Empire gives me the boot

alimomoney · #1 05-04-2005, 10:12 PM

I've played at Empire for 3 or 4 years. Not a lot, but always when Empire offers a reload bonus. I haven't played there for maybe 3 weeks since their last reload bonus. I cleared and cashed out. Last night, I get a message from paypro saying I had to call them or my account would be blocked. (Which account, Party? Empire? MultiPoker? or ?)

I call, give them my account name and say I have to email vip@empirepoker.com. So I write and get a reply that my account has been closed for "business reasons" and the decision is final. I write back and ask why. No response. All I can think is that they are booting bonus whores.

I wouldn't be surprised if they kill my account also. I mostly play there for reload bonuses. It's not like I am a valued customer, quite the opposite.

can they ban your ip address? Currently, what is to stop someone from making 20 accounts and just whoring the sign-up bonus anyway? Not that *I* would ever do such a thing, but if I did what kind of trouble could I get into i wonder?

At the very least they are tracking your IP address, if not your MAC address too.

You can probably set up 20 accounts but they'll never let you cashout any of them. The first time you try to cash one out they will freeze them all and confiscate the funds.

Were you at least able to recover your funds?

I'm the opposite of this -- I play all the time at Empire, and only do the reloads at Party, so I'll be interested in seeing if I get my party account locked (especially since I just set myself up as an affiliate there).
