[Merge Gaming Network] Discussion Thread - Page 512 - Online Poker Sites -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

also interested in availability of other cashout methods? only reason I haven't thrown money on for ops is cause I can only get checks. I don't even have anywhere to receive the checks atm.

both bovada and acr have different options for me that are quick and effective.. but waiting 3+ weeks for a 2500 check sort of defeats the purpose. would be tilting to bink like 30k and take a year to get it

Failing to refund players for the disconnects is a fault on their part.

However, they're not responsible for the disconnects taking place. If they were, these disconnection issues wouldn't be happening on every poker network in the world.

Do you see it as somewhat of a rake grab as well? Not that everything they do isn't. Lol

Pokerstars doesn't have disconnection issues. I advice everyone to move their money there and start playing.

Many of us are American players who don't have access to Pokerstars. I for one would play there in a heartbeat if it were an option.

It's well known that every poker network is being hit with DDOS attacks that are causing disconnections. Even Pokerstars admitted it.

Carbon,WPN, and Bovada (American facing sites) are being targeted more than the others. Are you even aware that one of the DDOS attackers came on the thread in December and threatened Carbon specifically before shutting it down and crashing the site later that night?

Yes, yes. That is the point. Dexter was comparing connection and support of grey market Carbon with Pokerstars knowing fully well it doesn't matter since most of you cannot play Pokerstars.

. While they may have been great in the past, the fact that there's 50 pages devoted to people complaining about slower payouts and disconnects shows you that everything is clearly not okay.

Just an aside for those of you getting 10 posts per page: Upper left hand corner under 'My 2+2' click 'Edit Options'. Scroll to 'Thread Display Options'. There you will find 'Number of Posts to Show Per Page'. Helpful suggestion the from Mods.

Actually the moderators deleted that post. It did happen though. I think someone might have quoted it; that might still be there.

2/4 and 3/6. It's not uncommon to see 2-3 Mexican regs per table now which is kind of brow-raising since there only used to be one Mexican player at those stakes several months ago.

Ah, cash tables. Can't speak to that. But low level tournaments, no.

That wasn't at all the point of my post. My comment was in response to the previous comment that "every site in the world is having the same issues"
