Dear: SOL(made up)

Thank you for your email. I'm sorry for any inconveniences that this may have caused, but unfortunately it could take a lot more time for you to get an answer from our security department, try are trying to solve all the issues right now, they will contact you as soon as they can.
Is very hard for me to speculate why your account has been closed, but I can tell you that it was not only your account; more than 2000 accounts/images/graemlins/shocked.gif were close last night.

Thanks for playing at Absolute Poker! If there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know. We're here for you!

I would email them and say that there is a rumor spreading quickly throughout the internet that they are having cashflow problems and are no longer accepting cashout requests.

That'll get their attention...

Keep us informed...

I withdrew 2000 from absolute 48hours ago and hit hasnt hit my account either. i emailed support, and they told me it takes 48 hours to proccess withdrawls. So I am very worried hearing this recent news, but my account is not closed. Hopefully the money hits my account in the next day or two.

I made a $550 cashout on the 19th and it hasn't hit my account either. I'll keep everyone updated. BTW I still have several hundred left in the account, that I continue to play with.

My experience has been that anything you deposit is pretty quick getting back to Neteller....any extra can take up to 48 hours.

My last withdrawal was on April 16th for $1,000 and took 22 hours to get to Neteller. About 20 hours is the average looking back 2 months.

i deposited 1000
in the history section it says in process for a 1000 withdraw and a 500 withdraw. this will really make me mad if i have to wait awhile to get this money.

HiLo2pac
04-20-2005, 10:08 PM
lol, that's the thing. I don't cheat.


I don't even use poker tracker or any of the other cheating stuff.

I cashed out $200 last week and got it. I only have $70 left inthere. but was pissed they would not tell me why my account was locked. I made an effeort for them to ask anything they need from me to clear up the error. thank god I'm just a fish and not 2 whales in this thread who are down $3,500 together /images/graemlins/cool.gif


I liked AP a lot the last four weeks. and like the people there. today just pissed me off

My account is fine too...

But let's at least try to separate ourselves from communist and other forms of totalitarian government and assume people are innocent until proven guilty.
2000 is a lot of accounts to close all at once. It's at least conceivable that one of them may have been a false positive.

HiLo2pac
04-20-2005, 10:22 PM
anyone can go ask them. that 2,000 accounts closed isn't made up. I swear to whoever you believe in, that I did not cheat, or bonus whole , ect.


this is why I'm pissed. if I was cheating, I wouldn't be posting here right now

the only thing i can think of. is maybe they deleted 2,000 accounts for peopel who have more than one account there. i might have joined 2 years ago for a freeroll tourny. But I never played for real money there.

ANY2CARDZ
04-20-2005, 10:43 PM
Im just hoping they have changed their system, or being stubborn and slow. My account hasnt been closed, so i cant imagine my cashout is being delayed becuase of bonuswhoring, I have reloaded several times lately, for the bonuses. I dont think that should be an issue though, considering how many they offer. Ill let everyone know once the withdrawl hits my account.

not to be mean, but i find it funny how people always start their threads as being indignant and completely clueless as to why they are having problems. then as things progress, and we get toward the end, terms like, "maybe" and "might" creep in. and they refer to such things as 2 accounts at the same site.
oh, well...maybe i might be a little cynical.

I'm just trying to warn some, just in case s-h---i-t is going down

like I said. I like playing there and will play there still once my account get's unlocked. I('m just pissed for wasting a day on getting the runaround

Keep what up? I have MY MONEY in an account with Absolute which is now locked. I play at the micro limits so I am not some scammer or cheater. I am not the only one with problems. Take a hike if you have nothing else to say besides that you think we are lying.

Does anyone have a number for Absolute...there is nothing on their website and so far zero email response. If you are going to lock someone's account should you not at least send an email to them informing them of this.

lol

If you are lying, it's important for me to point it out.
I have yet to see one person I actually know on this forum make this claim. You better believe that if 2,000 accounts were really closed, we would be hearing from at least one of them.

Why hasn't anyone else besides you two had these problems?
I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but I'll keep an open mind.

P.S.
If you actually are trying to pull one over on the Zoo, it's only fair that someone be critical of your attempt.

If you aren't making all this up, we still have to be able to believe the story. I'm sorry if you're not prepared to deal with a little disbelief. But that's exactly what is warranted with claims like this, and you had better get used to it.

Okay?

That's actually pretty normal. Unless they still don't have their money after a week or so, the site isn't really doing much wrong besides being slow. So far I haven't even seen a 72 hour delay posted.

But that is still COMPLETELY different than saying your account is locked. By my count I see only 2 people who have said this, and you are one of them.

Call me when something significant happens which doesn't involve you, the OP, or an account started within the last week.

Next, I want to see ANYONE else confirm this 2,000 person thing. From my experience, they are not going to just give players this kind of information.

I just checked my account and everything looks fine; although it did kinda hang up when loading the cashier screen. Perhaps they are checking to see who is scamming them by using multiple accounts, and as a result the cashouts are taking longer than usual. FWIW I have never had a problem with Absolute, except for the quirky software.

I'm just going to go out on some ridiculous whim, well, because I can, and say that Absolute is most likely closing down because they suck and are losing money faster than they are making it. That is why they are unloading obscene amounts of bonuses like no other site and now the closing of sites. In a while they may start slowly closing down all acounts to phase it out.

Some of you are failing to realize that just because a site isn't as big as Party doesn't mean that they aren't making a s***load of money.

I imagine that the reason for the slow cashouts is that they are reviewing each one more closely to look for possible chip dumping due to the recent fraud. Anyone who has won a good deal of money and paid a low amount of rake might be subject to extra review.

Did anyone who made a withdraw on the 19th or later, receive it yet?

I add my name to those who have not received their cashout request (mine was April 18th). It is not good that so many routine midweek cashouts are still pending at this late date.

Absolute, get your act together!

I have access to my account, no problems. If you are an honest player I don't think there are any problems with AP. My guess is that the accounts being closed and investigated are in that situation for a good reason. Hope you learned a lesson.

You gotta be kidding, Mr. Judgemental, there. 2000 accounts? So The Online Poker Cheating Underground just got busted. And they were all playing at Absolute Poker. Go join the war on drugs.

[/ QUOTE ]

No they simply flagged all suspicous accounts and froze cashouts while they are investigating everything.

[/ QUOTE ]

I understand this. I don't believe that what he is calling good reason is the same as my version of good reason. Dopey there seems to believe that Absolute caught 2000 cheaters yesterdays, rofl.

I just checked my account and everything looks fine; although it did kinda hang up when loading the cashier screen. Perhaps they are checking to see who is scamming them by using multiple accounts, and as a result the cashouts are taking longer than usual. FWIW I have never had a problem with Absolute, except for the quirky software.

For what it's worth: I remember clearing a bonus there many months ago. I was constantly trying to check the cashier page because it was taking so long to clear. The cashier page seemed to hang a lot back then as well.

Not always. Touch and go.

They had a promo yesterday or a few days ago for a free 10$ some retards exploited it and made a ton of accounts and started chip dumping, just wait until it gets worked out if you guys didnt do any chip dumping u have nothing to worry about.

[/ QUOTE ]

I got the free 10 more than a year ago. I think it's an ongoing promotion open for everyone without an account already. You just email them with the words "free10" or something like that after you set up your account. Then it's credited.

Since they don't ask for verification, I suppose opening a thousand false accounts to get and to dump the 10 bucks off of would not be to much of a hassle.

Any middle school kid could pull this one off I suppose. As long as they had at least one legit account to dump to quickly that could do the withdrawal.

I made two withdrawal requests just over 48 hours ago on the 19th, and neither has been completed. And no, I do not have more than one account and am not involved in any fraudulent behavior, for those that question the legitimacy of anything that has not already effected them.

I called 1-866-788-3005 and spoke to a reasonably courteous, reasonably honest person and 60 minutes later 2K was in my Neteller account. Initially I was told it would be there within 12 hours but when I explained that it had already been over 48 hours he said that it would need to be cleared by the Security Dept. first. I asked to go directly to them and he said they would not be available until 11AM Eastern Time. I said I would call back then. I also tried to pin him down on every detail (in a respectful way) and made clear that I would be following up on this in whatever way (through proper channels) necessary. Your mileage may vary. Good luck.

i got an e-mail saying that i had $10 free waiting for me the next time i logged in. so, i logged in and sure enough my balance was $10. cool, but i don't play absolute any more, and i'm not going to deposit any money there to play at my normal limits.

so i sat down at a $25NL table and went all-in preflop on every hand until my A5 got busted by someone with 33. it was fun...a lot of fun really. everyone was all riled up and pissed off at me for pushing preflop 4 hands in a row. good times. like tapping a beehive or something.

I just started playing there a week ago, and withdrew all my funds 2 days ago(small 25% profit /images/graemlins/laugh.gif). I have heard so much about there lighting fast payouts I figured I would have the funds that night...nothing for 2 days.
So thanks to whoever gave there phone number - I called them. At first they seemed rather hush hush, but then i asked some questions, and they said it would hit my neteller in under 1 hour. I will report back the results, but After this I mentioned that there were rumors they were closing accounts out in mass. She laughed and said no, that was not true at all. I will let you all know if I get the cash. BTW I have only 1 account, and have no flags for anykind of strange activity. Unless you count calling an all-in from a maniac with an underpair "odd" /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I just called Absolute to find out why cash outs are delayed. The guy could not tell me exactly why, but hinted that some people took advantage of a promotion a couple of days ago. Because of this, Absolute has had to take extra security measures with cashouts. He told me my money would be in Neteller by tomorrow.

i just called and was told that due to an increase of players cashouts are taking longer now. Kinda bull crap since i just want my money. Should be automated to realease atleast what you deposited and then they can investigate your winnings or what ever.

Anyone want to take bets they've "upgraded" the software again?

FWIW, I just logged in and withdrew $600 (leaving $550 plus waaaaaaay too much bonus $$). I've whored the account. I withdraw every week and deposit every week. No problems. If it isn't in my account by Monday I'll be shocked (next chance I'll have to look after tonight).

It usually is in my Neteller account in 24hrs or less. I think my longest was 48. I'll be leaving sometime Sat morning and won't be back until late Sunday/early Monday. If I don't have money in Neteller by then I'll call and ask what's the deal.

I know you are fine with it, as it's perfectly reasonable.

I cashed out Tuesday morning and still waiting for it to hit neteller. All Absoulte will tell me is there is a delay. I tried to get an explanantion or an ETA on when they would have it fixed but they just reply back with there is a delay.

I'm starting to think there could be a delay. LOL!

Its now the 22. I'm furious to say the least. Oh well, going to watch a movie and hope the money comes tomorrow.

Another person here who's waiting on a 1k+ cashout. But unlike some of you, I only initiated my cashout on the 21st, but still it shouldn't be taking this long. Did anyone else have any luck getting a faster cashout by calling the number?

I cashed out 1K on the 21st as well. It has been over 48 hours, so I called. A guy said there was an 80% chance it would be in my neteller account by the afternoon. No idea where he came up with that number but I will report back when I get the money.

04-23-2005, 11:31 AM
Mine hasn't been 48 hrs yet, so I'll refrain from calling till at least that much time has passed. Hopefully, my cashout will arrive at about the same time MrG's does.

I cashed out $475 on 4/17 and have yet to receive my money at Neteller. Am getting the runaround via e-mail from their customer support. My account there is still open, I still have $75 in it, and I've continued playing tournaments (freeroll and paid). Not sure what to do to get my money...

grimel

These are getting harder to believe.

Apr 18 request $800, in Neteller Apr 19. Redeposit late Apr 20 (yet another AP bonus).

Apr 22 request $600, in Neteller Apr 23.

AP is not even close to Party and Games Grid for speed, but, they aren't that big either.

I cashed out $500 on Thursday, and it hit my Neteller on Sunday. True, this is a little longer than normal, but I'm not alarmed.

If anything, this whole thread should get some of the 2+2 TAG's off the site and make the games better.

I'll be back. The bonuses are just too good.
