A large gaming company called Amaya purchased the Ongame Network from bwin.party in late 2012.

A report recently surfaced that, on the date of purchase (November 2012), Ongame only had 31% of the money on deposit -- $4.9 million in cash, with $15.7 million in liabilities to the players.

This isn't qiute as bad as it seems, as Ongame was backed by bwin.party, meaning that player balances would have likely been paid even if Ongame had gone under.

However, it's indicative of the culture at these online poker companies, and more clear that UB, Full Tilt, and now Lock Poker are far from the exceptions to the rule.

In general, your money on deposit is not segregated, and it's always at risk.

This does not apply to Pokerstars, which has proven for years to have segregated their player balances.

Amaya claims that this situation at Ongame is in the past, and that funds are now segregated.
