Very legit.
It has been illegal here in my state for quite some time, but this was thought to be unconstitutional and was going to be overturned, I guess however it was upheld by the supreme court in my state a week or so back, somehow I didn't get wind of this. So they decided they had no choice but to ban us all.
What made it worse was them saying that we would have to show proof such as photo ID and scanned utility bills to prove we had moved.
Well, this is my income, and rent is due in 3 days, so this is no good, even if I did just uproot myself in a moments notice, how the hell am i going to get a photo ID created so quickly?
I sent an email to support and in about 2 minutes I received a phone call from the VIP department.
The dude was super nice and explained how they had no choice etc etc and knew I was going for SNE and obviously couldn't afford to take time off so he told me since I was a high volume player if I did manage to get out of state they would work with me in verifying my location such as a web cam in the hotel lobby or something goofy like that but he assured me they'd figure out a much quicker way to verify it. So there is SOME hope I guess.. But man.. I like where I live, I'm not really thrilled about uprooting myself in a moments notice.
I'm still not sure how my wife's going to react... well i know how she will react INITIALLY but not overall.
Yeah I really can't believe they didn't give us some warning, I don't see why they wouldn't. They even made it so we could turn our fpps to cash on the bonuses without clearing them AND we are still free to withdrawal at any time... so what's the difference if we have warning or not? I would have played MORE if I knew that. Very odd and brutal.
We are talking about turning our whole life upside down in 2 days, it's pretty upsetting especially for my wife. Looking like in the early going that we'll be heading to Vegas to stay with a friend, so we'll see what happens.
I feel almost like Robert Deniro on Heat when he tells Al Pacino that you can never have anything in your life that you can't walk out on in 30 seconds if you see the heat around the corner.
I didn't realize I had to be prepared like that. Crazy shit.
Ya it looks like that's what I'll be doing. Moving there maybe as soon as Saturday and working from a wifi in a hotel room. My friend is planning on renting a condo so I'll just stay with him and we'll both be working from there. Like i said above, the site itself wont let you, but Steve the manager of the VIP room called me and gave me his phone number through Skype and said once I get there get a hold of him and he will personally get the account reopened so I can get back to at asap. One of the first things he asked was "you're planning on going for SNE right?" to which I replied yeah definitely I'm a little behind pace because I've been trying different styles of play, but in the past i was always able to get 5,000 vpps/day at 200nl and was planning on switching back soon to make up the ground. To which he said that in 2008 when he went for it he was almost exactly where I am now in vpps so he knows being forced to take time off will just make it that much harder. So I'm pretty confident I'll get it back on once I get to Vegas.
