I signed on to Powerplayer.com to play a SNG today, clicked register on the $10+1 tourney, and a message popped up telling me I don't have enough $$ for that game.
I checked the balance at the bottom of the screen and it is at $1.86, I had $231 4 days ago the last time I played. I also have $200 in outstanding checks that I am still waiting on.
I checked my ring game and tournament history and there has been absolutely no activity since June 4, the last time I played.
I have already sent 3 e-mails to support in the last 10 minutes, but it's looking like I am screwed. I did a google search for "powerplayer.com, missing money", and several forums popped up with people that have had 1000's of dollars come up missing on the site in the past 2 weeks.
Stay away from there.

Oh that's a very bad situation! I hope you get your money back, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope  I've seen this happen before at online casinos and I know someone who got screwed out of ~$25K that he won on a jackpot.

They sent me an e-mail saying it is being investigated....So I guess at least they are responding.
If I get it back, first thing I'm doing is withdrawing it all to NETELLER and moving a portion of it to another site, and just keeping having the rest deposited into my bank account.
$200 has pissed me off, I couldn't imagine 25K...

I don't want to be negative here, but their reply is not necessarily a good sign frankly. The casinos I saw do this to others did the same thing. Lots of lip service, no action. But definitely take it out to neteller the second you see it hit. And keep on them, ask every day if necessary.

I hear about this kind of thing happening a lot more lately it seems.
Not to go off on a rant, but, I wish the Fed would get off the dime and legalize AND REGULATE this industry. |

Found this site and signed up to speak with others who are going through the same thing.
Seems like this is a frequent thing on this site for the past few weeks.

Is that one of those guys who were caught with multiple accounts who had their accounts frozen? I just read about that recently in some magazing or other that I can't seem to locate now.

No no, those guys were total scumbag cheaters and deserved everything that happened to them.
This was a legit player at an online casino who hit a jackpot.

Did the site just shut down or something without paying out? Curious how this has stayed quiet. Quote: |
