pokercards81 asked:


Hey I just wanted to say I really did receive the money promised back from a rakeback site called PokerUniversity.org

I used Absolute Poker and I got some back, does anyone else do this with other sites? The site I used was www.pokeruniversity.org

Does PartyPoker do this?

What will the ramifications be of not paying an owed gambling debt to a MAJOR ONLINE poker site?

January 13th, 2009
DesiPoolGod asked:


I owe around $1000 to an online poker site based offshore (will remain nameless, but one of the big ones like Absolute Poker, PartyPoker, PokerStars, Pacific Poker, etc.) I have owed this debt for many months, with no correspondence from the company asking about when I will pay it (after the initial e-mails stating how much I owed). Now I am reading about the possibility of these offshore companies soon not being allowed to accept bets in the United States.

The company did state in an e-mail to me after I inquired that they could employ a collections agency and report the debt to credit bureaus…which would ****. But the thing is…I’ve owed this debt for so long and they haven’t done anything…so I don’t know whether they’d actually do this.

Of course the moral thing would absolutely to pay. But I’d also like to save the $1000 if I were to pay it and a few weeks later the company was banned from doing business in the U.S. and thus unable to collect from me.

Any thoughts?
I used the site’s ACH/EFT system, where it takes a few days to actually deduct from your bank account. Went overboard one day and made deposits I thought I could win back.

So they didn’t give me credit per se…I just did the equivalent of writing checks for money I didn’t have.

Yes, this was stupid. Yes, I know it was wrong. Yes, I realize there was a serious problem. But let’s not turn that into the issue. I haven’t played poker in over a year and the thought of it actually repulses me now.

On that note…I should clarify that it has been much longer than the supposed 100 days before notifying credit bureaus. These transactions occurred about 17 months ago.

Hope this clarifies things. And thanks for the responses so far…keep em comin

Absolute had a problem with management stealing, FullTilt is rumored to have some issues as well. Has anyone actually had a fair run at a poker site?
