It seems to be a common theme that, when something happens with the software (which seems to be fairly regular ocurrence these days), it always takes ages to resolve the 'money' side of things.
I personally think having to wait 24-48 hrs to get money back that's still deemed to be 'in play' on a cash table, despite the fact the tables are now closed is unacceptable.
Once the table is closed, the money should automatically go back to a players account - just like when you leave a table yourself when playing. The fact it doesn't and has to be done manually, is a serious software flaw and major issue IMO.
I know of no other poker sites that take the lengthy amount of time that PP do, to get money back to players or issue refunds etc...Most have systems/software in place that do it automatically and fairly quickly (if not immediately in a lot of cases - depending on the type of tech issue and what type of games are affected).
I feel sorry for those players who might have all or a big chunk of there BR (money) tied up in games when something like this happens and no access to it until such time as PP organize themselves to give it back. Those players are out of action in the meantime, which also means loss of income (rake) for PP.
When I read posts like the one i've quoted above and see the ongoing issues arising on a fairly frequent basis (along with how there being handled - which is poorly IMO), it really does make me feel like PP is a bit of a shambles in this regard and leaves me questioning the site overall.
IMO, PP really need to prioritize sorting out this side of there operations and put things in place so, that these issues are rectified a lot sooner than they currently are and also just as importantly, in a manner that instills their players with confidence in the site, which is sorely lacking currently - at least for me and others i've spoken with anyway...
