First of all, the site is a total rip off. I'm a top notch player and play a lot in real life, but I haven't messed around online poker in a few years. I do play for fake money on facebook and do pretty good.

I decided to deposit some money into Poker Stars since the company seemed so legit and the software was good. I wanted to deposit a few hundred, but since they only let you deposit with those gift cards I ended up just depositing $100.

I played for a few days and had the worst "LUCK" ever! I thought the game might be rigged so I googled it and found out that everyone thinks it's rigged. Ask any good player who's ever used the site.

Once I found this out, I decided to cash out my $50 some I had left. They sent me an e-mail and said they couldn't cash me out without an explanation since it was a recent deposit. So, I gave them my explanation and they sent me an e-mail requesting I send them photo copies of my drivers license and the card that I used to make the deposit.

The problem is that I don't have the card because it was one of those all access gift cards and I threw it away. They won't give me my money back!

POKER STARS IS EXTREMELY UNETHICAL AND ALL THOSE FAKE IDIOTS WHO STICK UP FOR THEM IN THE MESSAGE BOARDS PROBABLY WORK FOR THE COMPANY. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY OF YOUR MONEY!!!!

The US government needs to legalize it so they can create US gaming companies and regulate them. These companies shouldn't be able to get away with this!!!

Anyone notice a trend here?

Whoa wait a minute...do you mean to tell me online poker is not rigged? I thought everybody on here agreed poker was rigged.

I think my favourite thing is that, if this is all true, there's an army of people employed by PokerStars to defend it on internet message boards. That's just fantastic.
