(OT) Party just closed both of my accounts and I am out $8,000
 

So I had recently opened a new account so I could have a new name. Somehow party knew I did this and didn't like it. I have never been logged onto both accounts at once or anything like cheating. When I tried to log-in today it said my account ahd been closed, for both accounts. I am in a panic right now. I got an e-mail saying I can verify my account by faxing a photocopy of my ID, but I am scared my money is gone for good. This is horrible. months and months of playing down the drain in a flash. WOW

Please anyone tell me I have a chance at getting the money back.

Do as they say dude. the moneys not gone if your not frauding them.

Maybe they closed it for overreacting.

So your saying that a closed account is more like a frozen account. I had visions of them jsut dumping my account's money into a giant gold-plated vault in costa rica. What about my secondary account? Is that all gone?

They've taken your money and divded it up amongst the rest of the Party Poker players. $.006 for all of us!

They just updated the doom switch to royally screw over people who complain about "running bad" too much.

Dude.

You're being *very* unDude.

to the OP: relax a little, you should be fine once they get the IDs.

Re: (OT) Party just closed both of my accounts and I am out $8,000
 

Chances are very high that you will get to keep the 8K, whether or not you get to continue to have one of these accounts at party is not so clearly determined.

I say this from previous experience with party.

Of course I'm not making a guarantee, just making an estimate here based on my past experience. Of course things do change over time, there are a million different factors at work and anything could happen. That said, the above is indeed my estimate of the situation.

Good luck.

Re: (OT) Party just closed both of my accounts and I am out $8,000
 

Regardless of how likely it is that you'll get your money, I think you are entitled to a little panic on this one.

I wouldn't keep more than is necessary in my Party account. You don't get interest for one thing.

Ya happened to me at Pokerroom. Did you pretend to be 2 different people?

Re: (OT) Party just closed both of my accounts and I am out $8,000
 

Why people don't take advantage of the 24 hour (non)-customer service that Party offers, I will never understand.

For God's sake, pick up your phone and call them.

You can change your screen name in your account menu on the Party website.

But that doesn't give you R******k, which no doubt is the real reason for a 2nd account.

Re: (OT) Party just closed both of my accounts and I am out $8,000
 

Finally you have a downswing worth bitching about.

Same thing happened to me, I fixed it the next day (with rb). No sweat. It's really not healthy for you to be this high-strung.

Re: (OT) Party just closed both of my accounts and I am out $8,000
 

moral of the story: before creating a new username, cash out a big chunk first.

Re: (OT) Party just closed both of my accounts and I am out $8,000
 

Exactly, you can up to 48K on Neteller.

Still no interest,

but much much safer to locate a stack here than in any poker-room, for sure !!

Re: (OT) Party just closed both of my accounts and I am out $8,000
 

just cooperate with them, if they took your money and you did nothing wrong, that would be bad business.

Re: (OT) Party just closed both of my accounts and I am out $8,000
 

Its cool.

When I first started playing I started two accounts, referring myself for all the bonuses. Account got closed pretty fast, but all I needed to do was to call them and they transfered it all to one of the accounts.

If you want to open another account for any reason be sure to mail them first and ask them to freeze your existing account first. It works, I've done it.

Re: (OT) Party just closed both of my accounts and I am out $8,000
 

similar thing happenned to me, they recognise your ip address, so they know you have 2 accounts.

you need them to wipe out one of the accounts in order to allow you to keep playing

Re: (OT) Party just closed both of my accounts and I am out $8,000
 

this thread is useless STOP SUCKING

[/ QUOTE ] Yep. In this exact situtation. They were very helpful.

[/ QUOTE ] Well, yes, I do (but I suspect that most of their operators don't). My support person and I typically chat in English. Most of them speak better English than your average two plus two poster uses to post. No emoticons either. That's a huge imporvement.

[/ QUOTE ] Granted I don't call during outages but I have probably made ten support calls to Party in the last year and the combined wait time of all calls hasn't been three minutes.

[/ QUOTE ] Assuming OP has the capability to fax from home and isn't acting fraudulently I would guess he could have solved this problem with Party support in less time than it took him to type yet another hysterical, paranoid post.
