known this would cause such a tussle i wouldve never been so loose with my jokes. I have no intentions of harming myself or using such language again, i would be robbing the world of far too valuable of a human being. Also Ive never taken more than a xanax or 2 at once but pretty sure id pass out around 4 or 5, my tolerance isnt that high, not to mention complete waste of xanax. So yes I do in fact promise to no longer threaten harm upon myself, and I have read, understood and will comply with PokerStars' Terms of Service. I am sorry to the people I have let down with this display, and i hope that our fruitful partnership can continue unabated.

Chinaman, where are you from? Are you really a Chinaman?

Lol

U foreal kleath? Is that real life or u trolling?

And yes Taiwan

yeah, joking about depression and suicide is always funny!

I suppose at least they gave u 4.5k as a send off to help out a bit, but on a serious note if OP was in a suicidal way a lot of the comments made by posters in this thread are disgraceful, a bit of compassion def needed just incase OP is in a worse state than we are led to believe, there is some stuff like asking for financial assistance from them which is going a bit too far and if he's losing at sports betting then he needs to address that 1st, i think 6-12 months is a bit too harsh off a ban but def there is some timeout needed, maybe stars should set up a program like AA, GA etc if they are so concerned about people's welfare, they could do it over skype... I wish OP best of luck, we have all had chat blowups at one time or another as the game/life can be frustrating at times, sometimes for prolonged periods, my advice to OP would be to take a few weeks away from playing, get ur mindset in order, have a plan in place, give up the sports betting, unless ur a trader uve a very small chance of beating it, play fantasy sports if u like the buzz of it all. GLGL

PGPC has all u need to make repayments. dealers get paid nice too and the view is real and its spec-tacular. musta bumped into u there

Pokerstars banned me forever. It's almost impossible to grind out of all the make out and debt owed. Any suggestions?

Degen **** ruined my poker career.

lol funny stuff, you sure had a good "career"


youd make more money flipping burgers.

play on partypoker and 888, there are plenty of good tournaments.

if you're literally banned for life from stars there is no point moaning in here about it. try reopening dialogue with them in a year or something like that and show them your results on other sites, noting that you have made no suicide comments for X time.

keep it positive buddy

Rather steal blinds... 3bet then flip a juicy burger

Just give up the poker dream. For 97% of people its the right decision. Get a real job and in 5 years you'll look back at this thread and realise how much time you wasted with poker.
