AVOID: Hollywoodpoker.com (Long)

Hi

I found a new pokersite with a decent signupbonus so I f
thought I'd try it out..
A friend owed me $150 so I deposited with his NETELLER..
When I was done I wanted to cash out, and this is what it says on their homepage:
"Cash-Outs to a NETELLER account are usually funded in 1 to 3 business days.

Please be advised that any transaction you make now will be reflected on the NETELLER account you used to make your previous transaction."

SOO, I deposited $20 with my own NETELLER..and then I made a withdrawal of $330 or so. I got $200 to my account..When i e-mailed the support they said that they sent $130 to the other NETELLER#. WTF!?
My friend closed his # and don't want to open it again..(personal reasons).
I e-mailed the support again, and they said I could request a reversal of the money at NETELLERs support. So I did. It got accepted. 8 days later I e-mail hollywoodpoker again, what do they say?
"I'm sorry you have to request a reversal at NETELLER"..done that already, but thanks. Today I got this (after I sent them an angry e-mail saying I ALREADY CONTACTED NETELLER YOU STUPID *****..or something like that):
"I would like to apologize for the inconvenience caused, however, before we
proceed further, we would appreciate if you could provide us with the
information below, we need this information to trace the transaction which was
sent by Neteller to us, thank you for your kind understanding and patience in
this matter.

1. Amount of fund which was sent.
2. Account number for Neteller account which has been closed.
3. Transaction ID or NT code ( can be obtain by contacting Neteller support)"


And this has taken about 3 weeks. And now they're almost saying that they've lost my money. Interesting. And I got a nice compensation too, a $2.20 SnG-token. How nice of you.
Sure, it's ony $130 but I don't think it's OK to loose customers money or send them to the wrong account.


Hollywoodpoker sent my cashout to the wrong NETELLER account. And I'm probably not getting it back..So, don't deposit money here..

Thanks

(Yes, I'm going to post this in every forum that I find..Hopefully someone from HP reads it..!)

  • Did you post it on the hollywoodpoker forum?
  • You're asking for trouble depositing with a neteller account that is not in your name and then cashing out to a neteller account that is in your name.....further I think it clearly states that the neteller account must be in the account holders name AND cash outs will go to the Neteller account that made the deposit, that's pretty standard at most sites. It sucks but it's not their fault. You should have had your buddy transfer from his Neteller to yours then deposit, better yet transfer through Stars then cash out from Stars to Neteller, no fees and ultra quick, like minutes.

    Hollywood is a PokerRoom skin, great deposit bonus unfortunately no monthly reloads but good rakeback.....so far I'm loving it and have never had a single issue using Neteller the way it was intended.

    Unfair to knock a site when you run into trouble doing something funky.
  • I was just wonder who the is the one who F'ed up.

    I dont think it was Hollywood!
  • Nice avatar DM :)
  • tjock,

    Two points of interest...one make sure that they are the ones that screwed up, I completely agree with the others as to netellers policies and who's trying to do something funky here.

    Second, when dealing with American companies be careful what you post and were, they do so love to sue people for misrepresentation. Which could cost you a lot more then $130
