HighStakes Poker Site Your thoughts?

[Maxmustdie]

I've been playing for about a year
made a deposit +50$
every month I make rake +300$
money is not withdrawn for more than a month, they do not answer letters

merch not sent (won 3 times)
but there are no questions, I'm from Russia, sanctions and other things ...

I spent a year on this room, I did rake, collected tournaments, grinded, please let me withdraw my money

High Stakes so far is very sketchy.
The players are playing 45,56,57,59 and all in pre flop in gtd tournaments.
Sounds like a dream right only the 5 high 6 high 7 high 9 high always win.
Lets look at the %s and the site has some real time issues.
When you go to withdraw and cash out there is verification and you must deposit before can withdraw even with $ in your account from grinding tournaments that are sketchy af
Who allows rebuys and add ons at the 1 hour and 30 minute mark.
I am first place in these tournaments and then at 1 hour and 30 minutes add ons occur.
Example Ultimate 10 im first place 68k chips all the add ons came at 1 hour 30 minutes and Im 17th .
There is some very sketchy issues with this site period.

Also to be note Luke Schwartz is involved in HighStakes. What could be worse for a poker room than this.

I play these tournaments sometimes. I register at the end of late registration and then rebuy. After late registration there is an option to use addons. I use this option. If you don't make an addon (50,000 chips), it's obvious that you can fall from the first place to the next.I don't know what's unusual about it?

I am always wary of sites that offer bonuses, because there is always a catch somewhere in the small print, I have been lucky on most sites I have tried, running up small bankrolls from freerolls but I only make a withdrawal if they change something about their site,.
On one site I built up £150 in about 6 months playing Point games, then buying into "points to cash Tournaments" then advancing into Sit and Goes, but they stopped the Point freerolls and I felt it was time to quit so withdrew all my money and left, There was a couple of phone calls I had to make because I was being rejected from getting my money but it worked out in the end.
High Stakes Poker is one I have never tried, and I looked into "Global Poker" last night but the site is not available here in the UK.

Hahaha, this is so true.
Biggest garbage in poker world is involved in HighStakes so it's not surprising that they scammed and still scamming a bunch of players.

Cole South - old cheater, colluding and multi-accounting scambag who cheat Isildur1 out of millions, and probably a lot more players.

Luke Schwartz - probably biggest douchebag in poker world.

Very bad update.
After 3 weeks they ignore me, refuse withdrawal without explanation and any valid reason, they finally banned my account and steal all money.

Reason for banned account and finally stealing all my money is "Abusing support". and thats Breach of House Rules they said.
Weird how "Breach of House Rules" isnt when they 3 weeks refuses withdrawal without explanation.

Unfortunatly, first time i saw these topics on forums i knew they will not pay my money, because thats how they operate for years.

Highstakes.com is now confirmed scam , and i I recommend all players to stop playing there and new players don't deposit there.

I play poker 9 years, never had any problems like this, never any poker site steal my money like this, I didn't aware that it's even possible this happen to me.
It's really sad that this cancer site exist in poker world.

I will do all in my power to report highstakes.com scammers and thiefs on every possible authority, on every possible relevant media, and spread information and warn every possible players.

I wouldn't trust these sites. Probably even more shady than the already established operators. Guy above's post should really make you weary. Other companies have that in their ToS like GG, but just think about how messed up it is that someone can steal your money because they felt disrespected.

On top of that, there is a good chance for them to do that would still be illegal regardless of ToS, and they risk getting shut down or raided by whatever government they are operating out of.

I wouldn't touch that site with a 10ft pole personally.

 

[roberto51]

I also have a lot of problems with this poker room but I will hold off on the final assessment. Maybe there will be a forum user who plays there regularly and who managed to withdraw some funds from this poker room?

LoL, you really think there is someone who plays there regularly ? That site is pretty much dead.

There is only some weird group of maybe 10-15 players who plays regulary and they always play together, they win every tournament, all rake/leaderboard promotions and all other promotions, that group win literally all money on that site.

I was analyze their play, and they play extremely good, and they run extremely good, but that run could be variance of course, but highstakes is confirmed scam in other area, so this group could be some part of another scam of highstakes site for sure.

As a long time profesional player i can feel and just know that something is wrong with that group of players, so im pretty sure some scam is going on, even there is no enough physical evidence.

I have never been able to cashout in Highstakes either. I tried several times for various payment methods but it does not complete the withdrawal. And to make matters worse, support doesn't give any feedback about it. I sent emails and messages via chat, with no response. So I just stopped trying to withdraw. I bet everything on sports and lost. lol😅

 

[roberto51]

I have repeatedly submitted instructions for withdrawing money that I won in sports betting. I must honestly admit that I always received an e-mail reply relatively quickly. It was always and still is negative. Reason - lack of 50$ rake.Let's see what happens when I earn that commission?

 

[roberto51]

they no longer have a license

Already this information about the expired license for casino games and sports betting, disappeared from the site.

 

[habuca]

I saw yesterday blog on their site and title is - High Stakes Scams. I laughed a lot, what an irony haha.
Probably biggest scammers in poker and gambling industry today, have blog about scammers

[dreamer13]

Private freerolls with prize pools of $250 twice a month. There are regular freerolls available to all players - Daily Freerolls with a prize pool of $25.

Luckily I never deposit. Stay away.

 

[Maxmustdie]

I have not met more impudent scammers in 8 years in poker
they continue to lure in the social. networks to make deposits even after their license was taken away

It seems their license for casino and sports betting has expired. They still have a license for poker.

 

[Maxmustdie]

It looks like their casino and sports betting license has expired. They still have a poker license.

Is that why they haven't paid players money for 3 months?

 

[Niykk]

I would love to reach the bankroll that would allow me to play a highstakes game. Will crush or fail but either way it will be a blast!

 

[10gerka]
