In Response to Re: accounts : No, you are not wrong. However, there are certain situations in which there are exceptions - for instance, a player who self-excludes for, say, 12 months, cannot, under any circumstances, re-activate the Account in a lesser period. That is done for the players protection, & in line with Responsible Gaming guidelines. Posted by Tikay10
And looking at it another way... Sky re-open their accoutn after 6 months, the player then goes on to lose a LARGE amount of money i.e their mortgage/house... they could then turn around to sky and say, "i told you not to let me play now iv lost everyhting im going to sue you"... so sky are covering their own backs as well as helping out the player
In Response to Re: accounts : i can see no reason why sky will not re-open the account for him surely thats bad buisness.if i own a shop and a customer says they will shop else where and 2 weeks time come in to purchase something i am not going to turn them away. Posted by thesaint07
I can only talk generally, & not specifically to any particular case, but......
Yes - on the face of it, it IS bad business. But ethically & morally, if someone has self-excluded, it's entirely correct,
At the bottom of this page is the Headline "RESPONSIBLE GAMING", with details below. Any good Poker Site would support Responsible Gaming, & yes, it's bad for business - but there has to be ethical & moral standards in these matters - gaming can be very addictive.
hi everyone he has not got a gambling problem in fact hes a very good poker player and has not got the funds to play big money games so how can he lose a morgage if he has one you are just summising and loves the game of poker
In Response to Re: accounts : If you suspect something is amiss or improper, as you suggest above, you should report it to Customer Support immediately. Male players using "female" aliases, & vice-versa , however, is perfectly acceptable, as Male & Femals players are equal in ability, so no advantage is being gained. Posted by Tikay10
what do you mean male and female players are equal in ability. i wore my wifes dress changed the avatar to female called myself marlene wore all the make up and lost a double your money, i then reverted back to being a male and won the very next game- irrefutable proof that men are better than the ladies at poker so there.

I was not referring to him - I made that quite clear.
Really, Lucky, this Forum is not the optimal arena for this debate. May I suggest you take it up with Customer Support - their decision is the only one that counts in these matters.

I've tried to be as open & helpful as I possibly can, but I can't assist further. I really recommend, strongly, that you speak with Customer Support.
Well ... what I want to know is ......... Did they all live happily ever after ??
Rules are rules - they make the world go round.
Time to call a halt to this girls and boys.
Good luck in your endeavours.
