    WSOP.com Nevada charging a $5/month "dormant account" fee

    Hey Todd,

    We are contacting you regarding your WSOP.com Nevada account.

    You have not logged into your account for the past 9 months and as a result, we will begin to implement our dormant account procedure on 14_Jun_2018. Until then, you are free to log into your account to prevent it from becoming dormant.

    The twelve-month period triggering dormant status is calculated from the date you last logged into your WSOP.com account.

    Once your WSOP.com account enters the dormant account period the account will be closed and we will charge a monthly administration fee of $4.99. The administration fee will be deducted from the dormant account balance once each month and will continue to be deducted until the balance of the account has reached zero.

    Todd, should you want to re-activate your WSOP.com account after it has entered the dormant account period, please contact our support department at 1-866-745-2385 or send an email to support@wsop.com.

    Once your account has been re-activated, we will stop charging the administration fee but will not be obligated to reimburse any past fees.

    To review this and all our policies, please view our Terms & Conditions.

    See you at the tables,

    The WSOP.com Player Support Team



    Yeah, maybe my account wouldn't go dormant if you didn't run a failsite which is a perpetual ghost town.

    Party Poker has been doing this literally for years. I believe the threshold to charge you was 60 days of dormancy.

    The day that was announced was the last time I ever logged into my account or opened an email from them.

    This is stupid because it costs them nothing since your funds are segregated.

    I'm sure a few people will forget but it will encourage some people to take their money off the site before leaving Vegas to go home.

    I can't confirm this but I thought I read that you could cash out if you've left Nevada with money in your WSOP account but obviously can't play outside of the state.

    Slightly off topic since a casino site is different but I have the bitpay debit card who does this $5 fee after 3 months of no transactions. Since I barely use it mostly sticking with exchanges I'll leave a $100 on there and run a free debit charge every 2 months for something small like $10. I could close it but if I ever need it again I'd have to pay to get a new one and wait so out of principle I'll just do this move on them.
