Poker Nordica The Latest Merge Room Slow Pay

As Gambling911.com first reported a few weeks back, Aced.com, a Merge Poker Network room, was refusing to pay certain players, claiming the funds were held by outside payment processing platform, PIC Club Poker.  Now comes word that yet another Merge room is not paying.

The poker room in question is Poker Nordica.  But this one we would like to update our readers on has a happy ending, having been remedied rather quickly after our initial report.

Here is the complaint received by Gambling911.com:

"I am an online poker player and I am having trouble collecting

$711 dollars from a Merge poker site.I made a cash withdrawal on 10/15/09 and

still havent received my money. I keep getting "the check's in the mail"

from them but, still have not received it."

Poker Nordica did not use the same excuse as Aced.com, a website represented by 2006 World Series of Poker winner Jamie Gold.  Poker Nordica's CEO Mike Eloff acknowledges there were issues that needed to be addressed, mostly with the network itself.  Mr. Eloff has vowed to ensure his brand remains reputable.

Its funny the idiots at g911 don't realize that Merge handles the payment processing and support for all skins. So when Nordica or Aced "don't pay" its not their managements decision at the time. Its merge's support and payment processing team making the decisions. You obviously do know this, but like to be the sleezy mag of the industry and spin stories for your own gain.

Hello all, I am happy to report that I have finally received my payout from Poker Nordica. My thanks go out to G-911 and the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. I would also like to thank Chuck Kidd for putting me in touch with G-911 and the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

That is Great News

So are you going to let us in on the whole story now? Was it a mix up? Wrong address? You didn't check your mail for a few months?

Futurebet owns one of the biggest Merge skins Oddsmaker.com so yes, there could be some problems ahead.

911 wake up please

Does 911 think, that Merge is the only site that has problems processing checks? Please report also about Doylesroom pay delays. They are much worse than Merge, 3 month waiting time for checks and cheap excuses. But obvisouly Doyles is affilated with 911, Merge isn't. Merges Ewalletexpress withdrawls take less than 5 days, so stop reporting biased nonsense.

yes, it's such complete bs.

They may not be using the same excuse as Aced but they are using the very same excuses, and tactics as Carbon Poker, another Merge site.
