Getting to the bottom of empire account closures
 

Let's try to get to the botton of this. Would love to hear from the people who have had accounts closed at empire.

1) Do you have accounts at multiple party skins?

2) If you play at multiple party skins, which site do you also have accounts at?

3) Do you only play at empire when bonuses are offered?

4) If you only play at empire during bonuses, what limits do you typically play?

5) Do you have more then one account at empire?

Let's see if any trend emerges from this....

I cant speak for someone who has had thier account closed but I have ONE account at Party, Empire, PokerNow(as of today), InterTops, and MultiPoker. None of them have rakeback [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] but I only play at them when there is a reload and I was able to log into my Empire account. Also, when there is a reload I pretty much play strictly $1/$2 and $25 NL

6) Did you whore the IGM based casinos (Starluck/Planetluck)?

Re: Getting to the bottom of empire account closures
 

would it be worth it to still sign up for rakebacks once i get accounts are the party skins that i dont have!

Re: Getting to the bottom of empire account closures
 

7a) (very important, imo) Do you have rakeback set up with an affiliate?
7b) Did your affiliate get his rakeback axed in the recent affiliate crack down?

I wouldn't be surprised if the common factor would be that players using the Empire 500 bonus got their accounts killed.

OK, lemme see if I can answer all of these, plus the supplemental questions.

1). I have an account at Party and all five skins (Empire, Intertops, MultiPoker, PokerNow and EuroBet).

2). I don't know the difference b/w this and number 1, but I play at all the skins.

3). Usually yes, ring games for sure. However, I do play some MTT and Sit and goes while working off a bonus and have on a handful of occasions deposited money solely to play a MTT when not working off a bonus, but I don't play ring games unless on a bonus.

4). Typically 50 cent/1 dollar and 1/2. Occasionally, but rarely 2/4.

5). Honestly, NO I do not.

6.) I have whored both PlanetLuck and Starluck.

7.) I have never signed up anywhere under an affiliate, so no.

Surely this seems like a weird way for Empire to deal with whoring accounts; why not just adopt the CON model, label people "bonus abusers" and allow them to generate rake while ineligible for reloads?

Can you explain what this is? I've never heard of it.

Re: Getting to the bottom of empire account closures
 

good follow up questions... im trying to find the common denominator of those who have received the email. though... now that i think about it maybe this thread would be more helpful as a poll because i dont think many would answer 5 truthfully in an open forum. if someone were to construct a poll (hint hint) be sure to include a "i have not gotten an account closure email from empire" with each question so people dont speed through the poll just to see the results. who wants to construct the poll??
