Where Is Pure Poker?
In an age that combines two of the most notoriously fickle elements
known to man, the internet and poker, there are bound to be some
slippery situations and some questionable dealings. Such an incident was
brought to all too vivid life this week for users of Futurebet powered
and licensed online poker room, Pure Poker. The site unexpectedly went
offline this week, allegedly for temporary but unspecified reason
according to the remaining text on the site.
Players claim that the site was shut down without any advance
communication, with many concerned about what will happen with money
that is already tied up in their accounts.
Arnold Lal, the director of client relations at Futurebet’s Vancouver
offices, made the following statement; “The site is temporarily down due
to financial restructuring by Pure Poker. We are working closely with
them in order to rectify the situation and come to a quick resolution
regarding their player’s concerns. If you have further questions or
concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.”
Contact numbers include 604-909-3317. The financial restructuring phrase
will no doubt sound alarm bell sin the minds of players. In the past, it
has been a euphemism for going broke by online gambling operations that
are bellyup. This fact has been mentioned to Futurebet, as well as
requests for details on arrangements for looking after money owed to
players if in the event that the restructuring does not work. It has
also been suggested that Futurebet continues an open dialogue with its
players to let them know what is happening as developments occur.
In the meantime, online gamblers have no choice but to stop playing at
this venue. It might also be a good idea for any users of Futurebet or
any of its subsidiaries to suspend their play on the sites until all the
information regarding Pure Poker is known.
Online gaming is a fun way to spend your time, but in order to keep the
sites honest all players must be willing to stick together when it comes
to the bottom line.
