Hoje needs help.

[hojediade]

Hey gang,

I received bad news this afternoon.
The Cake Network will close for french players which means that even registred players will have their account closed by tomorrow. And that's why i need a hand there.
First i can't plan on withdrawing my BRs at Cake and Doyles before tomorrow due to the fact that i don't have my ID papers updated. Which lead me to ask one of you if i could send him the money. I only ask for well-known and respectable members here of course.
So here i go, i have $30.92 @ Cake and $49.20 @ Doyles.
What i need is someone to send me through pm their registered email for Cake and their first name, so that i can send the $$. This evening would be great as i'm not really aware when it will close.
I checked out Doyles thinking it was working the same as Cake, but how disappointed, they don't run players to players transfers and min amount to be withdraw is $50.
I guess i won't be able to do anything there. If you have any ideas to help me don't be affraid to leave it, through pm if not legal ones.

Hoje.

Here is a quote that will be more informative:

Due to the recent passage of a new French law all persons resident in France will no longer be allowed to access poker services and play for real money on any turnkey partner site which is part of the Cake Network. As of 4pm GMT, Friday April 9th, no French resident will be able to open a new real money account and any French resident who holds an existing account will not be allowed to play on the Cake Network

This sucks Hoje, sorry to read this.

About Doyles, you do not have Neteller? or another E-wallet?, for what i know you don´t need to give them any ID papers unless you deposit with credit cards, i cash out from doyles with out give any ID´s but use Neteller.

In Doyles you have 49.20, i know the min there is $50 to cash out ($50 is min to every cake site) so in this case you can go to a HU game or a small 2bleup game or ring game and try to reach the $50.

If you absolute need to send them ID´s try to take some driver license or other ID (or both) some pict with your cel-phone, load it to your pc and send them and cross fingers is up in time.

About cake, i can help you there, will pm you the info and i can give the $ back in Fultilt if thats ok.

Good luck.

so sorry to hear of your troubles. looks like you got some cake help already.(if not i can help you, let me know) i don't have a doyles account myself. the new policy is awful. i would hate for that to happen to me. i hope this won't make it difficult at other places for you in the near future. good luck hoje.

Hoje, u got msn?

We can go HU on Doyles and u can give me the $ pre flop so we dont pay rake. Than I can probably withdraw it and deposit it on PKR and we can do the same there.

PM me your email if you have msn, than we can work something out!

PS: I only have Doyles................

[hojediade]

Thank's both.

I don't know what will happen in the future, but we french sure are in troubles.
I now reach $50 at Doyles playing some micro but still can't withdraw yet.
So i reached the support and they told me that french players don't have anything to care about as Doyles won't close for them.
To tell the truth, i'm a bit lost.
Anyway i'll go with Logan for the transfer as he already sent me the infos, and thank's again tk for the offer.

I have some more news about this.
First this article seems to be only true for few rooms hosted by Cake Network (like Yogapoker or Powerpoker) which will have to state on that later on, when the law will be approved by the CE commission. So i don't need to hurry anymore, but the initial message was kind of alarming.
I will wait a bit before acting and see how the wind turn.
One more thing to add is that french players will be able to withdraw even though they won't be able to play anymore.

I was to forget, thank's for the offer Iwud, i will maybe use it if any complications appears.

hi

Good to see some help coming your way but also looks like youve got more time and they will be accomodating French players needs

Which is as it should be

I think that while the news isnt great news those sites on Cake should and will do things right and look after those players allowing them to get their money out without having to panic

cheers Scrawnybob

I've done quite a few player-to-player transfers on Doyles (maybe a dozen). Most were prior to them joining Cake network but have done a couple since as well, so I'm surprised to hear that you can't do transfers on Doyles??? (did u deposit on Doyles? ... I did, but I think I was doing transfers prior to depositing too... not 100% sure as it's a site I rarely visit).
Only trouble being..... I have $'s on Doyles that I would like to trade for other site as I rarely play on there these days. If I knew anyone who was interested in Doyles, I'd work a trade with you in a heartbeat (on hu tables if necessary, if you're not able to transfer). Presently though, I DON'T know of anyone who wants Doyles (have advertised it on a few sites.... nobody interested... sigh..).

Scarey news Hoje. Hope things stay as they've said with Doyles still being available for you guys to play on. Tabernac!!!!!
