blufer, have you ever said anything constructive in your life? Just wondering.

I say what I see. Telling what is real. Money players where are they? - No money. If you think that will pay you believe in Santa Claus?

I believe what he was getting at is taking 5 posts to say virtually nothing isn't "Telling what is real", it's annoying. I don't think any of those posts were needed, but if you feel free to post more in the future, it would be great if you could use the edit button rather than adding a new post every 2 minutes.

I've been playing on this Action Poker network via TigerGaming skin since 2005. I played less and less here as each software upgrade seems to make things worse. Recently, the upgrade removed all the other poker games like Chinese Poker, Guts, Big2, Pan, etc.

My gut tells me that this network is doomed. However, I've $4 of residual cash lying idle there. But the minimum withdrawal threshold is $25. At the time I didn't know there are so many complaints. Somehow I felt that if I deposit money in, I have a pretty good chance of not being able to get it out. To withdraw the $4, I need to deposit $21 in first. So it's betting $21 to win a pot of $4 in poker talk. The odds should be in my favor to make the bet justified, I hoped.

Then I requested a withdrawal of all the money on 2012Jul19 5:55:01. I hoped to be paid within 3 business days like the good old days. While I waited, I played some freerolls and brought my total balance to >$40. On 2012Jul24, I checked the payout. It's still pending. I thought, things are no longer like it used to be. I cancelled the payout on 2012Jul24 1:49:39, and requested a payout of $40 on 2012Jul24 1:51:06.

Since then, the payout has been pending till now. I googled for info, and alas... found complaints all over the net, and this thread. I read that for small amount of money, the payout tends to be fast. However, it's not the case for me.



Hopefully it'd all be sorted out soon.

I dont even know why I'm replying to this but... sites have a minimum withdrawal because they have transaction fees they have to pay on those withdrawals, plus fees to different payment processors they have to make. The same reason you can't deposit like.. 1 or 2$. Most sites have a minimum of 4-5 business days before processing. MINIMUM. Im really not sure what you people expect.

Also.. you're wait time vrs withdrawal amount is not even nearly sufficient to be worried about anything. They probably have probably a priority list of deposits and for 40$ you can guarentee you're pretty much at the bottom.

The wait will be long. Frustrating. And not worth it for 40$. Just forget about it and be suprised when you get a check or deposit..

@Kazzle:
For your info, PokerStars usually pays out within 1 hour even for $10 on a weekend. Maybe PokerStars has caused my expectation to be "unrealistic"?

VictorKIng,

I find your post fascinating, but I'm just curious what you think your time spent thinking about the $4, depositing $21, requesting a withdrawal for $25, cancelling your withdrawal, building your roll to $40, requesting a withdrawal for $40, googling for info, reading about complaints, subscribing to 2+2 forum, learning how to post pics of documents in 2+2 forum, uploading and possibly subscribing to photobucket, and finally posting (twice) in 2+2 forum is worth?

Anyway, welcome to the forum (seriously)

Sufferinsuccotash:

1.)Time spent on depositing $21 to rescue $4 takes about the same time in normal poker decisions. Either you raise or you fold. I raised.
2.)I didn't expect to win some freerolls there, but since I did, I might as well try to withdraw the winnings and see if they'd pay me on time like it used to be. Now it's not.
3.)Googling for info is educational. I always learn something new, and I enjoy learning.
4.)Reading about complaints will allow me to know which sites are shady and allow me to avoid getting entangled with them in the 1st place. Too bad I didn't think of this when I deposited the $21. My bad.
5.)I've been reading 2+2 forum for a long time and have benefited greatly from others' generous sharing. So I think it's only befitting of me to share my experience so that others in turn will also benefit.
6.)Learning to post pic here is easy and took a few seconds only.
7.)How do you know I've to subscribe to Photobucket for the 1st time? What makes you think I don't already have an account there? In this case, your hunch is right though. I guess you must be a good poker player to be able to read into things like that. Having a Photobucket account will be useful for future uses.

So to answer how much is all these worth? In financial terms, perhaps I've saved myself hundreds to thousands in money that I would've deposited in shady sites if I didn't know better. In intellectual terms, I get to interact with very smart people on this site, and thus add to my own thinking repertoire which'll be useful when making poker decisions. The pot is big enough to justify the investment of efforts. Whether the pot is meant to be mine or not is another matter.

VictorKing,

Okay, good answer. I mean I think you're a life nit. But good answer. And so am I.

Hopefully we all get paid soon, but right now I think we're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Been waiting a decade (since 23th of June), does anyone know whats going on ?

Year ago i was waiting for a withdraw ~3 month
Now 2 months have passed from my cashout request.
A support does not solve anything this is standart for this room.
frightens a small number of older players at the table means that the total debts room before the players just awesome.
The problem is that the players are isolated from information about the situation with the network...

Their chat is a joke and so are the mail responses. They cant give any straight answer and it seems like they just want to win time. 3months is just ridiculous lol.

I got a hint that they might solve the payouts in short notice, but i kind of doubt it.

From where did you get the hint, Chico support? Lol.

It's bad this time. My small $40 requested on Jul24 is still pending now. I think they are in serious financial troubles. Could be another Full Tilt in the making. I've $30 stuck in Full Tilt since it went down in flames.

Hmm, yeah ,lol, we are probably drawing dead in this case. Im cashbroke besides the money on paynorake, i will never play any other site than stars from now. Its the third time that i get fukked by a pokersite lol.

I have inside 23k

ActionPoker will not pay...
I have a cashout 2 months ago.


we have to make this public.
They will not pay!

twitter, facebook, official thread....

I just talked to their chat stuff and they said that they just started to send the payouts today and that we will recieve it any time. Sry for my english. Im always skeptical before it actually happens, but at least thats a different answer, compared to the 108 other chats that i have had with them.

Yeah, thats something different, usually they just give robotic sh.it. Lets see, today wont last forever.

I would appreciate if some of you guys recieved your withdrawl will tell it in this thread. So we can tell wheteher its an exception or if everybody is getting paid. Thx!

blah blah. 2 months ago promised to pay up to 2 days. Their promises are not worth it. They are liars and deceivers. You at all sites to write about them.

What are you talking about? I just said that im skeptical before it actually happens (recieving my money) and i just told you that the last chat was different compared to the other ones that i have had with them (and thats a fact), but maybe your not able to comprehend what i wrote. Your comments are not contributing in any way, by the way.

Seriously blufer, GTFO, somebody ban this guy.

If ssmeone receives money please immediately let us know
