Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet Finally Paying Back Customers?
The fallout from Black Friday is still being felt across the globe as Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet look to pay back pay players still awaiting access to their frozen accounts at the poker websites.
PocketFives co-founder Adam Small has managed to gain a scoop from insiders at Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker, suggesting that customers of these poker rooms will at long last be supplied with money frozen following the US Department of Justice (DoJ) decision to close down numerous poker websites back on April 15 this year.
There is a problem, however, as players are more than likely going to receive much less than they would have hoped from both poker websites.
Small stated that the repayments are almost certainly going to be around or “under 25 cents on the dollar” as Absolute Poker – whose co-founder Brent Beckley pleaded guilty in a Manhattan court to charges following the Black Friday injunctions – and Ultimate Bet start closing down.
