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?

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
