Hello David,
Thank you for your email.
I have looked into your playing history for Tournament #34146920 and
found that you missed a substantial portion of this tournament. As we
consider you a valued player at PokerStars I have issued a credit of
$22.00 to your account.
Please understand again that we did not suffer any server-side
problems or disconnection during this tournament. Your problems seem
to have been local to your computer or ISP; otherwise many players
would have been disconnected, and that wasn't the case.
Part of the inherent risk of playing poker on the Internet is the
possibility that Internet connections may fail for any number of
reasons. From a practical business standpoint, it is impossible for
us to be responsible for the Internet connections of our players.
Please note rule 8 of the tournament rules located at:
http://www.pokerstars.com/tournamentsrules.html
This rule states, in part:
By participating in a tournament, a player accepts the risk of
Internet disconnection, due to the problems with the connection
between their computer and the servers, lag or freeze or some
other problem in the player's computer. PokerStars does not accept
any responsibility for a player disconnect except in the case of
a server crash."
For these reasons, we cannot make a practice of refunding tournament
buy-ins and hope to continue running profitable tournaments.
In closing, we appreciate your business and hope that you continue to
enjoy playing at PokerStars.
Regards,
Libertad
PokerStars Support Team
