USA Poker Rooms discussion / download problems / sign up problems

[twistyraid]

Just wanted to say that I've had an excellent experience on Bodog Poker after "Black Friday".

They offer solid telephone and email support and I can deposit $20 using my credit card.

I've withdrawn like 4 times and it only takes one week to get your check!

I'm gunna check out some other sites too.  Avoid Cake Poker and any site using the infamous Merge Network (Carbon Poker, Lock Poker, etc).

Thanks for the info Blue!

Hey blue,

Yes Jacob - I'm waiting on a link.  I'll post it as soon as I have it.  You have to earn the bonus though via freerolls.

Hi nipsy510, I have been playing at some of them, but I have not deposited or attempted to withdraw so can't help you there. Good luck!

On another note, is anyone having trouble creating an account at Yoga Poker? I have been trying for an hour now while exchanging emails with the support there and even being provided a link to newer software and still have not been able to create my account. Waiting for a new message from support now... just wondering if anyone else has tried or found this to be the case?

Hi nipsy510, I like Texas Holdem Saloon.  This seems a really good site (as far as I know from my limited experience with them.)

As for depositing/withdrawing, they have a huge amount of options to choose from which can only be a good thing.

Katt - as for Yoga - I've not downloaded it yet.  Did you read the important bit at the bottom of the above post regarding operating systems.  Which operating system are you using?  Have you resolved the problem yet?

[kattboots]

I am on Windows 7 so the operating system stuff does not apply. I have not resolved the issue. They must be checking with techs or something because the first emails came quickly, but I have not heard from them this last time.

I have done all the usual stuff like emptying my cache, rebooting my system, complete uninstalls followed by new installs of the original link software and a new 2.0 link they sent me and none of it is working.

What happens is that I get to the set up account page and pick a screen name and a username which both tell me they are available. Then I fill in the rest of the blanks and push the Sign Up button and it tells me that the screen name is already in use. I have tried at least 6 different screen names and always get the same result.

Are you willing to try it and see if it works for you? All I can do at this point is wait for another email as I don't know what else to try from my end.

Thanks

Thanks Katt.  Yes I will try it and I'm Windows 7 too.

I'll get back to you on that.

No probs here Katt.  Did you try reloading the registration page?  Which explorer are you using?

blue

[kattboots]

I am using IE8 and no, I did not reload the registration page if you don't count the many times I tried and restarted my computer.

Let me ask you this... did you use the registration page you get after you download the software or did you find one on their website? I have been using the one that comes up after the download, not on their site.

thanks

katt

EDIT: Ok, I went back and took a slightly different path to the registration screen. Then I put it in compatibility mode, then I refreshed the screen, then I F5 reloaded the screen, then I filled out the form and added numbers to the end of my screen name and my user name and after that it all worked!

  You are welcome to call on me anytime... we can take turns saying "Duh" and slapping our foreheads... or we can slap each others... noooooo maybe not...

[blueday]

You two crack me up. 

I was using Firefox and I downloaded and then clicked "Login" in the lobby, and then "sign up" which loaded the web page in my browser. 

Glad you got it sorted Katt.   Let your challenge begin!

Thanks blue! Good thing I did get it worked out for myself... the last advice they gave me (after I got it going) was, "Just try."
