Default THIS is why i give most of my play to Pokerstars

Just thought id throw a good word out for PS to those deciding what site to join.

My internet went out in a storm about 2 mins after joining 3 sit and goes. I heard people have been able to get there money back, so i figured id give it a try.

I explained the problem and this is what i get back,


"Thank you for your recent email.

Just to let you know, we have reviewed the tournaments you were playing
at
the time and can confirm that you were indeed disconnected for quite a
large
part of it. We are therefore happy to refund your buy in for you on
this
occasion. The full cost of entry including registration fee's to three
Sit &
Go's which were affected is $XX.XX. This has been credited to your
available
account balance.

Please note, that although we did not experience any site or server
problems
at the time and therefore cannot assume responsibility for the
disconnection
you suffered, we are happy to reimburse you this amount nontheless in
show

I trust that you are satisfied by this outcome.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you require any further

Good luck at the tables.

Unbelievable.

They had NO obligation to pay me back what so ever. It was completly my fault, yet they still pay me back.

+1 to Pokerstars

If stars offered decent bonus and rakeback deals (not that they need to though) I would play there as my only site. Their customer service is second to none.

I had ordered a mug from their fpp store which hadn't arrived after about 3 months. I didn't really care, it was only a silly mug but emailed them anyway. Within an hour they replied apologising and the next day they sent another one out. Can't ask for much better (apart from getting the mug in the first place I suppose ).

they have great customer service and ur always guaranteed a quick reply to ANY email u send them, no matter how stupid the question / complaint happens to be.

my only issue with them is their lack of decent bonuses / RB, particularly the way they massively increased the clearance rates to 15x since they became the major player in the game....the simple fact of the matter is that if / when Party et al come back into the US market, players will flock away from Stars once again.

the long grass is coming Stars, watch ur back

standard.

hands down best customer service in world. I remmeber back when i was clearing bonis there, and would run into problems when starting account/withdrawing, whatever, I would never feal uneasy b/c I could count on them.


This is prolly why they are #1, the players are the most important thing tto them, unlike other sites like UB and FT.
