Wass Poker Closing

[nb1961]

Just in case any of you have money on Wass Poker and haven't heard yet they are closing down. Withdrawals can be made still by going here...

https://wasspoker.mergecashier.com/

But you have to get it done before 20th August.

You can also get your money transferred to Carbon by contacting Carbon live support and asking them to transfer it through Merge or emailing to this address and asking them to do it.

Hope this is OK Bob I though people should get the chance to get their money out, but delete this if I have overstepped the mark

hi

totally OK to post this ... bad news

I am guessing this is just their foray into being a poker room operator that has gone ass up ??

or is the forum etc closing too ??

dont think I ever had any signups to them but thanks for the heads up to all the members ... I cant help thinking this will be messy for the forum as there must be alot of their forum members who are going to feel more than a bit let down - its a shame I guess that they didnt get enough players to make their skin work out

cheers scrawnybob

ps. looking in the forum it looks like alot of angry forum members feeling agreived - shameless plug if anyone wants to point them in the right direction of a good forum ... hint hint ... you could put in a word for 4kingpoker ;-)

Don´t remember if have account there, maybe i have but empty, still always sad to see poker sites down.

When Sportsbook/Players only go from Cake to Merge i remember reading that it was expected the Merge network grow in numbers, but time pass and i really see the sites with same numbers, not sure if all that players base just decide to go to bigger sites (FP/PS) but at the end Cake network is really down from the numbers of players they use to have, and Merge still is the same little network with good software but not many players.

Kind of sad because we see now a lot more and more folks playing poker but the sites are less than before wich cut the players from more options and force to just go to the top 4-5 sites, poker forums too are in those fields now.

Anyway.

Hope that everyone can have his money back.

I dont think it will be long before the forum itself becomes a ghost town

I have played their games for a while and when new owners took over they moved games to sites which didnt accept Americans
This alienated a lot of players at the forum and personally i think the writing was on the wall then

They have tried setting up games at US friendly sites but they weren't supported that well either so i dont really know why the forum has gone downhill so fast even the BRL seems to have lost support just lately

As far as the poker site itself was concerned they never really offered that much different to PDC/Carbon so i dont think they were ever gonna attract too many players over from those skins

As you can transfer monies to PDC/Carbon/Aced it seems to me that this is something which has been in the pipeline for a while

As I understand things the majority of Merge skins have the money transaction done by Merge themselves which seems to offer some protection and the ability for them to transfer funds to another skin. This has to be one upside to the Merge network if this is correct (heaven knows it need some).

Both Easyplay and Wass seem to have been offered this so credit to Merge.

On the Wass forum I had a moody and left about a year ago because of the way things were going and it has been a long draw out death but this looks to be the final end.

hmm. well, i heard it first here.

EasyPlay transferred American players funds to whichever Merge skin they wanted as they were going to a network which didnt accept Americans
European players had their funds transferred automatically to a site called CashIsKing which itself shut down not long after and as far as i know a lot of people lost a lot of money

Non US players also had the option but Easyplay didn't make it that clear. I was promoting Easyplay at that point and lost money too but I think Merge acted very well as they did with Aced too.

hi

worth bearing in mind that poker site traffic is going to be a bit seasonal with fewer playing in the Summer than in the Winter

but I think that merge traffic is definately up over the last 6 months

merge was approx 250 peak daily and is now around 700 peak daily

cake is down from 2,000 to around 1,000 over the same 6 month period ]

pokerstars is down from 32k to 25k

fulltilt is down from 17k to approx 15k

hope thats a help

cheers SB

I used to ba part of this room and forum too, but i didn't really get addict with both so that i wasn't active player there. I can remember playing their OFC game and winning some but then i gamble everything as usual and forget about the room.
No matter what it's always a bad news to hear.
Hope SB will attract some of the lost members there and turn them into real 4K members.
