Ultimatebet play chips?

[thebroker]

If anyone has UB play money they no longer want, feel free to send it may way. Transfer to thebroker, my first name is Brandon. Thanks, I'd really appreciate it.

[Stew]

OK, something I've always wondered is why would anyone want more play chips? Can't you top that off once a day or something like that?

[thebroker]

[Stew]

What's the difference b/w $1/$2 no limit and $1000/$2000 no limit with play chips? Isn't it just a bunch of zeros?

[thebroker]

The players are better and that makes it more enjoyable.

[Stew]

Ah, I see.

[Rainbow Warrior]

Wasn't there a UB e-mail a few months back warning players about trading in play money??

This has to be the funniest post I've seen in a long time.

There was, and it was just a month ago...

I thought the e-mail was about selling/buying play chips.

[Mike Haven]

My e-mail:

dear support
i thought dealing in play chips was forbidden by you?
have a look at this post by someone at twoplustwo - maybe you should post your response there? (I gave the url.)

Their response:

Hello,
Nobody can transfer points, is against our policy. You are able to transfer playchips, and real money, but don't points. If there is anything else we can help you with please let us know.
Sincerely,
Customer Service Department



Then another response a few moments later:

Hello,
I am sorry about last email. Please let us know more about your request because we do not deal with playchips.
Sincerely,
Customer Service Department

And we happily trust these guys with our money?

Have they moved to India, too?

Scary.

Some people want to accumulate over a million play chips because they can't beat real games and they want to fantasize about being a millionaire. Then they can buy an imaginary house and pretend they have money to send their kids to college.

Some of them want to create their own reality.

[JohnShaft]

And that's UB Support Mike?!!!

Christ on a bike.

That drops my expectation of UB support resolving, what I thought was the first issue of collusion I'd ever spotted, to about Zero.

Jesus. Maybe I should go back to not playing again if this is the level of "support".
It's amazing how support, in general, has detiorated to the point that the ability to understand English is not considered important. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[JohnShaft]

The thing I don't get is it's stupid easy to accumulate gazillions of play chips.
If you can't do that, then, well, um, don't even think about winning like actual *money*. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

[thebroker]

I, like many people have 2 accounts at UB, ONLY 1 for REAL money. I normally play real money and tourneys. However I have a good friend who claims to be one of the top 1000-2000 No-limit head-up players on UB. Big WOOP! Anyway he's been wanting to play me for awhile ,but I haven't felt like building a play money BR for that game. Just figured if someone had chips they didn't want, I'd play him. As for the funny post.......it was meant to be.

[bunky9590]

Who's your friend? Chances are I busted him at least once or twice back in the day.

[Mike Haven]

this is scary on so many levels

first, and mainly, that ub management would let loose someone that can't understand english on their customers

then that the person must have read my e-mail twice and still not understood it nor had the wit to ask a colleague what i was talking about, nor been instructed by management to ask for assistance if in doubt

i am just a punter but i know of maybe five or six poker forums - imo 2+2 is the number one forum on the internet - this person works for a poker site and doesn't appear to have heard of 2+2 (it is within the url) nor even know how to click on the url provided in an e-mail

if i worked for a poker site i would make dang sure i knew about every forum on the 'net and about every other poker site's offers, software and whatever else i needed to do my job efficiently and knowledgeably

seriously, if you had a query that required their thought to resolve it, how on earth could you get past this duffer barrier?

[Mike Haven]

To be fair to them, they have just followed up the other two responses with this:

"Dear Player,

I apologize for the confusion. The support staff below obviously did not understand your question.

Players are allowed to transfer real money or play chips. What is not allowed with play chip transfers is selling them for cash. If a player wishes to send a friend a few thousand play chips for them to play a "higher stake" play chip table, we see no reason not to allow them.
