Poker.com is a total class act. I know I'm a bit biased but they have my ote for accreditation.

Hey Rob, we're just about to release this. Feel free to contact me directly.
---------------------------------------
Poker.com saves the day for World Series of Poker hopefuls
The home of online poker, Poker.com, has generously offered to provide the WSOP packages won by ten ChecknRaisePoker.com members who have been told that ChecknRaisePoker.com is unable to fund their World Series of Poker prize packages as previously won through their website promotions.
According to arious press releases surfacing on online gaming news sites, ten ChecknRaisePoker.com members that had won World Series of Poker seats have been informed that their prize packages are not to be honored. Via an email from ChecknRaise management they have instead been offered a series of small payments over the coming months.
Poker.com has attempted to contact ChecknRaisePoker.com management by email and telephone to confirm this situation and offer to cover the prize costs, but as yet have bee... | | Read Entire Entry |

The issues revolving around ONGAME skins is a mess. For the third largest network to have so many scandals going on in their network in 2006 is a bit scary, especially with the attitude ONGAME seems to have about it. I'm surprised these new skins are allowed to run their own banking. It doesnt even seem like they have a reserve set up either. The Futurebet skins have been a mess but as you mention it isnt exclusive to those licensed under Futurebet.
If ONGAME continues to allow this to happen they could easily find their network getting a bad reputation. With all the money at stake I cant see why they dont seem to care.

Here's an indication of the power of the internet gaming community.
Just got this email:
--------------------------------------
Hi Rob,
We would like to thank you all for your responses to our original email. A number of ery good points were raised and we will be considering these further. For those of you who have already made travel arrangements, and especially those of you who have incurred expenses above and beyond the expense allowance that was awarded to you when you
won your seat - we regret the inconvenience that we have caused you. We do hope you enjoy the WSOP in any case.
Since there has been so much talk and doubt about whether CnR will even make the first payment, and to demonstrate our commitment, we have decided to make the 1st payment today. (The second payment will be made on July 31st.) This payment should be in your account by the time you
see this email.
We realize that a payout schedule that extends to 20 months is a lo... | | Read Entire Entry |

Hi
god i feel so sorry for you not that this will make you feel any better in any way but your right something must be done to crack down on online gaming..even the UK casino/poker sites DO NOT operate inside the UK because they would be made to adhere to rules .so what do they do they goto cyprus/gibraltar where rules are much more lenient and they can basically get away with murder.now im positive not all these sites are rogues but its time something far more stringent was laid down to all sites to make sure they are 100% reliable in every shape and form.lets face it theres 100s casinos poker rooms on here that have at some point done something not good to someone at sometime.what you have said in your post basically as far as i can see boils down to nothing but theft.they have £11000 belonging to you but will give you it IF theyre cashflow improves which i have to say is dubious.forums like this are good but it needs something more than this licences are handed out willy nilly in some countries ... | | Read Entire Entry |

This will be crossposted on the forums at other sites so sorry for any duplication.
A while back, I, and a number of others were fortunate enough to win tickets to WSOP events through a series of promotions run by CheckNRaise poker, an ongame network (Poker Room) skin. I and a couple of regulars at BW even won ME tickets. The event that I won in particular was listed here, my alias on CnR, is pokerrobr. http://www.checknraisepoker.com/prom...toMillions.php
Well last night I get the following email:
-------------------------
Hi Rob,
We regret to inform you that CnR will be unable, at this time, to make a lump sum payment for the 10 WSOP seats that were won this year through the “CheckPoints to Millions” and “Freeway to Vegas” promotions on ChecknRaisePoker. However, we plan to make this up to you over the coming months. We will deposit into your player account 5% or more, as cash flow permits, of the alue of your entry in monthly installments starting July 31st ... | | Read Entire Entry |
