Empire Terms and Conditions

[Aytumious]

I'm not sure if this has always been the case, but confiscation of funds is pretty harsh even in the case of multiple accounts.

The funny part is the one time during my double digit badgering of them with e-mails, this is the section they quoted:

Due to that we regret to inform you that the account has been closed permanently by the Management. The process is unfortunately not reversible and we thank you for the time you played with us.

That is ridiculous. Leaving money in your account and not playing is suspicious and wrongful? What a load of crap.

Actually, after reading it again, I think they need a seperate paragraph for their GOD rule.

Note they don't have notify you and that means they don't have to justify it too you. Just to be clear though, I have only posted that it happened to me for info, I am not bitching or complaining. I fully understand why they did, it is about their bottom line. I think they could have handled it better, but why would they spend that effort on someone they are giving the boot /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well just make sure you remove all the money immediatley after clearing the bonus!

[krimson]

I never noticed the first sentence of section 17. Talk about reading the fine print /images/graemlins/wink.gif
