Why I will never play at Black Chip Poker again - Page 3 - Internet Poker

Are fluctuating deposit minimums normal? I've only played on Bovada & it was always the same. I wasn't sure if this was common practice at other cardrooms

In my experience, it's always been a minimum $100 deposit on WPN rooms via WU. I've never had (I don't believe) the option to deposit with a debit card. $15 seems awfully low for a minimum...I'd say consider yourself lucky you were able to deposit that. Most sites are $25/$50 minimum easy for debit or credit deposits. And with good reason.

3rd party processors change all the time, specially for credit card transactions. Keeping the exact same policy across the board when dealing with different processing companies isn't really viable in this industry at this time.

I chatted with a customer service rep & she said that the minimum gets bumped up to $25 after the first 24 hours. My first 2 deposits had been four days apart.

I feel a bit disgusted with my experience now. Do they expect me to just give them $25 now just because they said so? I won't do business with a company I can't trust. If they'll change their terms without telling me this early on, how can I trust them to do anything they say? They won't be getting another dime from me.

I think you need to choose your battles better. This is a minor issue. They make the first deposit lower to attract new users and they should probably make that clear, but I have no problem with them doing this. In fact, it is a good business strat and if you were in their shoes you would do the same thing, if you like money.

Of course they did! In the minds of all rigtards, this is why they can not win! Everything is stacked against them... there are people sitting around computers day and night watching and waiting for them to deposit at poker sites so they can manipulate the cards against them, and steal their min-deposits! Online poker is riggggeeeedddd.

*sigh*
