Hello! I played Sportsbetting.ag (poker, sometimes in a casino and made bets). Since I am from the USA, I used cryptocurrencies for deposits and payments. I cannot withdraw directly to the card - US laws prohibit accepting payments from unregistered gaming organizations. I used a payment system with virtual cards, which has a common bitcoin replenishment address for everyone. But sporsbetting blocked me and refused any communication, referring to some strange rules and blaming me for what I don't know. Please write to anyone who has experienced sportsbetting.ag fraud

Maybe this is an odd question but even if you're on a site that allows them, do you find yourself playing better without a HUD?

In a way yeah. Pay more attention take more notes. But hourly is lower because it's easier to play more volume with a hud.

Looks like ACR decided to fix what wasn't broken. I will admit I have a hard time adjusting to big changes so my opinion is biased.
Before the redesign everything was clean, quick, and easy to find, now it looks like a jumbled mess. The site just looks overdesigned now.
I really wish they never took the path of over-the-top cartoonish nonsense.

Where did the Betonline and Global threads go?

Probably to https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...e-poker-sites/

They are not there anymore, which is why I asked.

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...ight=betonline

Any explanation for why all the official threads for Global and Betonline are removed?
If they are no longer sponsoring/paying, maybe they can be moved under "Online Poker Sites" as unofficial or ex-official threads like all the other sites.

Hello, i got a chatban for allegedly "Discussing Hands in Play"
Im just going to post the correspondence of the email interaction i had with the customerservice.
I think i am not at fault here, but maybe i'm missing something. I hope anybody can give their opinion.

baby hand

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, that was a comment on my own hand.
I know it not allowed to discuss a hand and im very much against it.
It might look like that im talking about the other players but im not.
So it is a misunderstading it seems.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Jeffrey,

Thank you for the feedback.

Unfortunately, no one can be sure of the hand you are discussing.

Your chat suspension will remain, and conclude on 2023-08-21.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I see so if you are not sure isnt it innoncent until proven guilty.

And also i can actually prove that i was talking about my own hand cause i was holden the 22 in my hand

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Never mind that i wasnt holding the 22 in my hand. The guy next to me had just folded a 22 and i said i would never fold that hand.
And then the next round i said "22" as if was holding 22.
In the context of the conversation it makes perfect sense.
So its still proof i think.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And not to be annoying but saying 22 preflop in and of itself is not really commenting on somebody elses hand i think.
It is impossible to make a prediction like that.
It was in the context of the conversation also never meant to be taken seriously even if it was a comment on my own hand.

Now i dont know what the precise conditions are for commenting on a current hand and if it has to be a comment that can be taken seriously.

I would asume it has to have some possible influence on the outcome of the current hand. Well saying 22 is the same as if said that i had two 15 of hearts it is not saying anything in the first place.

Hello Jeffrey,

Your comment came after you raised. When you make your comment, this can influence the action as it may attract more aggression from opponents.

This will be the final correspondence on the matter. Your penalty will stand.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I see, im pretty sure that has no influence on the game what so ever.
Also the fact that you are cutting this conversation short is i think bad customerservice but well within your rights to do.

I will further investigate if im at fault or not.
I asume if i post this on a forum i will get an clear explanation within seconds as to if i could be possibly be at fault and what my mistake is.
Just to bad you can't do the same for me.

I very well might be in the wrong so i dont blame your response but right now i dont understand it at all.
Anyway thank you for your time

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That is the end of the email correspondence.
I got a bit salty at the end there. Nobody has to respond in seconds.
Also i said it has no influence what so ever but i meant to say not in a way that is unfair.

Well turns out he was talking about the fact that i said "misclick" after i raised so i was making that whole 22 argument for nothing.
So is saying "missclick" really misconduct? I mean i think that it is bad mannered if intentional said, but to me its the same if i had said "oops" after raising. I mean isn't that just bluffing even if it is bad mannered?

Anyway i would greatly appreciatie anyone's opinion.

Kudos

Kudos to GG for actually taking the time to reply not once, but three times, even providing there reason.

Is it a major game integrity breach that you mentioned your possible holding? Not in my opinion, but best to move on.

hi,

where can i find every skin?

So the pokerbros club lucky stars is ran by scammers one of their players scammed me and when I brought it up they banned me instantly and then I had to rejoin and pretend I was someone else to get info and they played dumb and pretended that person wasn’t even in the server. They said that person is one of their top people and wouldn’t do that and when I sent screenshots they just banned me again lol. Also pretty sure that site is a bunch of players working together to drain the extremely high rake from each other. Basically they got all their mods playing everyday so makes sense
