AB rakeback deal/cashout info needed

[bogyci]

Hi all,

Could someone give some info whether the rakeback deal with absolute is still active? I started playing there again for about a week ago, but rake isn't tracked here ('no data').

On a side note, is cashing out possible for EU players? They already introduced some pretty harsh limitations on cashouts (like, max 1 cashout a week, limited to 250$, delivery only by mail/courier - processing fee eating up 10% of the bankroll :P).

Thanks in anticipation!

I m in the US so no cashouts here. UB will not respond to emails. I have 2.4k on there plus 400 in pts>cash. Also I took 10th place in the Rake race which $700 has not bee awarded to my account yet either. thats about 3.4k total im out on UB. Any suggestions?

AP/UB are more bankrupt than Full Tilt. So good luck to us all.

Well, I requested a cash, but I'm not getting my hopes up...

I was really expecting members of the rakeback staff to give me some info here.. When was the last time you heard about them? What is their official stand toward you? Since rake is no longer tracked and the site is bankrupt, why is AB/UB still on the Rakeback Offers list? In fact, this holds for FT as well

Guess I'm gonna wait 2-3 months for my cashout to be approved, if nothing happens, I'm gonna bust it on 1000NL hu :]

Another better question is how can they still operate and being making money collecting rake and not paying out? Also the US Justice Department deal with them was suppose to help facilitate the safe return of US player funds. Step up USJD. WTF

Absolute Poker and UB seem to be in financial problems, although their servers are still up. Players are not getting their money withdrawn, and neither room is paying commission to Rakeback.com which is the basis of rakeback. Sparse responses from room management have been avoiding the issues and advising to wait, and support is not answering to any questions.

why is AB/UB still on the Rakeback Offers list?

The rooms are still at the bottom of the listing for the means of maintaining navigation to those pages, since there are users who want to find those pages to get information about the rooms. But both Absolute Poker and UB download buttons and links have been disabled on the room pages since the problems started. So Rakeback.com has not been sending any new players to these rooms, and will not do so unless they sort their problems and start paying out. Our recommendation as a player advocate is to not deposit into these rooms at this time.

Some news and alerts have been posted in the past, but I'll look into getting more informative statement set up to those room pages.

I have received check by mail after one month waiting, and yesterday i cashed it in my bank. after my request was proceeded, I was waiting for 13 days until my check has arrived to my home address. So don't lose your hope, they are paying out but really slow. And I sent an email to rakeback.com, they said that my deal is still on, but they just have some issues with presenting info about it.
