Wincake, the former Cake Poker, closes its operation. The players are moved to other skins in the Revolution network.
No surprise here. Problems with cashouts at that site existed at least since Cake became Wincake. And i have my doubts that the other rooms in the network will operate with more success.

Where did you hear about this ? All i know is that juicy poker has sent us a mail saying that we can leave wincake and join their site. They are not mentioning anything of course, for all those that have requested cash outs what will happen. I have tried a couple of times to contact them didnt manage it so far.
I won't waste even a small amount of my strong, crocodile tears as a reaction for reading this news but since the happenings in the poker world is cyclical just as any kind of economic process so I guess after the market rearranges itself there will be a new kind of boom within a couple of year. And a strong decline again right after that.

Have this from safestpokersites via pokerscout. Players from the UK are moved to Euro Club Poker, while the rest will join Juicy Stakes, but with only 10-20% of their bankroll at Wincake. So ar least this report says.

I asume that it will be lost. Wincake is struggeling to pay its players for years now. So it would be extremely optimistic, to expect a full payment of the entire bankroll. Oh, the pleasures of playing on smaller sites/networks.

That is an atrocius amount of vig here, dunno who arranged the details of the playerpool's buyout - probably will be promoted for it - but he will definitely be hated da rest of his life by the people whos money has stuck in there.

Still shokaku i have no confirmation of anything that you are saying, from juicy stakes. Yes i got the email from Juicy, telling me to move there, after reading all their TOS, and accepting them.
But they are not saying anything in the email, about wincake closing down, or that they will honor the cash out requests, like mine. And if they do and they also have a backlog i dont know if i want to move there, since im waiting for the cash out from December of 2014.
I have tried two times to get in touch with them via online chat to no avail. If i get in touch with them ill let you know.
