Hi D,
I’d say you’ve still got room to go before getting too concerned but with that said …
some advice that has served me extremely well over the years.
anytime you begin to wonder about a program … spend $50 … and check out the program to see if your money shows up in their stats. personally I prefer to send someone else thru because I’m a paranoid kinda guy that thinks that some of these places will go to the lengths of checking the name on the real money player and of course if its yours … well then of course they’re gonna make sure the deposit shows.
I said $50 but truthfully I think the bigger the deposit made the more likely that program … IF its gonna screw you … will take the shot on the bigger looking players.
I don’t think that’s a concern with some of the bigger programs but some of these upstarts may be cutting corners wherever they can find them.
If nothing else it encourages good relations with your players (if you give them the money to go thru) and puts you in position to periodically talk to the players and that way you can find out where they’re spending their own money and as such … you find out what programs are treating you right and those that aren’t.
I’m not so sure the poker rooms are as likely to cheat you as casinos since the poker rooms make their money not on a players losses but rather on their wins (rakes) so that may not be so relevant in your case but on the other hand there’s nothing like knowing of your own accord instead of walking around wondering all the time.
my 2 cents.
