What's up with PariAction?

PatrickMcIrish · Nov 23, 2003

Sounds lke Ron is on the way out, "can't vouch for players escrow"? I've been tied up a lot the last few days so what has been determined if anything with this? Drop me a line Ron if you want to talk off the forum. Played poker with him several times, always fun to have around. Anyone knows more than this please update us.

Just noticed Devil reassures that no player will have a problem with their money at AllWorld. That's good news. Before Ron I know not long ago Rick was having problems as well. Can't remember if he was out the door or just on the way out before that problem got resolved. Something's not right over there, hopefully it's just personalities not meshing or a little bump in the road. If I get anything I will pass it on. Hope like hell it all gets fixed, good luck Ron!

I think Ron was let go a week or so ago.

Rick is out at the end of the year.

I don't think a postup AllWorld will be around after the superbowl, but I would give big odds that everyone will be paid.

The Main guy who is behind PariAction & All World is the same guy who was behind Ft. Knox. He is very trustworthy and has deep pockets. I have heard he hasn't been happy with the way things are going overall and he may want to decrease his participation in this industry.

With that said, I firmly believe that all gamblers who do business with him will get paid...

This man is unquestionably fair and I have NEVER heard of anyone even questioning his character...

Thanks guys. May be like the BetWorks situation where even if they close all will be taken care of. Somehow I doubt knowing how cynical gamblers are they will wait till the SuperBowl but good to hear nevertheless.

I find it ironic by the way how as players we scream for a shop to make more efforts in protecting the players money but when someone does players don't really respond. Yes I know there were other things that kept some gamblers away but you'd think they would make a statement and always be funded there. Anyway best of luck to all of them, I always got along with the whole bunch over there. Hope for the best for you guys.

Patrick - Good point on the Trust not going over well. I would think it would have done better in an environment when lots of books were going down, but that doesn't really hold up as Aces Gold, Camelot, and others were even bigger and that didn't help them. I guess players are just greedy.

But truthfully, those of us worried about safety likely just played at Olympic, WSEX, WWTS, etc. And with the lines going up late at AllWorld, it wasn't among the user friendliest places to get down. Even up to today, I would feel safer with the above books, than with All World. Trust or no trust.

All the best to Ron and Rick.
