Question by Kari: How to open an online poker account after you have been barred for stating that you have a gambling addiction?
A while back I had an online poker account with quite a few different poker websites. As a joke my husband wrote an email stating “Hi my name is Kari and I have a gambling problem to one of the poker sites support.” I haven’t played poker on any websites for about a year and now that the weather is cold I thought, hmmm I will open an account and start playing again. I tried logging into my old accounts, but they were blocked on every single poker website!! Then, I tried creating a new account from a different computer and making a deposit, but immediately was written stating that my account had been suspended and to contact support. I don’t think I will ever be allowed to play poker onine on any of the websites. Please help! Has anyone else ever encountered this problem. How can I get my rights back. I am not even a big gambler, when I play I only deposit $ 20 or $ 25 a month, so they should be able to see that I never really had a gambling addiction.
I contacted support and they told me that I was not allowed to play due to the statement to other websites stating that I had a gambling addiction.
