Here is the long thread Kevin mentioned.
Many people here at CAP have had problems with Paradise — read the long thread and you’ll see….
It is true, Paradise was decertified recently because they are owned by Sportingbet.
(Sportingbet has been blacklisted on my site, by the way).
One other tip — if you’re looking to replace Paradise with a different poker room, don’t bother with Absolute Poker. I recently had someone deposit $100 there, and I made only $0.34. Yes, that’s right — 34 cents from a $100 deposit. You can probably do better elsewhere.
