Does this happen to anyone else?

I am unable to make withdrawls or deposits in my stars account, due to what their security team has identified as- 'an association' with some other player that I've never heard of.

This is the second time it's happened, and both times I was asked to explain my association with this person (that there was none) prior to having my account fully reinstated again. I appreciate security being taken seriously, and in particularly suspicious circumstances I can see why they would not want a player in question to be able to access the funds in their account- however the only possible association with this player I could have would be that perhaps we've played on the same table before, so I really think the matter could, and should be resolved without placing such restrictions on my account.

They only brought the matter to my attention once I tried to make a transaction (I wished to deposit in order to play a $10 rebuy satellite without affecting my balance). The whole thing seems like over kill to me, and no doubt I won't receive any substantial explanation for the inconvenience. Presently I'm waiting on their security team to review identity documents they asked me to upload, so hopefully my account will be active again soon.

If you don't hear from me again, then chances are they used my identity documents to make the fall guy for a mass money laundering operation and I'm sitting in a bali prison somewhere for a crime I didn't commit- send help!

What I find the most interesting is why you thought it was a good idea to post this in micostakes pl-nl sub-forum.

well at a cursory glance I couldn't see any sub-forum for security or such topics, and these are the stakes I generally play at, so there you go.

Didn't mean to put anyone's nose out of joint, it just seemed as appropriate to go here as anywhere else from the forum categories I saw down the side.

Hint:


This is a strat forum, just about anything titled "Rant-xxx" doesn't belong here. You won't get good responses, and it just doesn't belong here.

Cool no problem, and thanks for the hint. Still finding my way around the forums, I should probably go back and have another look at the sticky's- it's been a while since I read them. I'll be sure to keep future posts strictly strategy orientated in this forum going forward.
