Dear *,

As you probably are aware, PokerNow is partnered with IGM Global Media to provide poker facilities and software, along with player management, to PokerNow. This is what you probably know as "Party Poker". Recently, IGM has begun an audit of suspicious account activity for PokerNow. This involves what's known as "rakeback", in which the affiliate, *My affilate's name here*, pays you a portion of his affiliation bonus every month. This "rakeback" breaks IGM Global Media's Terms of Service that your affiliate agreed to.

During this audit, periodic payments from an affiliated account have been detected. As these actions are against the Terms of Service that your affiliate agreed to, PokerNow has suspended your playing account temporarily. This temporary suspension will last approximately 10 business days while we conclude the investigation. If it is in fact confirmed that payments were made to your account fradulently then IGM will permanently revoke your affiliation status and remove *My affiliate's name here* as a PokerNow affiliate. This will in no way affect funds stored in your PokerNow account. However, you will not be able to access your funds stored at PokerNow while the investigation is ongoing. This is only a precautionary measure as funds recovery from these illegal transactions will likely not be necessary. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Thank you,

PokerNow management

Well, at least I'm not getting charged for previous rakeback.

What the [censored] are they talking about here? Funds recovery? It's my [censored] money they're holding hostage. If I can't withdraw, I'm [censored]. That's 20 grand they've got of mine.

I got a little bit more information from IGM when I contacted them about this. He said that rake payments from IGM to Intertops and Eurobet have both been cancelled, and Eurobet's CEO decided to close both its sportsbook and poker room to american customers, that'll apparently happen within the next 3 weeks. Intertops might have complained because their float wasn't enough as an excuse for the bonus whoring, but the truth is they're out of scratch living week to week. The world's going to end. Also, the Cryptos just released a new software update that I verify to be the best poker software ever. And both Absolute and UltimateBet clearing requirements are 1 raked hand per dollar of bonus. Also, UltimateBet is a fish farm, and PokerStars has a 100% up to a 1000 first deposit bonus.

All of which is complete BS and completely false. Where the hell do people come up with this?

EDIT: Normally I wouldn't bother responding to trash like this, but this guy has 570 posts.

Someone tell me this is BS please. I'm already panicking from the pokernow fiasco. I have 5k in eurobet. Do I need to take that out too?

haha, I think the last part is a joke. Kind of a "what next, hell freezes over, and Absolute bonuses are easy to clear, etc"

This is a lame ass joke for three reasons:

1. The last thing we needed was another thread on this issue.

2. Now a bunch of idiots are going to start new threads in response to this one.

3. It wasn't anywhere near funny.

We can be sure of that. I'm glad I'm going to Vegas for a week. Hopefully when I get back everyone will be done crying about their rakeback accounts.

do everyone here a favor hate, and clear up which parts (if any) of your msg are true and which are not. Was the PokerNow part true?? If so, it sheds a little light on the situation.

I'm assuming everything else is horsepoop.

It's all a prank duder, I thought the last part would reveal that. But I love all this rumormongering, it makes me cream my pants. What kind of a goddamn retard would believe anybody from Party would revoke your funds?

Thanks Granny, of course no alcohol...It will be my first time there amazingly and will certainly cause my bankroll to go up dramatically, or fall dramatically. One of the two anyway...

I didn't fall for it, and I only play PN for reloads, so I don't care much either way. Your prank is lame, and you are lame for posting it and wasting everyone's time.

Then stop [censored] responding, assjockey. It's you and every other rumormonger sitting around here sucking your own thumbs passing around shitty rumors about what the [censored] you're going to do if OH NOES MY ToS-BREAKING SOURCE OF INCOME WILL CEASE. I couldn't care less why you play at pokernow, you're the one that keeps bumping this.

And you just bumped it again in the hopes of trying to cover up your original post being lame. Which it was. Pranks are lame. Your post was lame. Cut the [censored] and don't do it again. You can muster all the bravado you want, and still your original post will be a lame prank which shouldn't have been posted.

Continue to post all the ego you want. There is nothing you can say that will not make your original post/prank lame.
