The software is Ok and I could deposit with CC.

The problem comes at withdrawal time as the only option in their software is transfer to south african banks.

The first few times i could withdraw to my EU CC but now they refuse and will only send to some south african banks. I am not going to open a south african bank account just to get around 100 USD.

So please dont waste your money and deposit there if you are not from south africa.

im surprised you even could deposit, as far as I know silversands is for south africans ONLY.

EDIT: The same goes for 3 piggs poker so dont try that one :P

They sent me a free $50 USD months ago. I am from the Dallas area. I ran it up to like 13 brazilllion ZAD - whatever the hell that is. It equaled out to about $9 USD so I said **** it and just donked it off.

I just want to tell I have finally received my money via creditback to CC.

They said my card was not an EU bank issued card but a south african card but finally realised they were wrong.

It took about 20 emails to different support staff mostly without a clue and around 2 weeks.

So the site is soft to play at but it can be difficult to get money out of there.

They are just a bunch of crooks. I can understand variance etc but whats the odds of having every AA/KK donked during the rebuy periods in the tourneys. I started tagging some of the players as staff/employees and low and behold every time a player with AA/KK came up against them they would get called allin preflop by the likes of 47 and would lose to 444 etc. It became so obvious that I mentioned it in the chat room but those "players" never responded leaving me to think they are robots planted by the casino to get enough rebuys to make up the garuanteed prize pools.

Another concern was me outing a player with multiple accounts and all that happened was the player had the extra accounts closed but was still allowed to continue with 1 account. Its cheating and equates to saying dont worry, if you stop the theft and murder crimes they will still allow you to be a rapist.

On another occasion I was playing on full tilt and players were using the chat room there to tell others what they had at silversands. I took screen shots and sent it of to their support but they claimed its not enough proof and those players are still playing there.

No I would steer clear of that site as collusion, multi accounting and rigging seems the order of the day there
