Did you file a complaint with SBR??? SB.com has been slowpaying/bouncing checks for awhile...

Hi,

I only play poker at Stars, Full Tilt, Ultimetbet & Only have horse accounts at reputable ADW's. What's with all you folks that
deposit money to questionable sites? Play on a reputable site and you won"t be posting about not getting paid.

Regards,

Yeah, only play at top rated books. The other books are for suckers. Click on the SBR banner above, those are all quality books.

Given that UltimateBet had the largest cheating scandal ever in online poker, and that their management was clearly complicit in stealing players' money, I am not sure how you can post that you only play at reputable sites.

Ultimetbet has never stiffed me on a payout, so as far as I'm
concerned they are reputable.

I may be wrong sir, if so correct me please.

Ultimate Bet owner/management was not involved in the cheating scandal...they attempted to brush it under the rug so as not to lose business when it was discovered. They also payed millions in restitution, which means something in my book.

Hmmmm...I guess I should recommend that Madoff fund then, as he never stole from me. Any good FutureBet books out there I should be playing?

Its far too complex to actually know for sure. The management at the time of the cheating was either directly involved or criminally negligent. They have since claimed a change of ownership and management, but the string of corporations, sub-corporations, etc. owning one another makes it impossible to know who is truly running the show. It could conceivably be the same folks who did the cheating.

They have paid millions in restitution to players who were robbed, but as you noted, they tried to avoid this for quite some time.

If you're satisfied with your funds there, more power to you, but 99% of the poker sites out there significantly more toutable as "reputable".
