I did a coupe of searches about ti, but ti didnt find anything saying for sure that the players moved there. The only think i found was a post on another forum saying that 888pker organised two special freerolls, due to players were not able to login to their accounts.
The only info for sure can come from existing pkr players, if that transfer did actually took place.

Administrators have been appointed. They try to sell the whole business, or if that is not possible, the player database and "certain assets" (whatever that means). Not a word of paying up to the players.

If they sell the player database, they buyer possible will pay the players. Not always the case though, cause this didnt happen with cake poker, where the site that got the players transformed all players money, to bonus money. Money you had earned before, you had to play through ti again by raking some crazy amounts.

i just hope that they don't sell the player database to pornhub... but from what it looks at the moment, pkr is in no rush to pay back the cash to the players and this is crap, maybe just maybe someone buys their so called assets and with that also decide to give players their funds back but no guarantees.

And what's wrong with pornhab? .... pornography concerns all of us in some way so ...... although maybe you mean the spam database that comes to the post with obscene suggestions? ... then it is certainly not very good

so any updates on how the hell this pkr closure is unfolding... not that i had any bigger bankroll than $0 to be exact but still this was a well known brand in the poker community and will be nice to follow the collapse and what consequences it will have to the players who have some cash there.

i just wonder what is going to happen to other players fund .they should have a good decision as well and make them self a deciding time regards this situation thanks.
we do have a BRM member doomdy who used to be a regular here and who I think is a semi pro at PKR, I hope he is not in trouble there as I believe he had all his bankroll there. If he is reading this, please log in and post us any update of how is it going for you...

I cant really remember about doomdy playing there, but i do remember that jess used to grind a lot in pkr at some points even playing some big tournaments. He had a good bankroll with them and he was getting often freebies

Looked at their site and there is no new info regarding players money. At least they have an email, where they are answering queries. Has anyone of the players with money in, tried to get in touch with them and got an answer?

i think that they are only answering emails from players that have $0 bankrolls as they are more important now, those who have sth left especially ones with bigger rolls have to understand that their cash is probably going to be used for far better things than plain old buy-in into some tourney...

The chances of getting paid when a iste goes down are always low. Even is cases that they make announcements beforehand, in order for players to withdraw the money, you may still not get paid and this has happened to me.

Yes like pichui and Mober say I think too that people who have money left in pkr are in trouble, and i seen things like this before and only some times money is returned, mostly money is gone, so this is a lesson to keep only a minimum amount in poker site and rest un ewallet

Nearly one month has passed since PKR filed for bankruptcy and hired administrators to facilitate their financial transactions; however, there has not been any update regarding the status of insolvency proceedings.*

Nothing new has come up yet, neither the site or the internet in general. The more the time goes the harder it seems for players to get back their money. Lets see, which direction this will take, hoping for the best always.

ouch. the next room bites the dust. well, everyone should know, to keep only a few buyins in the pokeraccount and the rest on a e-wallet. at latest the full tilt disaster should have been a warning to the most naive person in the world. ofc, it may hit some high-rollers.. the room was kinda small as i remember (around 2000 players? when i played back the days) , so im surprised how they kept alive all the years. and what broke their neck?

Who knows teddy, PKR was never a favy of mine, i gave them a chance never the less, but their 3d software was a bit much for me, switched to simple down version, and it was still some what twitchy, flakie, i dont know, something bout the software didnt sit right with me, so i quit it, but something else was bugging me, first PKR goes down, then PS goes down, something big is happening in the background, i would bet if we dont get an explanation about it, is coz they got hacked, would be the answer
