yea got the same email. I cannot possibly fathom how any business no matter how shady can send an email like that to a customer and think its acceptable.

I initially thought i was banned for telling recreational players at the table who the bots were (played mainly $.50/1 PLO). Had also discussed the bots and some of their insanely exploitable tendencies at the table with a couple regs (this probably wasnt smart fyi).

But then saw the thread, I'm from Australia and have already withdrawn through BTC.

Sucks cos for a small site they actually have the second best software on the market behind Stars and a decent amount of traffic.

Guess I'll have to use ACR again as my filler site seeing you only get 40 hands an hour per table on ignition with how slow the games play and the 4 table max

Right? No rakeback on this network is a huge downer.

The last time I checked the answer was no. VIP points or tickets couldn't be used for rebuys or addons. This may have changed at some point, but I don't recall hearing about it.

If they had more Freezeout MTTs or SNGs that took points I'd probably play tournaments a little more often. As I'm primarily a cash player these days I'm not into playing tournaments where I'm at a big disadvantage by not rebuying or adding on.

I'm starting to hoard some VIP points and was hoping the tournament series comes back soon to spend them on a tourney or two.

I'm not sure why anyone plays them unless they have no other options. The rake is ridiculous and there was a bunch of bots and colluders when I tried them out for a little bit. I used to play the highest buyin SNGs at Bovada about 5 years ago and it was easier to win in those than the low buyin ones at Chico.

Gentlemen,

Would one of you be so kind as to send me a screenshot of that captcha? I haven't been able to reproduce it and I need a pic.

Via PM would be awesome

Well that sucks, I would rather use the tix then spend the cash. Meh, guess I have to spend some cash.

I would stay away from the FO's that's worth playing, they are all full of leaderboard grinders... tough games

Did anyone else here see a captcha? I haven't heard from anybody else who has seen it.

There is less bots around and they seem to be on even less tables. I keep reporting the ones still around hoping they will get rid of them, but they're still there every night. These particular bots either didn't get a captcha or the bot user was lucky enough to be around when they did. They may have gotten a heads-up to expect it. There's nothing to prevent a bot user who is present from solving it and continuing to run it now that they're in the clear which is the reason captcha is not a foolproof solution.

It's nice to see less bots around and I appreciate them doing something. I just hope they find a way to get rid of the rest of these douchebags.

Thanks for the advice. There's not many Freezeouts that take points so I rarely play them anyway.

lol @ captcha talk.

Ok so my and TigerGaming's conversation history regarding to blocked account:

Conclusion: This is not about breaking site T&C's and not something I can change. They have (rightfully) identified me being not a recreational player and decided to exclude me from their games.

I haven't played here for too long so I don't know how long they are practising such player exclusion but I feel like they started doing it actively just recently so some good times upcoming for unblocked players

Should say "TigerGaming caters to breakeven rakeback grinders, bot users and the rare recreational player only."

What games and stakes were you playing Flipper? What was your nickname?

From what I can tell, they don't seem to care if you are a winning player if you are on an American skin. Perhaps they are realizing their Tiger gaming skin isnt very profitable.

I'm located in the West Coast of US. Just got this when trying to get on their website:

The owner of this website (www.betonline.ag) has banned you temporarily from accessing this website.


Anyone else?
