sad news that site is closing down i was still playing their no-deposit bonus, now would be fun losing those dollars donking or maybe i wud try one of their big games
You have to manage very very bad the site for closing down. It's a pure business: "little" investment, big winnings. I don't think they may lose money ... only they shouldn't win what they wanted to win.

If it isnt your money and you arent able to withdraw until now it surely is the best oppotortunity to try a big shot. I never played there up to now. dont know that site...

Why is this happening? I have no idea about the costs that a business like this might have, but never thought that it could take to the end of it. Perhaps they are selling the company and it will re-appear with other name... I'm that kind of entrepeneur that still dreams with opening something like an online casino, but i know that first i have to inform with foreigners about the law.

LOL @Fakiry me too, iv looked at the prices and it aint cheap. Im actually tempted to go with Nuts, but not sure id have the time. BIgBet has closed once before, this time I think it was due to all the offers they were making, rakeback, bankrollbuilder etc etc, I think they will re-opn not too long after closing.
Roflmao.... And I considered playing there and make a deposit in the next time (February) -.-' Why do they close it down ? Pokersites always gain much ?!

Yes you can be right they are just selling it.... Because making a lot of rakeraces + promotions and wasting a lot of cash are mostly to upgrade database of players which is important when you sell... Or they tried to get players... they failed and decided to close (but weird cause kinda low time passed... ) Time will show.
Small sites and badly managed sites come and go all the time. Didn't play @ BBP, but did hear mostly good things about it. Hopefully they can return better than ever and stick around.
