blonde & Poker Trillion

[h]

Cant afford any til that bloody Colin bloke coughs up £7k !!


Seriously though, apart from attention seeking reasons, why would anyone be screaming about their accounts and their 30 bob withdrawals on this thread when Colin has a 100% record for helping all forum members who have had problems with their accounts and withdrawals before.

seriously kev i totally agree i have thanked Colin for responding on this thread

my perspective is this

Blonde have a trade debt of £7k owed by trillion
i assume funds are needed therefore there are potential future issues for blonde if debt not payed
on a serious scale this is an 8 in my book cant rate it higher as i don't know enough about blondes finances and therefore what impact could be
i as previously stated have been fortunate to run good on trillion for a month or so have a balance over $1 k
i have requested a cash out and will wait to see if i get it

how serious do i consider this maybe a 5

poker is not my living the money is mostly winnings if i didn't get it ha ho mortgage will still be payed food will still be provided
life will go on

i do appreciate Colin is about to lose his job and under the circumstances admire the fact that he comes on here at all and having not been paid is still
trying to resolve issues so i wish him well
For him on the serious scale this must be 9.99 only not a ten because no one is dead

that leaves the small matter of a blonde t shirt

serious scale  0.1 i think i will not go cold without it
and what u never had u cant miss
and finally i trust u kev so am sure it will turn up one day

for info my cash out was sucessfull

Mine as well via moneybookers.

[Mr Intensity]

Can I ask when did you guys request the moneybookers withdrawl and when did it go through?  I requested a withdrawl on Sunday and keep getting different stories from live help about when it will go through.

[Dino]

[Mr Intensity]

Thanks Dino.

Just received this from Trillion - I've never heard of Rockem Poker.

Dear Player,

Welcome to your February Newsletter. This is special one, as it is going to be last from Poker Trillion as on Monday will become Rockem Poker.

It sounds drastic, but Rockem is also on the ELG network and on 2nd February when you double click the PT icon on your desktop the software will auto update and become Rockem Poker.

You can then log in with exactly the same details you currently use on PT and your full balances including, real money, poker points and play money will have migrated over.

This link is to the FAQ page about the change, but I s hall highlight the benefits you can look forward to below as well.


New Benefits and Features


Some things have been a long time waiting, but when we launch Rockem we are delighted to now offer a Flash client, so those who cannot download or use a Mac can now play poker with us.

Our UK players will be delighted to hear we can now accept Maestro directly. No need to muck about going through Money Bookers any more.

We are re-introducing Rakeback

We listed when you said you didn't like it when we removed Rakeback, and we also know many of you found it hard to earn your reload bonuses.

So starting on 2nd Feb, all players will earn 25% Rakeback. It will be paid weekly and there will be no deductions made. The minimum Rakeback payment is $10.

We are keeping Player Points.

In fact we are expanding them. As well as Rakeback, you will also continue to earn 10PP for ever y $1 you rake, but after listening to your feedback, we will now feature a range of smaller buy in live events at the new rate of 50PP per $1 of entry. This has an equivalent value as an additional 20% Rakeback. We have kept the 2009 WSOP at 35PP per $1, as we know many of you are saving up for this.

If you don't care for live events you can boost your rakeback via Hard Cash for another 5% or you can use your points online for our range of Freerolls and Satellites, including the monthly $5000 Freeroll.

Special $1000 Freeroll

As a welcome and a thank you to all of our members, we are running a $1000 Freeroll on Saturday 7th February. There is no password or pre play requirement; however numbers are limited to 1500, so make sure you register as soon as you can after the 2nd.


What stays the same?


Everything else! Including the $50,000 Poker League (Jan winners will be paid into their Rockem account before 10th February, our guaranteed games and our range of satellites, including the twice daily WSOP Freerolls. We are actually adding a new range of steps (to the 3rd tag) for the Olympic Casino events, where winners can choose to play in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania or Poland.

I am also staying on as Operations Manager at Rockem Poker and will be delighted to continue to serve you all.


Time for your 1st Deposit?


We are keeping our 50% Instant Cash Bonus with your 1st deposit, so use code '100NOW' with your 1st deposit for an instant 50% bonus up to $100.* Unlike regular bonuses, this does not have to be earned and will be in your bankroll immediately to use. Your 25% Rakeback and Player Points are all in addition to this bonus!

So, if you have any questions about the change, please read our FAQ page. If you still need some help or have just forgotten your login details, then speak to our 24/7 Live Support or email support@rockempoker.com
See you at the tables!

Perhaps Colin could give us a brief rundown of what's happened here, as he's described himself as 'staying on' at Rockem Poker, rather than joining it. Also, www.rockempoker.com doesn't seem to be up yet, suggesting it's brand new, rather than Poker Trillion being bought out/taken over by someone else.

A cynical person may see this move as an attempt to keep the player database and poker operations ongoing under a different name, whilst letting the debts die with the Poker Trillion name. I think maybe Colin should clarify what the score is.

Are you calling me cynical??

[kukushkin88]

He means continuing under the ELG umbrella, if you look back at previous posts from Colin it seems he felt this had been the intention ever since Trillions financial difficulties came to light. If nothing else at least it seems consistent with the idea that players funds will be secure under the ELG umbrella, not sure where that leaves blonde with regard to 7k debt though.

don't you mean Owning? this is standard business practice now apparently

Once a Retailer goes into Administration, it is usually bought back out again..often in a "Pre Pack" arrangement. MFI have already done this, and Whittards, Officers Club and Adams all look likely to continue. Most Retailers find that 70-80% of their total store contribution comes from the best 20-30% of their stores...with a long tail of unprofitable stores. In normal circumstances, these poor stores may be on 25 year leases, with no prospect of getting out unless you pay a huge "Reverse Premium" to someone else to take on the lease. When a business goes into administration and then comes back out, the Creditors will have been rogered, but so will the Landlords of stores these loss making stores. The new "post administraion" company takes only the leases it wants, renegotiates on some marginal ones, and the rest go back to the Landlord without impunity. The company contines, and most jobs are saved! It may sound like a panacea, but its not that easy. Clearly, a Retailer's reputation is damaged..and Suppliers will be wary of trading with them on any terms of credit.
