blonde & Poker Trillion

[AndrewT]

The PT site went tits up because it offered gtd tournies, Rakeback, bonuses etc....yet isn't rockem offering the same things (according to the Feb newsletter from Colin?)...not going to touch them with a bargepole

Bear in mind that PT was a skin on the network, so Everleaf would take their cut. As Rockem Poker is in-house, Everleaf get the whole of the rake.

I've just been reading the PL thread on this which is only about 2 pages long, am I right in understanding that when a player clicks onto the PT icon it will update and use all the same information for them to acess their 'new' account with Rockem?

Surely thats a violation of data protection having information transferred from one company to another??

Most of these companies are headquartered abroad i.e. Malta for Trillion. Not sure UK laws apply?

I think that's a way some companies get round the Telephone Preference Scheme. They get some geezer in India to phone you.

also I suspect that in the very long terms and conditions that you agreed to when you signed up, but probably never read, that there will have been a section which covered the use/sale/transfer of your personal data.

please remember that the data protection act isnt some all-encompassing law which protects your identity, but merely a framework in which the law can operate.

as everleaf always handled the banking they always had the details of all players, there's no info being passed to a new company

I consulted with a more experienced data protection expert - i.e. I asked my boss

He said, "hmmm, interesting".

Apparently there is precedent for this kind of case but he couldn't remember the outcome and he's a bit busy to go looking for it.

But the suggestion is that this is a pretty 'grey' area of data protection.

[kinboshi]

As Laz said, the T&Cs are the key here.  Everleaf will be acting within the law and the T&Cs here.  Also, is there a data protection act in Malta? 

[tikay]

It matters not really. I don't really want to have to deal with these shysters again.

Just a thought...and maybe a stupid one but if you cant get your money back from them directly how about a staking thread for the Sunday $10k which still has an overlay and all winnings (minus buyin) donated to Blonde?

I know its not ideal as Trillion/Rockem would still be getting rake but they wouldnt be getting a MINT ;-)

I am not good enough at Maths to work it out but maybe 5/10? of our best players in a field of 150ish would stand a good chance of profiting?

If I can reach a final table in this then i am sure the good players on blonde will kill it.

PS can you all please not play again when Blonde has its £7k back x

even with blondes best players involved it doesnt guarantee profit. why give these schiesters any more money

[fatshaft]

Poker Trillion = Shady

That whole thing about "hijacking Boss servers" .... It's shame Blonde now has to suffer

Yup, that was it for me, got my money out of there after that. Sad that it has come to this though.
