Official Message from Empire Poker
 

Dear Empire Poker Players,
Empire Poker management has decided to close accounts of few inactive players, who chose not to play on empire at all, but constantly claimed its bonuses.
All blocked accounts were chosen through very restricted ruling to prevent any active player from being harmed.
Empire Poker is known for its generous bonuses, FreeRolls and prize adding for long now. Empire does not appreciate players who take advantage of this generosity and chose to show up only to cash bonuses.

Each of the accounts closed, seemed to act according to the above and therefore was closed. However, we would like to inform that any cash that players have in their account balance will be cashed out by Empire directly back to the players.

Empire Poker will take all necessary steps to prevent players from playing only for bonuses on its tables, while keeping its active players satisfied and rewarded for their play through the VIP program, Royal Flush Club, reload bonuses, Tournament Masters program and more.

How do I know what is considered to be fraud?
Any account that shows almost zero activity between bonuses, and claims our reload bonuses continuously is subject to investigation.

If you are not playing only for bonuses, you can be safe and sound Empire Poker will continue to serve you humbly.

If you have any more concerns or suggestions please feel free to contact us.

Best regards,

Empire Poker

You can not list reload bonuses here if you consider it fraud also.

Yes you can. Reloads are designed to benefit their active players who play their all the time, not those who only come over for the bonuses.

You won't get far round here with that post count. My advice is to go and live in OOT for a few weeks and then everything you say will be gospel.

In practice this is not the case. If you want to have a loyalty scheme it has to be available only to the loyal for it to be effective.

They may also ask Matt Sklansky to post their IP address in this thread. If IP is from Empire sub-net then most likely this is legit official poster.

Doesn't matter if the guys legit. It's obvious he's delusional if he thinks players are satisfied with the VIP program.

Don't get me wrong, I'll be happy to get into it in 2009 after I play 400 hands a day for the honor.
