Default 72 Dollars

Hey,

Long story short...Signed up for a 3-table $20 Eurobet tourney.

Details at website say 4th place gets $72, and I took 4th.

They wont pay me as they said only the top 3 get paid and there was an error on the website.

Thoughts?

Withdraw your money from their website, tell them you are moving to party poker, and you hope that they and all the other skins go bust by new years.

Its pretty standard fare for a company to honor what they put into print. I'm pretty surprised about this.

News flash: Eurobet is now a PokerRoom skin. They can fvck with their entire player base left and right(they have) and still won't go anywhere by New Years.

UPDATE:

After MANY emails to regular customer service, I finally got them to give me the poker managers email addy.

He first said no to giving me the $72.

But I then told (threatened?) him that I would post exactly what happened in multiple forums that reach thousands of poker players.

And that if even 5% decided no to play there as a result, the loss in rake would be much > $72.

His next response was to credit me the $72.

Tell them your plan: trash talking them everywhere you can post. Promise them $1000 worth of bad press. E-mail tath threat every day.

Might be worth $30/hr. Might bust out. But I always make an effort to f over any outfit that clearly screws me. Inrternet-based businesses are very vulernable.

I was pretty surprised by this as well.

They have now twice said that they will not pay. They refunded me the $22 buyin.

To me, this is unacceptable. I played according to the fact that I was in the money. The website STILL (as of earlier today at least) says 4th = $72.

Aww well, it is only $72, but still. $72 is $72.

Hey man,
If you take a screen shot, and I see it, pm me, and let me look at it. I'm an affiliate and did 26K MGR last month alone on one site. So if I take it up with them they usually treat me different than other people (yes I know that's not right, but it's the way it is). I don't think it's right what they did to you and would be willing to step up to bat for you if you provide a screenshot.
