As some of you know I’m the current WSOP online player of the year. I’m currently up well north of 150k since January. On Monday I logged into my account and saw it was temporaril my disabled. I checked my ceasers rewards account which is well on the way to seven stars this year (connected to my wsop account) and it was also deactivated.
I called wsop they could give me no answers and assured me I would get a call within 72 hours to get to the bottom of this.
My next step was to go to caesars palace where after 10 min of waiting I was escorted off property by security. Two days of phone calls, handwritten letters and emails and I was finally promised a phone call from Danielle Barille over at caesars/wsop.
Today (Friday 4 days after my ban I receive the call) I was informed that because I withdrew several amounts in February under 10k that my account was now frozen until I provided tax returns from the last two years, even tho the vast majority of my wins are in 2021. I have several withdrawals north of 10k including two above 35k. All my recent withdrawals have been 13k+.
They demanded I send them my last two years of tax forms which I did immediately but they won’t give me an answer till next week.
The whole thing is absurd, has anyone heard of this happening? They removed me from player of the year and the circuit leaderboard as well. I’m just at a loss for words
TLDR: wsop player of the year banned for taking too much $ out of my account, losing valuable time on the leaderboard
