Hi guys
I am new here on Pokervip but some of you may know me from the Online Poker League. First of all let me say thanks for organizing this fantastic event for us and for all the great prizes that were added by Pokervip. I finished the league in third place after having a very good start and not that great of a finish, yet one thing has really been bothering me lately and I thought I would bring it up here.
At first I did not play the BetOnline tournaments, as Jon said on many occasions in the streams that Europeans can't play there. I took this for granted. However it turned out they could. Once I saw my rivals were getting points on there, I decide to join up myself. I made an account and played one tournament. After this, my account got suspended, I sent in the documents and other relevant info and BetOnline people said, your account is suspended because you have a Tigergaming account and we are both on Chico network, and you cant have two accounts with Chico. Now, I get this, and I guess it is fair.... except, I know for sure that some people got points on both Tiger and Betonline. Now you can surely see how this leaves me in a very weird situation. As in I was not even allowed to play the last tournament of the league, when I really needed points, and in general people can't play both networks, but still some people seem to have gotten around this.
My question is how? Personally, the only way I see this possible is if they used false data, false names, dates of birth etc, which I really don't see as fair. It could also be that BOL allowed this to happen, or made an oversight but I still don't see it as fair that some people got some 10 tournaments more then the rest of us. Now I am not accusing anyone of anything, just asking if it could be checked that everyone is playing under one name and on real accounts, as anything other then this would be unfair. At the very least I would like my BOL account to be allowed to play in the future, if other people can play, but I don't see this as possible. I rather think some people maybe though they would get around the suspension, but I think that is really really unfair, and I see that some other guys had the same issue with BOL.
I hope for a fair solution in this case, and once again, no matter what happens thanks for the league and all the great work you do for us players
Cheers
