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!
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.
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!
