I am writing this now because it has come apparent that PokerWhiteBoard.com is officially MIA, and refuses to answer any of it's players.
Many of you probably have never heard of the site. PWB was in beta testing when it opened back in March of 2011. It was suppose to be the brain child of many previous poker industry experts. Whether or not they are/were is beyond me.
Their beta testing model gave benefits to all those who tried their software. Submitting support tickets about bugs, game play, and improvements, all lead you to a higher level. Reaching a higher level means bigger rewards when the site goes live. The initial go live date was set for June 2011. Unfortunately they did not make this date.
Around June 2011, there was approximately 400 players with funds in their real money accounts. Players acquired these funds through Freerolls. At the time around 20 thousand had been given out to the players.
During the months of June and July, the site seemed to be dead. Players were still playing on the site in the cash games and freeroll tournaments, but communication from management was at a stand still. In early August a new Admin showed up on the forum and guaranteed everything was on the up and up. Management used the excuse that with the state of online poker, especially within the USA, they had to stay quiet until things got safe again. Management promised all balances were safe, and that the new live launch date would be September 1st.
Well just like the initial start date the live launch didn't come. We did get word from management that the launch was pushed back to November 1st. In management's words " Because many players have waited so long for the live launch, we are going to add 9 additional free tickets to a 5k event held at the 2012 WSOP ."
Those were the last words from management at PokerWhiteboard.com. Right now they owe approximately 55k in total. Along with 50k in Wsop tournament buyins. 105k isn't a ton of money spread between 400 or so players, but the amount of time many players spent promoting and playing on this site is sickening.
If anyone has any information on who actually ran this site, please reply.
