Outta curiosity, if you guys never took deposits and your software basically cost nothing to launch, why did you close instead of sticking with it?

We started our poker room without knowing that there was another site doing pretty much the same thing, btcontilt.com, with the same software, so we were a little behind the curve. Also, We actually had ONE deposit and that player withdrew their 2.00 BTC after 3 days of having no one to play with because our site had no traffic. We have been running the PM software on several other poker websites and the BTC thing was just another site we setup. We never got a script to integrate the BTC deposits and withdraws to integrate with the PM software, so all was manual. That wasn't going to be a good thing after some time. We did email specific BTC deposit addresses to all players a day before we pulled the plug, but we received NO DEPOSITS. Also, we had a generic BTC address that was used for deposits in conjunction with a PIN number, but players didn't trust that. A poker room is only as good as the trust players have for it. So, before any more complications, we dropped the site and no one lost ANYTHING!

I would be interested in knowing what address the player calling us scammers sent their deposit to. We only saw one deposit and it was for 2.00 BTC and that player withdrew it with no issues. There were also several players that withdrew their FREE winnings without problems.

I am in the process of redirecting our web address to btcontilt.com so people wanting to play BTC Poker, will be directed their instead.

Really, scammers? Don't think so. 10 BTC? What a joke!
