Blonde poker - withdrawing cash

[tikay]

yes well civilised is saying it in a pm. just me view. its not what what you say its how you say it and i wouldnt want to be on the recieveing end of it. and blonde poker room makes shareholders money. the forum should be seperate. thats my point. i dont care who adam is losing money . its his view. it adam you are talking about is it not?

not being cheeky, just frank

No, I know you are not being cheeky Mad, & I'm being equally honest.

Civilised is saying it via PM? Agreed, but the allegation was made on the Forum, so I don't really see why he should be able to air his grievance publicly, but I have to respond privately. If he had PM'd the complaint, or rung me (he has my number & knows me very well indeed, & personally) I'd have responded in kind. And I kept my replies totally polite.

Mad, dont get me wrong and I'm not being rude, but why are you making
an issue out of this?

Adam hasn't lost any money.  Tikay has confirmed there is a teeny weeny
problem and has also promised to sort it - why keep dragging it on?

You're not causing offense, i just think you have the wrong end of the stick.
Nobody has or will lose any money, you seem to think this is the case.

its not about losing money. its the right to moan when you cant get at your money and are aggreived when you need to go through rigourous procedures you didnt need to when depositing.

And I never mentioned him......

But we own the thng, in partnership with my co-Directors & Shareholders, so the Posts were directed at blonde, whom I represent.

You are not causing any offence Mad, not at all, I'd like this issue fully & honestly aired, as I do all blonde matters.

I was in London last night, & the 'phone was "hot", & I was nominated by dave & snoops to be the one to handle it. So I did. They told me one Poster was very upset, so it was my task to sort it. I did so.

Everyone has the right to moan, but there are ways of going about it.

Solution !!!!!

 STEP 1   Open an account with neteller Deposit funds from credit / debit card into neteller account. Then they send you a cash point card with pin.
 STEP 2   Deposit funds into Blonde from your neteller account
 STEP 3   Withdraw funds from blonde back to neteller
 STEP 4   Find a hole in the wall, withdraw money.

HAPPY DAYS

firstly, I ought to say I'm sorry Tikay thought my grievances were with Blonde, they aren't. contrary to Tikays experience of Bowmans customer services I found them difficult to talk to and unhelpful. it wasn't until about 4 pages into this thread that I went from irritated to angry. that was a combination of the brick wall I got with Bowmans and the dismissive tone I felt I got from some of my fellow Blondites in the thread. The reason I said dont deposit until the issue is sorted was because i had full faith that Blonde would sort the issue out. If the policy wasn't changable then people would have to use an alternative deposit method if they didnt want to provide the info Bowmans require.

I've always been vocal in my defence of this forum being moderated. If Blonde felt my comments were damaging they should just have been removed. I could then, in the cold light of day, rephrased them to convey my actual meaning, that I felt the issues should be addressed before anyone else deposits by a method they won't be able to withdraw by.  I stand by the opinion that giving Bowmans this info is unreasonable and dangerous I'm not going to register my card with them, more because of the copy of my photo ID and utility bill than the card itself. because I'm not able to withdraw the money in the account it does kind of mean I've lost it. no-one else has taken it, it's just unaccessable to me. Tikay kindly offered to pay me from his own funds on pokerstars but that's not the point, so htanks but no thanks. my intention is just to leave the $70 there to participate in Blonde tourneys that I'm playing for fun rather than to win. If I can make it self sustaining by playing a few STTs with Blondes great.

again, I apologise to Tikay if he felt I was attacking Blonde, and by extention him. my beef is with the registration policy of bowmans, not with Blonde Poker. people are free to send whatever information they want, I'm just saying that having worked in a bank and seen first hand te effects of identity theft, it's a big risk to take. my opinion is you should find alternative methods, ie NETeller.
