Has anybody heard of or have any experience of this outfit?

They have an Approved List (http://www.onlineplayersassociation.co.uk/pokerroomapproval.html) of poker rooms although it currently features only two. Approval costs $2,500 a year and the site gets "Independant [sic] monitoring of service and standards of ... operation", "Standard website links" and "Independant [another sic - with these fees, can't these guys hire a proof reader?] dispute mediation".

It all sounds very worthy - although subject to grave doubts as to the depth, competence and independence of their monitoring. At least they can't be worse than the mohawks of Kahnawankee.

One of their approved sites, ICP.

They have this to say: "First class customer support." *cough* bullshit *cough*

Sounds like for $2,500 you just get some advertising.

From my days with online casinos, whenever you say the "OPA" on anything, run for the exits!!!!
