Good to see the new management has done the right thing. May take a long time, if ever, to build up a solid reputation given the now well-known underhanded actions of their predecessors. Paying back cheated customers is an important first step though...

Dog, I am sincerely happy you got paid.
I was always amazed at the points you racked up on the leader board thing. Also, if memory serves, we had a geographic proximity (before I moved to Changoistan).
Thanks for the kind words.
I played amazing hours to get that many points. I started out playing $2/$4 originally and probably did 50 hours/week (four tabling) the first time I won the leader board. After I saw how many points people were getting at $5/$10, I moved up and got the points a bit easier. I often still played 40 hours in a week four tabling. I figured if I played every available moment (in addition to my job), I could get a maximum of about 60,000 points per month. Fortunately, I never needed more than about half of that to win.
I'll miss the leader board contest. It was a good idea for a promotion to encourage an insane amount of play. They still made a healthy profit on me due to the extreme amount of rake I was paying. When O... | | Read Entire Entry |

One of the first things we noticed upon taking possession is the inability of players to sit at real-money tables or tournaments—they are told either that they need to upgrade to a real-money account or deposit funds into their account, and they usually have done both.

I had over $26,000 on there before I cashed out for the first time and thought nothing of it. And I assure you I don't keep the majority of my working capital at any one site.
Can't imagine any game on the Ongame network that would warrant a $26K bankroll. Maybe $50/$100 limit, but I don't see games that high very often at Ongame.
A few folks have reported losing $6K or less. Most of the others report $2K or less missing. I haven't seen anyone claiming a loss near $26K. I stand by my hunch that $30K would cover most of their players. | | Static Link |

I think all the skins are owned by different groups. The problem is that Futurebet is willing to provide a cashier service even for skins that aren't financially solid. So some skins like FCP are still fine even though they use Futurebet, while others might be shady. Since Futurebet is willing to work for any skin no questions asked, you just can't be sure.

futurebet is a casino group I believe. They have their own casino software but use the ongame poker software. Futurebet apparently handles most/all? of the financial transaction for their group of skins (couple dozen or so I think, and most are very small). This is where the backlogs occur. Though full contact poker is a futurebet skin and transactions haven't been a problem so I don't know what the full story is.

Not sure if I would call it a scam. At least not yet.
Has ANYONE owed money in this thread been paid yet?
If not, I find it hard to believe that they paid out $30,000 and didn't pay anyone in this thread. PowerPlayer was a smallish site. I would suspect that $30,000 would cover most (if not all) of their players. Just a hunch. It is cheap to make a post claiming lots of payouts have been made (with more to continue). Doing so and then dropping out of sight doesn't inspire confidence. Nonetheless, this is still our best hope. | | Static Link |

I talked to old owner last Monday. He seemed more concerned about negative comments made by me about him in this thread (???) than my $5,011. For the hundredth time, he promised me my money within a day or two. He claimed to have talked to new owner and that I was one of the next ones to be paid.

New owners: TTIS (IOM)
Let’s start from the beginning
TTIS was handed over powerplayer on June 16. . When we completed our transaction we did not know that the contract with Ongame network was terminated, and we were never told. We have tried very hard to have http://www.ongamenetwork.com/partners/ And www.real.ca that was managing and handling all the money transactions to pay all the players and turn the software back on for real money. Ongame is being very difficult, they won’t return our calls or even respond to an E-mail and forces us to take legal action .At this point we have been paying everyone, Just in the first week we payed out over $30,000.00 please read some of the other boards.
