Stick a Fork in Tropical Poker
When TropicalPoker.com went down in late October, 2007, management informed PokerRoomReview they were doing maintenance and data migration as the final stages of their upgrade and that it had taken longer than anticipated. Then in early December, they updated the message on their site, stating that they would be reopening in January 2008. January came and went and in early February, they posted another notice, this time saying they would be opening February 20th. Now that notice has disappeared and has been replaced by
“We are currently offline for system upgrades. Please check back soon.”
All along, a number of industry insiders had told us that Tropical Poker had every intention of reopening, but at this point, it looks like this is another failed room that will leave without paying any player balances. They have not given anyone any indication to believe otherwise. It’s organizations like this that give the entire industry a black eye.
