Why doesn't True allow money transfer between players?

[DOTTT]

I was hoping to play in the coming tournament on True, but I’m reluctant to deposit any money because of the lack of games there. Drphysic offered to do a money swap for me, but it turned out True doesn't allow you to transfer any money. Anyone know why?

I have been told that even Party shouldn't do it, as it is in some violation of KGC policies. However, it has happened so much, that I question that. Even Stars, who said they didn't do affiliate payments based on Rake, allow transfers.

Golden Palace insists they are not allowed to transfer, and I do not believe Prima allows them. However, True does transfers for side bets for Zoo events...perhaps if you made a bet, they would be able to transfer??

The e-mail i received indicated that this is something they plan to add to their software soon, just don't have it done yet.

1.) Why would lack of games make you reluctant to deposit there? They have enough action to keep the site worth visiting IMO.

2.) if you email support, they'll usually do the transfer for you.

I think GP conveniently decides what they can and can't do around what they do and don't FEEL like doing.

They claim that they are REQUIRED to have ID verification before cashing out to Neteller. However, they are licensed by KGC just like most other online sites and all the major sites require NO verification. I highly doubt every poker site is breaking the rules except GP.

Now this? Party, Paradise and Stars(and to some capacity, TruePOker) all allow account transfers. UB and Prima do not, but I've never heard that they CAN'T, just that they WON'T.


I think GP is jerking us around saying we CAN'T do this or that when the major sites are allowed to do it. Their BS reasons have always pissed me off.

Cracker,
I mostly play sng's in the 30-50 range, and from what I've heard there aren’t many of those at True. Am I wrong here? I would definitely consider depositing for this event, however my options are limited as I don’t have a Neteller account and I'm not planning on opening one. I usually send a Western Union transfer or check when making a deposit. True doesn't accept WU transfers either. I've contacted support but they haven’t replied yet.

Why not???

[DOTTT]

I was a member on Neteller a while back they froze my account, and wouldn't pay up for a month. Not that the amount was significant it was something like $500, but I really got upset because of the way they handled the situation. Since then I've found it easier to send a check or do a WU transfer.

This you have heard correctly. There are 6+1, 10+1 and 20+2 SnGs there some single table, some 2 table but they don't fill super quickly and 20 player max 20+2s can take quite a while at time. So that does make sense. They accept Neteller and require no ID crap or anything so if you use that to buyin its really not a hassle. Cashouts are reasonable and in the 24-36 hr range. If you do want to transfer, have both players email their support and if you make sure to let them know its for the SS/Zoo tourney, I'm sure they won't have problems. I like True (as you can probably tell) but also wish they had more games. The 5-10 and 10-20 have been going rather regurlarly I've seen though.

i am 95% certain they will allow transfers and, if i am correct, i will happily transfer the $22 to you if you transfer same to me at stars

let me know and i'll ask mr True-man
