For you, in Tennessee, all of the US-friendly sites with the exception of Betcoin seem to care about cheaters and colluders.

has anyone played on ourgame.poker? I saw a banner ad on 2p2 but can't find any information regarding what network it is part of.

Carbon (a favorite for many until last year) appears to be making a comeback. Now offering bitcoin deposit (with 10% bonus) and withdraw. Withdraws are only taking 2-4 days but do incur a 5% fee. Traffic is still slow but the quick withdraws with bitcoin will bring some players back.

I have not but I went to their site to check it out. It looks Japanese and is full of anime pictures. This is what it says on their homepage: "Each person takes, in average, 200 decisions per day. Some of them change almost nothing in their lives, while others entail significant changes. Playing at Ourgame Poker is the decision that may change your life drastically for the better.

Here you’ll find plenty of tournaments with a variety of buy-ins as well as tables for playing Texas Holdem and Omaha. You’ll also be favourably impressed by our special offers and bonus program that may deservedly be called ones of the best in the online poker world.

In addition, for sure, we’ll help you make your dream come true and become a champion of the greatest poker events such as WSOP or APPT to change your life once and for all.

Our game is poker."




A chat support window immediately popped up and I asked them a few questions...

Customer Service
Hello! How can I help you?

You
how many players are currently playing on your site

Customer Service
Hello. Due to Ourgame Poker room is just recently created we currently have around 100-150 players online.

where are you based out of?

Customer Service
Can you please a bit clarify what do you mean?

You
what is your location?
Japan?

Customer Service
Our HQ located in London. That's all I can say about our location.


For a company based in London, their English is awful.....

A rep from that company contacted me and we chatted all morning. I'm not sold on playing there or working with them. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I did ask some tougher questions at the end of our conversation to which no replies were given.

Ourgame also have another social gaming poker site called 'PokerMonster'. I believe they are legit as it look like they also bought the WPT brand.

I tried playing on Sportsbetting/BetOnline a few months ago and the software was so buggy that it was making me time out on my other sites. Resizing a table was a guaranteed ten second freeze. Has their software improved at all in the meantime? Thanks.

No. The software is still the same and I had the identical issue. Resizing a table would kill my entire computer for about 10 seconds.

I am unable to confirm or deny it at this time, however, it seems the same person that contacted me about Ourgame.poker contacted someone else I know today. They seem to think that this Ourgame.poker is not the same as the one linked in the article. I'm incredibly busy and don't have time to do research on it, but I thought I'd pass this along in case one of you Internet sleuths wishes to dig into it.

Just noticed the Ourgame.poker banner on the side of 2+2. Says US players can use skrill. Anyone play there? Any good?

US players can NOT use Skrill. I assure you. You should not attempt to do so unless you want a closed down account!

I knew lock poker was gonna show up again sooner or later.

Well they seem to be quite big, they have a $75k Sunday MTT which is bigger than most networks. There's like 5-6 high stakes 1knl,2knl,5knl tables running with the Chinese battling out (which i'm sure will change when the euro's join). Also there now advertising on a million affiliates, just saw them on sharkscope and a couple of affiliates.

They actually can in New Jersey, but that has obviously nothing to do with Ourgame.

I have around 5K sitting on Full Flush. I have seen that people are waiting 6+ months for cashouts. How come it hasn't been update or added to the list of scam sites? Is it possible to pull the money out of there without selling it for fraction.

How come what hasn't been updated?

What list of scam sites?

Umm....an update that Full Flush doesn't pay. You clearly list it as a site where US players can play, yet Full Flush people report hasn't been paying for 6+ months. You have Lock listed as stay away (scam site list), so why do you have Equity Network still being listed as not rogue.

Corrected the Lock comment at bottom of OP. Thank you for drawing attention to it.

You're welcome. Even though I have no idea what you have updated or changed.

Changed it from "stay away" to "closed".

Oh ok, got it. Surprised there isn't much said about Full Flush. Can anyone post their current cash out experience and if you waited 6 months, can you update the site to show that it doesn't pay aka stay away.

Please read the thread on the topic of withdrawals for that sort of information. (I see you have posted in it, already.)

I don't think it has reached anything like the situation was with Lock when "everyone" was calling it a fraudulent site. Anyone considering playing on any site should read as much as they can about that site and decide for themselves whether or not to deposit.

Ah, OK. Well, I'm pretty sure it is a place where people can play.

Lock was listed there with this message:

"last payout recorded several months ago; many players waiting a year+ for their money"

While EPN's payout situation is obviously quite dreadful, it's not even close to the Lock situation described in that comment. It only took me one minute to find a couple of reported payments in March and April in the EPN cashout thread.

Exactly.

Someone having waited 6 months isn't the same thing as no one having received a payment in 6 months.

I'm not saying that is the firm cut off of when we make a note on a site in the OP of this thread - we don't really have one. But we've never really monitored cashouts and decided that once it takes some, many, or all people X months to be paid out, that we would put them on some list. If we did, Merge might have made it on some time back - thankfully, they've since improved. Lock was a pretty exceptional circumstance.

The OP isn't meant to be the one-stop home for all information about every site - posters need to research sites they want to play on. It's meant to be a list of options available to US players, and in a couple of exceptional circumstances where sites were on the verge of shutting down, we made a note of it. Your suggestion is noted, and I'd agree if things don't improve at EPN, they're on their way to that list.

I know as a fact that this https://www.ourgame.poker/en/
is just a copycat of the REAL OURGAME brand (owned by big stocklisted company Beijing Lianzhong) http://www.ourgame.com/
I would be very careful playing on that copycat site - https://www.ourgame.poker/en/
- I heard many bad things about it; it is basically a fake site by Eastern European porgrammers, who employ superusers to rip off their customers in the apparent big highstakes cash games full of Chinese (which are just the superuser accounts they use to lure European and US players in)
The real Beijing Lianzhong - which runs http://www.ourgame.com/
and http://www.pokermonster.com/
- is 100% legit hoewever. They even bought the WPT as somebody above already stated.

There was a thread started about this copycat "ourgame" poker site if anyone wants additional info:
