Luck of the Irish

Paddy Power Poker pissed me off today!

Opened an account a couple of days ago and I've had nothing but trouble since day one. First I couldn't enable a real money account - so I had to phone them up. Then I had to register new card and had to send a couple of emails before I could do that. The promo code that was due to expire that day had already lapsed. So anyway, I deposited a little whilst a waited for them to give out a new promo code. Played in my first MTT and finished 2nd. Lots of Irish players playing - no wonder I nearly won it ;)

Today, I decided to play some ring games to work off the bonus I managed to get. Everything was going all right; I was up, the bonus was almost unlocked and was looking forward to playing in a tournament later. Then, suddenly, I couldn't access the cashier!

So had to stop my session and figure out what was wrong. Got an email from them saying they couldn't verify my address so they froze my account. Great! It was only after several emails and hours later that, as I type this, they finally unfroze it.

In the meantime, I've been on tilt at other websites playing like a muppet on steroids with a craving for nicotine. I'll just have to finish off the wagering for the bonus and withdraw I guess - I've gone off the Irish.

I login to do just that but all my money has disappeared from my account! More emails...FFS! This BS is almost as bad as Virgin Poker. Here's the explanation they gave me a day later:

"On very rare occasions, money gets stuck in the network, and it has to manually unstuck."

They finally managed to sort it out and I got my money back. Went to the tables and tripled it in about one hour. Problem is that you have to wait about 3 days before you can withdraw any profit... grrrr!

If you're looking for somewhere simple to deposit your hard earned money head straight for Party Poker. Existing accounts are entiled to 20% reload bonus using BONUSJUL til Wednesday 6th of July. That's where Paddy's money is going.

Luck O' the Irish!
