Why full tilt cant be trusted!
I was recently accused of committing collusion on full tilt poker because a friend and I played many tournaments together but did not ever cheat. We never used any tactics such as chip dumping to gain an advantage. We simply made side bets on who would finish higher because neither of us liked to play big stakes at the time (due to a lack of trust). We also played 18 people or more sit n gos at all times so that there was less chance we would get placed at the same table. We played together for about 5 months and were both negative profit sit and go players. I only profited in multi tournaments and cash games, which we never played together.
Months after playing any sit and go's with my friend and after a recent good string of cash game sessions I had about 800 dollars in my account. Suddenly full tilt writes me and tells me without warning that my account has been permanantly closed due to collusion and they are keeping 800 dollars and refunding it to other players that were in the games. First of all, we never profited and that money was made in 100 percent cash games, and secondly nobody that played in the games with us ever received anything.
They continue to send me generic email responses and do not even have a phone number to call that would explain to me the details of the case. A couple days later they told me that due to my refusal to end the conversation they placed a stop on a 150 dollar check that was recently sent to me.
Its extremely unfortunate that such a large site can have such poor customer service and be so greedy. I urge players to avoid playing on full tilt unless you are able to somehow protect your funds because if you win a big tournament they are not liable to pay you and they wont.
