What they want to give you, when this happens in a big tournament with a big prizepool? So, from me: thumb down for CakePoker!

Crazy! I have nevver played on the Ckae Poker network and this is sure a reason not to play there! This is almost like the crazy stuff that went on on the Absolute Poker network a couple of years ago...

Well at least Cake is honest about having a glitch. It shows class but their software really needs fixing, especially the auto rebuy option. Can't wait until their new cilent comes out. Hopefully it wont end up like ongames software when that came out..

Yeah but you cant ask for more than that can you? they'll pay you %500 if they have got it wrong in the past or if it happens to you in the future. thats OK At least they have put there hands up and said its our fault , it shouldn't happen and when we know what happened we'll tell you. Good on ya.

I have heard that this has happened atleast dozen times, one of my dearest friend caught up in a fight with the support because they didn't want to repay this misfortune.
