Title: JetSet Poker Closes Post by: KeithyB on October 14, 2006, 11:18:39 PM I received an email yesterday from JetSet poker ( small US site featuring mainly US players) saying that they were closing down. This being obviously connected to the changes in legislation in the US that we all know about :'(
Always had a soft spot for this site as it was where I first learnt to play online and I still recall the mysteries of those first games wondering exactly when the betting would stop and a flop would be dealt! ;surrender; Still played there a bit too especially the Headhunter tournys which were always fun. Less fun though was, after reading the email, when I straightaway tried logging in so that I could withdraw my money to Neteller. Guess what…..the poker site no longer worked and neither did the website except for a closing down notice that gave no contact info. :dontask: To be fair the email does make mention of sending all remaining balances by cheque on confirmation of address details which I’ve obviously done. I just have this nagging suspicion that the cheque won’t turn up. Mainly as I can’t see why they couldn’t have left the banking part of the site open for a week or two so that players could get their money in a much quicker and easier way? Hopefully cheque will turn up but it just feels like I’m on the verge of a $200 bad beat here! ;snoopy'sguns; Title: Re: JetSet Poker Closes Post by: snoopy1239 on October 14, 2006, 11:20:30 PM Are you owed a lot of money?

problem is that they cant leave banking open for 2 weeks while people withdraw as that would be breaking the law not even sure on the law with cheques to the USA Title: Re: JetSet Poker Closes Post by: Graham C on October 14, 2006, 11:23:36 PM Are you owed a lot of money?

I have some money on deposit there, could you possibly post their e-mail. Much appreciated. Title: Re: JetSet Poker Closes Post by: KeithyB on October 17, 2006, 09:24:32 PM Roy Cropper eh? One of Leicester's celebrity supporters.........loved the episode of Coro where you read out the serial number of that oven in the cafe as LCFC plus some numbers! :respect:
Ok...the bit of the email they sent that's relevant is....... "JetSetPoker shall remit remaining balances via cheque. Please respond to accountclosure@jetsetpoker.com and provide your accurate name and mailing address to initiate the cheque disbursement process." Best of luck with it Roy! PS did I mention 3rd / 201 in the speed tourny last night to anyone ? rotflmfao |
