He joined us last March, and all was good with him, though was struggling kinda on lower stakes.
But he decided to stop, and I quote: "I decided to keep the remaining bankroll to make a new start"
no answers from him since.
owes us min ~1k€, + never made the final calculation.

The player paid off the debt. The Steel Phoenix pool has no claims against the player.

We started working with Christian Sebastian Vieira on December 18, 2023.

Christian always had a a problem following his allowed limits.

Recently we discovered that Christian made unauthorized withdrawals which he told us were to pay for personal bills.

Christian said he didn't have the money to return to us, but did send the remaining funds that were in his accounts.

Christian owes us $2.4k

This guys has serious mental problems. If you want your money back, post on facebook group, Pokerstars Argentina.

Max Thomas Waterhouse joined our group on 6/30/22. Everything was great in the beginning. Max started the stake on a heater, he was active in chats, and it seemed he was on his way to good things. Fast-forward to the middle of 2023. Max accrued some makeup, and he started to become less active with poker and the group. We talked with him numerous times, and we were working towards a better direction going into 2024.

Max relocated to Thailand close to a friend of the stable in early 2024. Our friend helped Max get set up and introduced him to his network, and we thought things were headed in a better direction. Everything was fine until early March. Max had been good about communicating and then disappeared randomly for a few days. Our friend was worried about him and desperately tried to reach out to make sure everything was ok. Max reached back after a few days saying he had some issues.

Max fell out of contact shortly after and we’ve yet to hear from him. He had $5,331.96 in his poker accounts when he last updated 3/9/24. He owes us a total of $23,860.60 between that amount and the makeup he accrued. I don’t think Max is a malicious person, but he clearly has some issues and stole our money. He isn’t to be trusted. We will update if Max reaches out to us and resolves this issue.

We started working with Daniel Kopelowicz on March 13, 2024.

Daniel had trouble following his limits from the start. We had several conversations with him where we explained what he was allowed to play and the mistakes that were being made.

Daniel Kopelowicz agreed that he was entering games without permission and promised to improve, but within hours he was already making similar ones.

After multiple warnings to Daniel Kopelowicz, we asked him to send our funds back and terminate the contract as it was clear that Daniel would not stick to his allowed games.

Instead of sending back the funds, Daniel decided to play with the funds and try to run up a bankroll for himself with our money, however, he lost at the tables.

We asked the player for the funds again, now he claimed that his grandmother died the day before, that his car broke, that his wife left him, and that he was "****ed" but had R$50k in Safra Bank.

Daniel Kopelowicz owes us: $3.6k

We started working with Luis Henrique Roldan Anaya on April 02, 2024.

About ten days later Luis Henrique had an account verification problem, we advised him on how he could attempt to resolve this with the site. That was our last communication with him and after this he stopped responding to emails or messages.

Luis Henrique Roldan Anaya owes us $1.3k

Paulius was with us on the team for almost a year and at the beginning everything was fine, really nice guy and committed, did a few splits and never had anything suspicious about him, but on the course of the year the results became stagnant and for some reason he didn't appear to be the most cooperative guy for changing some things in order to improve his game and have better results, leading to the day that he decided that the team and the player were not in the same page and decided to break the contract, asked for a count about how much should he pay because of the make up + the balances, but from that day he started a roll of excuses not to send the bankrolls, when never send the make up he had at the time aswell. Simply after a week or two of excuses he disappeared and we never heard a word of him ever since, so now we are assuming that it's a scam.

Paulius Jackunas has a debt of 622$ with team Exploit.

We had been working with Dauro for around one year before he decided to ghost us while in deep MU. We tried all available communication channels at our disposal but he decided to stop responding everywhere. That includes playing dead in Instagram messages while still posting stories about his life... We strongly advise against working with him.

2+2: Johnny_pkr89

Ionut joined Pocarr in January 2023. From September 2023, he missed agreed-upon study milestones 8 out of 9 months. As a result, we moved him down in March 2024. On several occasions, he promised us that the study would improve, but it did not.

We found a $1,127 discrepancy during a recent audit. Ionut cooperated initially and returned cash on hand. He denied any wrongdoing but refused to send Skrill/Revolut records showing the movement of funds between poker sites. He cited fees/taxes, but this only accounts for a small fraction of the missing funds.

We're forced to part ways with Ionut because he repeatedly misses agreed-upon study milestones and cannot account for this recent discrepancy.

Ionut owes $23,882.

The player payed off all debts

So we hired him in 2023 October, knowing about his MU with a pool and his previous backer, we talked together with them and agreed that he can play with us, we back him and he pays them from his shares.
He did 1 chop for about 1.5k, none after that. he sent this year an audit there was like 30k money movement on the account he said he was exchanging for friend crypto etc, but the withdrawals were more. also according to the pool, he was up for the total period with EV, and he had like 8k rb during that the time as well, still he did not have anything on the account.
he denied everything, and said he only owes 1k, no idea after what calculations. later came back now it was only -200$, while he received $5250 bankroll.
also he played unapproved mtts and cash games, from which he withdrew 1-2K, but he was down in those in total so again, it just added to the debt. he became very arrogant, told him 100x time to do a chop, he didnt do it. told him he broke the contract, and owes us the bankroll, so we dont even ask for any more.

Weird case, he joined in March, 1 chop, then went awol, no answer anywhere. Despite of multiple requests, he did not asked any bankroll from us. so we dodged a bullet there. No money lost, however he did use our content, were in coachings, coaches spent considerable time with him.

In October 2023, I entered into a mutual understanding and contractual agreement with BITB SPINS, which has unfortunately led to several misunderstandings and disputes. I wish to address these issues clearly and factually to correct any misrepresentations and to clarify my stance on the resolution of our disagreements.

Contractual Commitments and Early Termination: BITB SPINS prematurely terminated our agreement, ceasing their support which was necessary for me to play and potentially recover from losses. This action hindered my ability to fulfill our agreed-upon objectives and repay personal losses, which amounted to only $200.43.

Clarification on Financial Discrepancies: Contrary to the claims of a $30K discrepancy, the actual amount under repayment as per our agreement with Steel Phoenix is $3,656. This correction is crucial for an accurate understanding of the financial aspects of our dispute and trying to show me in very bad light.

Misrepresentations of Approved Activities: The MTTs I participated in were approved under our agreement. I categorically deny participating in any unauthorised cash games, as has been falsely claimed.

Professional Conduct and Communication: Throughout this process, I have faced significant unprofessionalism. BITB forced me to used their mail which they were not able to configure. I was not getting mails for about 3 months and all of my communication with Pokerstars I had to ask Peter on dm to send any message and use him as proxy between me and Pokerstars. For instance, my suggestion using his owner - Patrick Leonard as an example in discussions to illustrate possible outcomes and not to demean, like I could stake him on WSOP and when he hits some losses I want ALL THEY MONEY BACK (intentionally large font to show Peter mind) but when he will win some cash I don't mind taking my part ! Hey it's just business no losses !

Financial Audits and Record Keeping: I have maintained transparency with all financial records and the results of audits. Despite this, misunderstandings persist due to some parties' unfamiliarity with basic data formats, complicating the clarity of financial dealings.

Scheduling and Availability for Meetings: I remain committed to resolving these issues amicably and am available for meetings post-6 PM on weekdays or anytime on weekends, accommodating my full-time job responsibilities.

Consequences and Future Caution: The lack of support and decision to prematurely terminate the contract by BITB SPINS resulted in my expulsion from the PokerStars VIP program, a significant professional and financial setback that far outweighs any backing provided.

Postscriptum: It is with a heavy heart that I address the conduct of certain BITB SPINS employee Peter aka kptii1 (https://www.instagram.com/kptii1), which has lacked a basic understanding of decorum and professional treatment. It is especially disheartening given that their employers are personal friends of mine in real life. Despite my openness to reasonable resolutions, the interactions have been marred by rudeness and an outright refusal to engage constructively. This situation serves as a reminder of the importance of professionalism and respect in all business interactions.

It is also vital for the community to be aware of the risks involved in agreements where terms might not be fully honored, potentially leading to significant unilateral decisions and consequences.

Niko joined Pocarr in December 2017. We provided monthly pre-chop loans to him starting in January 2021. In October 2022, we discovered that he was not updating his rail accurately and had stolen $4.7k.

We reduced stakes, added the stolen funds to Makeup, and gave him a second chance after he apologized. Regretfully, since then, Niko has accumulated over $40k Makeup from loans and losses at the table. Now Niko has admitted to again stealing the nearly $6k he had falsely listed in accounts over several months.

With all trust lost, we can no longer stake Niko.

Niko owes Pocarr the full amount of $40,182.12 + $5,943.51 = $46,125.63.

Has been a client of my agency for quite a while but decided to send legitimate transfer receipts then cancel the transaction another way.
Total lost: $1940

He even tried to send $1.5k through this method and get chips on ClubGG/PokerBros but I decided to take a step back and was the right decision. Was a good client for over 6-7 months.
