I think it's important for people to be heard, Madness. Because I am an optimist, I always try to look for the positive slant on things. We have already heard from arious sources that negative balances can occur, so we should just accept that information and learn from it.
I think it's good advice not to allow anyone to sign into pokersites where you have an account from your pc - no matter what the reason.
Don't drink all the beer though, eating pizza at the moment and really feel like one.
Pass the brew.

I think you can get a negative balance by making a deposit from a checking account.... bodog lets you play the money right away, even though the deposit has not cleared from your bank... so if you lose all the money, and stop the transfer at the bank.. bodog probably is out the money... not for sure if this is what happened but could happen... lord dont try it though... that would be bad LOL

though Ive had my ups and downs at bodog, customer service has always been top notch. one of the few sites you can get a live person on the phone at any time. in the days of neteller you also got withdrawals within a few hours. linked?? never heard of that.

Well I think the idea here does not revolve around fairness - it's all about profit. The site had an opportunity to recover a loss - which they did because there was a link between the stepson and father.
I also asked them about this matter of freezing one persons account for activity of any sort on another persons account. their response was "the only time two unassociated accounts would experience any interruption or interference from us is when fraudulent or collusive activity is suspected and under investigation."

I have gone rounds getting accounts funded, at bodog and Ultimatebet. I have used ewalletexpress, which seems to be tied up with bodog cuz Ive never seen them anywhere else ( same w/ nucharge). With ewe, you have an option of "express funding" which incurs an additional 8.8%, but it allows you up to $300 that you can instantly deposit at bodog. Now, if your banks has nsf, ewe charges $29, but your bodog account is unaffected. I know this, unfortunately, from a personal experience.
I have also used irtualvisa from giftcards.com, and that is purchased w/ a credit card.
In any case, I do not see how it is at all possible to get a negative balance at bodog... so I emailed thie customer support, which btw has always been quick to respond and nice... ia email. They informed me that it is ... | | Read Entire Entry |

Signing up accounts from relative's or friend's homes is not uncommon, so the possibility exists that the father actually did own the delinquent account. The truth matters not here because the poker sites own all the power. If they want to keep your money for whatever reason - they can - knowing fullwell that the average pokerjoe cannot take them to task. Or can they? Inquiring minds want to know. Has anyone challenged a decision made by a poker site and won?
Can we start a new thread with this idea? Is there such a thing as fairness when you hold no power?

I just don't see how they can make you responsible for your step son's losses. If he is over 18 and used an account with his name on it when he did this, he is on his own.
Did he use one of your cards or accounts? Then you should whip him silly because then you are the responsible party for the money. Make him work for $1/hour around the house to pay this off.

I am not totally sure how funding works - but I believe the funding companies are providing the poker sites a service at a lot cheaper rate than credit card companies - so pokersites are beholding to them. If InstaDebit advances a deposit that is rejected by the bank, I don't think InstaDebit will take the whole loss - why should they? They are providing a service to the site so the client can play instantly. If NSFs were a common occurrence and InstaDebit WAS liable for the whole losses, then they would stop advancing money instantly. That would not be in the best interest of the poker site. They probably have some agreement with the pokersite as to how to recover the loss. The poker site is in the best position to recover the loss because sooner or later that ind... | | Read Entire Entry |

I did't have a negative balance,my stepson did. Its take 3 to 7 days for most funds to clear. My stepson played & loss before the funds cleared & at that time the the new laws came into play & the funding he used did not allow the tranfer.

I have friends who play religiously on one site. Had withdrawn all his money from the site to take to the WSOP last year. Neteller goes down so he can't get money back on the site. They credit him 400 until he can secure a transaction to replace the 400.
He had a rake of over $250k on that site alone in a 6 month period. So, technically he was -$400 at the biginning of this year. That is how you can go negative. You are a high roller and ask for a loan. No other way I can think of unless you scam them and lose it all before they catch the mistake.

Someone I know signed up to an InstaDebit account but they got part of their account number incorrect. Anyway, they were able to deposit the max (400.00) and play with the money. Their instadebit account was frozen the minute the 400.00 didnt clear their bank. Well this person fixed the error ... but imagine if someone was overdrawn at the bank.... so in fact they could play with the money before it cleared. Now in the case of the above individual you would think that a collection agency would have been sent to the stepson's house......unless of course he was underage.... then the poker site would be sool.

Somebody please tell me how I can get a negative balance at a poker site? I really don't want to use my own money if I can use theirs. If I win great, I get money, If I lose I just don't pay it. Perfect. Please tell me how some random donk can do that?

Hmmm.. I never knew about this before. So assuming its true... then its best no to allow anyone else to register and play on the same site on your com. But Ive heard of many couples playing on the same com, and how do you owe an online poker site money?? Can you just waltz in and ask for an advance? Sounds fake.

I remember a similar post a couple weeks ago involving a brother's account who owed money or something similar. I'm not sure what company that was, but they wouldn't let that guy withdraw either.

Read it again. The OP supposedly paid the debt with a credit card and then filed a dispute with the credit card company, who then reversed the charge.

I play on bodog and actually like them the best out of them all, full tilt being second, hey on the credit issue you should worry about that, you dont need your fico points going down, if the credit card company agrees with you, then thats your dispute and they should not be able to hold you liable, but your story sounds ery fishing to me, been playing for over a year, and my mind is racing wondering how the hell do you get into debt on an online poker site, its impossible, which might tell me someone whipped up on you and your pissed as hell.

wow that is ery strange, I was not aware you could even have a negative balance at a poker site. Seems like it would be a huge liability for the site. Anyways, that is total bs and I hope you dont pay that collection agency. If your credit card agreed that the charge was fraud then you should not worry at all. I guarantee they wont pursue you too hard for 400 dollars.
