Well, someone recently changed the DO NOT DISTURB sign.
Is this meant as fair warning that Tropical intends to slither over to Flash Network? With Pitbull?

But seriously sorry about your money and they should definately be blacklisted. | | Static Link |
| Posted by: pooterguy at November 1, 2007, 2:27 pm | | Topic: SCAM ALERT! No cashouts from Tropical Forum: Bonus Whores | On his way out the door with our money about three weeks ago, the Tropical affiliate manager left this DO NOT DISTURB sign hanging on the doorknob.
Gee, what a surprise!
Tell you what koko... Since you're such a nice guy, I'll trade you all of my shares in Spades Lounge for half of your shares in Tropical.

We are. Getting it all together and I was also seeing if their Affiliate Department would reply to my email offering any explanation as well.

This is not confirmed but I have heard rumors that they were shutting down or moving to a network.

| Posted by: koko333 at October 11, 2007, 3:09 pm | | Topic: SCAM ALERT! No cashouts from Tropical Forum: Bonus Whores | Just to cross reference from the PitBull thread:
I realize this was brought up at the end of June and I apologize about the delay. And as I said, I ran into some issues with NETeller. None of which dealt with TropicalPoker. The key issue was me going to NETeller and signing into it from an IP Address from the United States. NETeller closed my account when I attempted to make a couple of transactions(through the United States IP), one of which included a withdrawal from Tropical. Everything that was pending was canceled due to this issue. I got that issued resolved. I have now requested the cashout from Tropical and have already sent a couple of emails regarding this cashout.

Well? How did it go?
I am currently having issues with my NETeller Account. I deposited on Tropical and made the withdrawal request in the same month. Tropical said that they were processing the withdrawal when an issue with my NETeller Account arose. This was an issue with my NETeller Account and not Tropical. However, Tropical was not the problem. Once I get the issue resolved with NETeller, I will make the withdrawal.

No cashouts from Tropical Forum: Bonus Whores | FWIW, I just noticed that the deposit page for US/Canadian players no longer includes cashier's check. The sole deposit option (for me, at least) is now Money Transfer (via Western Union, I think.) Of course, the WU fees (about $35 last time I checked) must be paid by the player.
Continually changing the rules without notice seems to be effective strategy for keeping players on their toes.

OK, good luck playing .02/.04 NL. It should only take a couple of years to whore that bonus.
I see that Tropical just reduced the minimum deposit to $10, but the minimum withdrawal remains at $50. Hmmm... $5 fee for $10 cashier's check in order to withdraw $50?

I will let you guys know.

| Posted by: pooterguy at May 23, 2007, 8:41 pm | | Topic: SCAM ALERT! No cashouts from Tropical Forum: Bonus Whores | Looks like trouble at Tropical.
From day one, Tropical didn't have much traffic at the tables. But I signed up to whore their bonii, some of which I never received even though I cleared all the requirements. But bonii were plentiful in those good ole days (nostalgic sigh) and so I continued to play there occasionally.
A while back, I noticed that they elimated their player points buyins to real money games. Big deal, just one more reason to play elsewhere.
More recently, they elimated the SNG freerolls.
Then, their celebrity whore disappeared.
What? No celebrity whore? OK, I'm outta there.
But when I tried to cash out, I noticed that they had no payment processors listed on my cashier withdrawal page. Oh well, I'll just take the bank draft - which was the only choice - and wait a couple months.
Then after pressing the withdraw button, I received an message indicating some error in my account profile. It was my birth date, which... | | Read Entire Entry |
