Morning Mr Staple.
That might just be a very clever & ironic piece of wording, because I had a liitte chunter in the thread, but I prefer to believe it was a straight & open question.
To the best of my knowledge, I'm still doing stuff on 861, but maybe their letter to me is in the post.
I did 2 Shows during UKOPS week, & my next appearance will be next Thursday, when the special Guest will be the owner of DTD, Mr Rob Yong, & he & I will be discussing the Sky Poker UK Poker Championship, & other matters of interest.
It's true I don't do as many Shows as I used to, but the Analyst Team at 861 has changed considerably in the last year, & people get confused by this. Think of it as being like the squad system in Football - more players being available makes the team stronger, & so the players try that bit harder.
Does sound like it maybe a card issue m8. When Ulster bank's computer system crashed a while back for about a month I couldn't use their bank card so used my account at another bank. When I came to withdraw from my account "SKY" insisted I make at least one withdrawal into the account I'd used for the deposit. When I queried it with them they said it was to prevent fraud.. ok no big deal, maybe PKR have similar guidelines as regards deposit/withdrawals... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm counting those exclamation marks, you know......
That scenario you explained would be perfectly standard, & normal, on almost any Online Gaming Site, & with good reason.
I'm pretty sure that is where K8's problem lies. A quick & civilised chat with PKR's CC people should soon explain it. Assuming, of course, they have a CC service.
And if I may be so bold as to defend K8s use of the forum
K8 does play on sky, and is a great contributor in chat when not playing too many tables
he has had to move some of his play away from sky, contrary to his desires, due to his recent involvement with a gang of nefarious businessmen whose activities are banned on sky
hence his use of an alternative poker site for such activities, but he is still active here on sky, a tough competitor and a loyal player
so i can fully understand how he has come home to his mother site for advice on how to deal with the complications he is facing in his goal of becoming a professional poker player
also sky's software has been stress-tested and been shown to survive attacks of the punctuationally exaggerated poster, and our K8 can get a little emotional at times
now it may not be an appropriate thread from sky's perspective, and may be closed momentarily: fair enough, but until then any help for K8 is most appreciated
In Response to Re: OUTRAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : No mate, back around 7 months ago my missus deposited like 250$ off her card so I could play the masters on there for my birthday, thats all iv played over there for 7 months but I started on there last week using netteller and have made a withdrawal, been waiting 5 days for it not actually go through, not even go into my account just so its actually been approved because all its saying on it is requested, now all of a sudden this has happened.

This may be where the problem has arose......Not too sure what their rules are regarding playing on someone elses account? or did you set up a new account for yourself?

A very reasonable &, in parts, whimsically clever & amusing Post, nefarious businessmen et al, & of couse you may make so bold, Mr Been To China Man.
Note that I DID give him advice as to why I thought the problem with PKR had arisen, & how best he can sort it out. The chap on the till at Tesco rarely helps sort CC problems at Sainsburys, I would hazard a guess.
I also articulated, perfectly politely, some other random thoughts from my mind. I enjoy having these civil debates. Arguments, not so much.

From my understanding, he was still playing on his own existing account, just that the deposit came from his girlfriends card cos it was a present.

Correct, but that is not allowed on almost any (reputable) Online Gaming site, for very obvious reasons. I have Poker or Sports Betting Accounts with around 25 Sites, & none of them would allow this.

indeed you did, above and beyond and all that, and i was not surprised to see that this was immediately followed by a post suggesting you would no longer be on the show........

Have to say, thought that Post was best Post on the thread, & I still don't know if it was serious, or a gentle dig in the ribs because I'd had a sort of mini-chunter.
In the nature of Forum "fashion", just as "56p, fiasco", and "sort it out Sky" have entered the Sky Poker Community lexicon, I'm pretty sure the 20 or more exclamation marks thing will soon be added to the portfolio.
A chap I know on another Forum once made 27 consecutive Posts, each of three or 4 sentences, & every single one ended with an exclamation mark. Beat that. Perhaps he lived a very exciting life, who knows?
Another chap of my acquaintance often ends sentences with not one, but THREE question marks. Presumably, a three-part question, or perhaps the quantity of them is a measure of how serious the question is?
1? - Standard question
2?? Important question
3??? - Now listen up, this is serious.
4???? = Keyboard jammed.
To all those scratching their heads, or getting cross with me, I apologise, I'm just chilling, & having a whimsical hour.

Well that's amused me for the day - Job Done
On a more serious note.....will you be playing the UK Poker Championships in Feb or will you be attending to other Sky Poker Duties on the day? Would be great to see you at a table challenging for this prestigious event. I'm sure Mr Orford will be happy to oblige with microphone duties and trying to take down side events

LOL geldy, it really is as simple as ringing PKR cs. Poker sites like financial institutions have very tight regulations with regards to money launderingv etc. Bureaucracy is possibly the crux of this matter.
Ranting about it on here wont solve the problem. K8lou actually has to contact PKR before he can come to any conclusion.
Like lambert says I think it will be the fact that a deposit came from his wife's card. I had a similar problem when I decided to withdraw my money from another site. As i had a new bankcard I had to deposit again before I could withdraw.
I'm going to celebrate national use of excessive punctuation marks day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a little embarrassed to say that I agree with you TK, embarrassed because that make me feel like an old grump ;-), but as a former literature student this kind of thing (and text speak) really winds me up too.
On the other hand though - we now live in world that is a lot 'louder' than it used to be and I don't just mean because we now have more us physically crammed into urbanised areas but also because technology now constantly intrudes on our lives like Big Brother with social media and advertising constantly fighting for 1 split second of our attention. I think this is where this tendency to over punctuate stems from - people feel like they now have to be so excessive to try and reach out over all of the other constant buzz.
It's like the crazy serial killer said in Se7en:
'wanting people to listen you cant just tap them on the shoulder anymore, you have to hit them with a sledgehammer'
And the overly dramatic punctuation and choice of word did after all succeed in getting both of us to pay enough attention to ignore all the other posts competing for it and prompt us to click on this one.
Cheers for all the advice guys !!!!!! (there ya go tikay) I tend to use A lot of explanation marks in any sentence I write for some strange reason, anyways, I had already spoke to the live support team and they told me I needed to upload all my documentation so I did,they told me this matter would be sorted within a few hours, so after a few hours I got decided to speak with them again and they informed me that it would take 3 to 5 working days for my account to be reopened, this was the matter I was refering too. They also would not refund me of a 100$ buy in tournement and a 20$ buy in tournement that was running, I couldnt get onto my account and I couldnt play these mtts so I had just lost 2 buyins without even sitting at the table.... I have emailed them 3 or 4 times now with no responce so I think I am entilteled to be a little wound up, at the time I was also on abit of a heater so not getting on my account for 5 working days is going to set me off a little bit. as for posting on this thread... as geldy says this is in my eyes the best site out there, I have had loads of good advice in the past about certain matters, I thought this would be ok,I didint mean to cause up such a stir I just wanted a little bit of advice..

Thank you for your question, though. I think.
Have a good weekend.
Shall we let dearest K8 have his thread back now?
Probably the sensible & fair thing to do.
My apologies K8.
As you were.
