Well this is awesome. I've been billed $40 by Certegy, the payment processor. This is a steaming pile of BS and I'll be complaining to customer service. Don't know what good that will do, if any.

Any update?

Are you sure the charge is from DP's payment processor?

What did phone support say?

I didn't see any policy listed that there is a fee for withdrawals over a certain amount

Yeah, I got a reply from them today. They basically just passed the buck to their payment processor Certegy and gave me their 800 number. I haven't called yet, mainly because I have better things to do than be given the runaround. I'll call them sometime in the next day or two.

I am 100% positive that those debits are related to deposits or withdrawals from the Delaware poker sites, because that's the only thing that I use this bank account for.

Bad Ip address-Bad mediacom- Bad Delaware Park customer service.

First time poster.

Sitting in South Bethany Beach on long weekend from Maryland. Can't login because "I'm not in Delaware". DP says my IP address is in Tennessee so I can't play (but I CAN play play money they so helpfully tell me.

Mediacom tells me that my IP address is in fact in Delaware, so there's nothing they can do. All search engines show Delaware .

Also, DP says it can pass it along to tech support (Takes FIVE business days for a response). There goes my long weekend of online play.

Anyone have a solution?

i really don't think even anyone you eventually talk from tech support will be able to give you any solutions. i've gone from periods of not being able to login at all, to being able to login and getting kicked off mid-session, to not having any problems at all.

i've recently had success by opening up the google maps app (and keeping it running as i play) to ensure that my phones GPS was on, but the sample size has been far too small to draw any conclusions.

i know that it says it's an issue with your IP address but i'm not sure their software is even advanced enough to reliably tell you why the geolocation isn't working instead of just popping up a generic "not in delaware" message when the geolocation check fails.

at least if you can't play you don't have to worry about being disappointed in the tiny player pool.

Make sure your phone's GPS is on. Make sure you are near other WiFi networks. If that doesn't work you're probably out of luck. You could switch ISPs I guess and try that.

Not worth the hassle though. The geolocation sucks and the player pool is tiny.

Enjoy the beach or play at a real online poker room. This one seems to be run by idiots.


I finally ran into another advertisement for this site, it was on the radio either yesterday or the day before. It was basically the only ad I've ran into other then I think a billboard a while back. They are seriously not even trying with this poker site, I see NJ online poker ads all the time, like pretty much every other day on TV in DE and basically hear next to nothing about DE online poker. You add in the other problems that are posted itt and Just wow.....


Hopefully when DE joins Nevada we will get some real businesses trying to run a real operation. I wanna be playing on Harrah's.com or something awesome like that!!

RE: "Bad" IP ADDRESS

Thought this reply from DP would amuse those plagued by logon problems. Remember, my ISP (Mediacom) verifies that the IP Address is in Delaware.

"We apologize for any inconvenience caused but for you to be able to log on and play for real money with us here at DelawarePark.com your IP address is required to be showing Delaware according to the regulatory demands. Unfortunately at this time it is not.

Our system performs these checks and the data is used to dictate if you are eligible to play for real money and if your not. At this time we are looking into ways to improve this system but until then there is nothing that can be done until your IP address is showing in the state of Delaware once more on our end.

Might we suggest that you attempt accessing the site from another location/connection source."


So helpful! They've got bad data and have no interest in getting it right. Imagine if they had more than 100 players at a time.

I actually was able to logon (at the public library). Played the 25$ Freeroll-- My AA cracked by Q7. Some things never change!

South Bethany is also where I have tried to connect with no luck. My issue though was with phone verification

There was a post a bit ago about the negatives of Del Poker online.

While I agree with some of the points...Id like to throw in a few positives IMO

$105 a day in freerolls that have small fields. These are great bankroll builders for the Micro Players...and pay the top 10%...compare that to the only other no deposit freerolls I know of...ACR's $10 on demand freerolls which pay $10 total to the to2%...it;s tough to make the money in one of those and when you do you can play for a couple hours and mincash 55 cents

Sine the player pool is essentially always the same you can profile the hell out of your opponents....and trust me, many of them are horribad rec players who want to gambool and live for the rush of the 3 outer.

The regs have to sit with you because there is little game selection...they cant wait for a fishy table....they have to get in there and mix it up if they want to play the site.

Yeah the player pool is tiny....Yeah the tourney schedule is tiny....Yeah game selection sucks....but there are benefits there

They've recently adjusted some of the guarantees on their regular mtts. Unfortunately, because of sparse participation the Sunday GTD $1500 has been reduced to a $100 buy-in and $1000 GTD. Sad when compared to NJ, let alone the good ol' days, but at least it's going off every Sunday now and it has a great structure.

The nightly $25 mtt seems to be the sweet spot for state players, and gets enough traffic to come close to matching the Sunday in prize pool. It also boasts the same great structure as the Sunday.

We can't pool with NV soon enough.

Are all three sites currently pooled?

If so will all NV sites be able to hop in that pool?


If not how the heck is this interstate pool going to work?

The answer, for me, is "no". As much as core support is needed as the leads in state gaming try and decide what to do with a floundering product, its still my time and money being wasted if I participate at this time.

Options galore:

Live Poker 15 min away at DP, 35 min away at Harrahs.

Interesting article in NJ online today about how they are seeing an uptick in the number of travelers coming in on Sundays, renting a room at a hotel/motel, just to play in the Party Poker Sunday tourney contests.

Also talked about players who "grind" and are there Mon thru the week as well.

I'm planning a trip in three days to AC. My first trip to the town in 14 months. This Thursday, I'll visit Caesars, sign up on the WSOP platform, and Borgata, sign up with Party Poker. This will give me the added option of taking a trip over the bridge and playing the online tourneys with bigger prize and player pools.

So........ I guess you can say my time and money will go where I see the best cost/benefit. To play at a site that had less then a dozen people playing on Easter Sunday night is not a good business decision for my time and bankroll.

The DE gaming leads are getting paid a lot of money to get this thing going, they need to start earning their paychecks before I decide to risk a portion of mine.

Last point, the casinos don't seem to care one way or the other. They argue over big picture items on the front page of the papers having to do with lessening their risk on the live gaming action money pool, takeout figures and tax matters. Not a word said about online gaming.

Yet, little guys like us are encouraged to support the weak link in the gaming puzzle with hard earned after tax money from our pockets.

I don't think so.
Delaware has given a lesson to all the other states in the best way not to do it. They started first.... Had the upper hand.... And gave control to lottery who gave it to people who seemingly never met a poker player. It simply could not have been handled worse.

I agree and I understand that they were given some meaningful recommendations from the staff at Delaware park and changed nothing.it is truly a shame.

Agreed. Worst decision was giving it to lottery

it was the only way they can legalize it. It could be worse, like the over the night card room that came and go due to the poker laws in delaware.

look up your IP from whatmyipaddress.com to make sure that it is MD and not delaware. Then call comcast to see if they can release a new IP to your account this way to can see if this helps. Might have to find another comcast store further away to be able to hook into .

that the only think i can think of for right now other then getting a vpn with a delaware Ip arp.

Well I got an email back from DP. They said to go here:

www.maxmind.com\en\correction

And ask to have the location fixed. Hopefully my request will hit the DB tomorrow.....but I don't have any indication it will be accepted.


Then I called comcast tonight. Was transferred about 4 times all the way down to Tier 2 team. They can't do anything since I have a dynamic IP address so he told me.

Seems pretty terrible, that after being up and running for many months they can't even get people in the state to be able to log in. I get its sorta comcast's fault as well, but IP based GeoLocation services is not a good way to be doing this.

If Apple can figure out where my iphone, macbook, ipad are within a few feet how can no one else figure this stuff out?

Comcast has a wireless hotspot I can hit from the house as well, but when I hopped into that.....Location was Washington DC......

My iPhone thinks its in Dover DE, but to get tethering I would have to give up my ATT unlimited plan which is not gonna happen.

O well, I guess I will wait and see what happens with maxmind.

Shouldn't the blame be on 888 since they're the ones providing the software?
