Finished 14th in the freeroll. Got it in with trip 8's from the BB with a flop of 88T. I checkraise all in and get called by a JT. He hits his ten on the turn. Admittedly he was 95 per cent favourite on the flop, it would have been a small miracle if my hand had held. On the plus side I won with AK against 78 early on which gave me enough of a stack to make the money. Thanks Yachting Poker I can now uninstall and not go near the place for a few weeks, hopefully months! At least I can watch some sport or poker online while my partner watches crap tv.

long time lurker 1st time poster
I joined up at yachting when they 1st opened and played some tourneys and was lucky enough to win a little money.
decided to test cashing out to see whether i want to keep playing there.
get the standard b.s by these small sites about sending in copies of everything (why would a fraudster return the money plus extra to the C/C that deposited) anyways I took the time and scanned everything and sent it.
Next got an email saying they want more scans and now i have to earn 1000 ppps before I can cashout, annoying but still all good, thought I'd earn the points when tourney traffic picked up.
logged in today to find that they are slowly taking away my ppps so will probably never be able to cashout unless I wanna play cash or freerolls.
The site has no HUDs (last I checked anyway) and next to no decent tourneys, 2 major drawbacks imo and cashing out is no easy experience.
Not trying to burn a new site just stating my experience, they need to improve if they want my business in the future

Huh? First time I hear that, can you give any more details?

im guessing its because I havnt played there in a while, I was at around 188 ppp now down to about 177

No idea, haven't witnessed that before but I only started playing there maybe 2-3 weeks ago. Their Rep checks into this thread regularly, so hopefully he will respond to it soon. How long didn't you play there approx.?

Hi all,

I can confirm that it is not the case that we slowly remove your PPPs - the PPPs balance has no deduction made by the system - it can only go down by being used to convert to Tourney Tokens or Cash Bonuses. I just had a quick look on your account rtheseasgud and can see no signs of any deductions being made.

Also to clarify the point on the 1000 PPPs needed for withdrawal - this applies to players that have won the majority of their funds on Freerolls. Possibly PPPs should not be the terms used - as PPPs can be spent and it is difficult for the Player to track. Now that we have visibility of the Monthly/Yearly VIPPs (via the 'VIP' button under the 'VIP&Bonus' tab at the bottom right of the lobby) players should use this total to track how close they are to the 1000 point requirement. As VIPPs are earned at the same rate as PPPs at the base VIP level but can never be spent.

Thanks,

YP Rep

Question regarding that: The play through is based on the earned PPP's but you can spend them to convert into cash and tournament tokens. Will those be deducted from the remaining play through as well? If that is the case it might make sense to base the play through on the total earned VIPPs instead.

Also, even though it is early on and you just started, I would add one line for VIPP's earned total below as well.

this month:
this year:
last year:

Just a suggestion though

I think what you're seeing is the amount that's needed until the next bonus release or something.

I have been wrong before, sorry for any confusion

its not like much else is offered for tournament players. Being a bit negative but I dont understand why people would want to use a service that doesnt compare to stars

just had a "lol" moment in the massive 10€ Freeroll ... 3xBB left on the money bubble, less than 1xBB left at 30 and got 13th.

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has had a successful withdrawal to date.

Looking at the site at the moment and this is a biggy.

Yep (227€ iirc through moneybookers)

Thank you.

How did you earn the 1000 (3000?) PPPs necessary? I didn't think I'd seen enough cash games going for anyone to earn that many.

Anyone else been able to withdraw?

Did a NETELLER withdrawal for 64 Euro in August after cashing in a tournament.

Took two days to get a request for documents, immediately sent those, one day later I had the money in my NETELLER.

In one of the August Launch Tournies? WP

They don't have Neteller for UK players, for some reason.

The PPPs are only needed to unlock bonuses. I would think that money won in cash games or tournaments is redeemable at any time (pending verification).

The Rep mentioned on the last page that there may be restrictions if most of the funds were won in Freerolls, thus the 1000 PPP playthrough requirement.

Ah, thanks, must have missed that.

I am not overly concerned but would it be possible to put a disclaimer about "English only" in the chat? Because the Romanians tend to chat a fair bit in their own language when they are on the same table. Furthermore this is also common for big sites such as PokerStars.

Thanks in advance for the consideration.

I've just logged in today and checked my account balance and realised its slightly lower than i thought it should be. Checked my hh and found out that a husng i thought I had unregistered from yesterday hadn't actually unregistered me; the software crashed and the lobby and everything was shutdown. I didn't think anything of it until i realised that it didn't unregister properly before crashing... bit annoying really.

Your best bet is to send a PM to the Yachting Rep on 2+2 to check your account. That glitch was reported last week and should have been fixed, before people were not able to unregister from SNG once they were registered.

The client software crashes and requested to send the log file to support. But I dont sure where to send the file. It will be nice if it pointed out where the email address to send the file.

The email is: support@yachtingpoker.com
