I didn't receive an email, just get error message when I try to sit at any stakes table. Also, I agree with RakemeHard, they should have tried out the 4 table limit for a month or two and see how it went. That alone would have cut down a lot of what they are trying to accomplish, and would have prob even caused some regs to leave, which is what they want. Im also wondering if this is only playersonly and not sportsbook.

I'm a reg on PO. I'm assuming I'll be shut out soon. I just thought a lot of people were frustrated with the table restriction and had decided not to play anymore. What are you going to do though? They've got us by the balls. I'm just happy to have made a nice chunk from that site over the last couple years Live poker here we come!!!

Then why don't you just go to Aced or Carbon where you can play the same software and more than 2 tables? No idea why anyone would stay on PO/SB.

I thought maybe they wouldn't ban me bc the amount I spend on sports betting. So who knows how they determine who to ban.

did they ban you from sports betting too?

I'm worried that I'll get stuck with poor cashout times maybe I should give host a shot and chance getting banned there too.

Checks on both Aced and Carbon have been coming within 2 weeks at the most for a few months now. Sometimes as quick as 4-5 days. Poker Host has been banning people too and the VIP rewards aren't nearly as good so I'd stay away from there too. They also don't offer all MTTs.

Both of you might also want to read this post I made in the other Merge thread for some clarifications:

2) There are 2 partitions to Merge. The first partition is Jazette owned and operated and contains SportsBook, PLayersOnly, SuperBook, and any other small Jazette owned property that offers poker.

3) Jazette partition has been removing players from VIP and from cash games for the better part of this year, though on a smaller scale.

4) Recently strict table caps were put in place on Jazette partition and then as of a couple days ago, a wave of winning players had their ability to sit at cash games removed.

5) The Carbon/Aced/PokerHost partition is not opposed to winning players and they can come over to that partition and play on any of the 3 aforementioned skins. *Despite what one poster claimed a coupe pages back that his account was insta-locked. If this happens to you, post ITT your login name or PM it to me and I will make sure a senior person in support looks into the true reason for this error.

6) To be clear, if your ability to play on SB/PO (the Jazette partition) was taken away recently, you are in fact eligible to play cash games on the other Merge partition containing Carbon, Aced and PokerHost.

7) The cash table limits on the C/A/PH partition are 18 tables. SNGs/MTTs will be 10-18 tables depending on which skin you are on.

Kahn,

Poker Host is no longer life time VIP? They participate in last man standing, SNG leaderboards, two a days, etc? Seriously asking because I didn't think they did. Are they participating in all of the MTTs again? And regarding it only being 12 people being banned, that is 12 too many and I will never do business with them again because of it. I was a loyal Poker Host player for around a year but I will not give money to a skin banning winning players. Even if it was Merge that made the call. If I hear of Carbon or Aced banning players I'll quit playing there too.

Just an update. Players Only credited my account balance with one of my missing wires and told me to wait a few weeks to see if I get the other. A third was just processed and my roommate just received a wire so It looks like whatever processor issues they had with bank wires has been resolved.

Just look at the stakes you used to play at the times u mostly played. There aren't many regs still playing, meaning the other regs you saw daily, that you no longer see, have been banned. Have any of you guys that have been banned, called or emailed them about it?

I've received no response other than their cookie cutter email, granted my email wasn't as nice as it could be but I wasn't exactly happy when I wrote it.

We have both had wires available since quicktender went down. I'm not sure how they chose who could receive wires and who could not. I believe my roommates brother was the first player Players Only banned form the site several months ago and he also had wires available. So wires were definitely available to some. BTW roommates brother did receive all of his funds after he was banned.

Wires tend to come and go according to availability. They have been down a couple times despite what the above two posters said (they probably didn't try to get a wire in those time-frames it was down). It's a function of the nature of US processing...

Is PO now restricting withdrawals for everyone? I used to have as many withdrawals as I wanted pending, then it went to 4 pending at a time to now 1. If I were to follow the trend of the cash game restrictions tomorrow I will not be able to withdrawal at all.
