I have been playing at Worldwinner.com for about 5 years. I would play pretty infrequently here and there and within the past 4 months I have been playing pretty aggressively.
Worldwinner is a site where you pay money to play in tournaments with other participants and there are cash winnings for each play if you win or place.
They have a system of "fair ranking" that is not fair at all. Its not based upon your ability but also other things like how many games you play (win or not) and how much you spend on tournaments. Since I have been playing quite a bit lately they have been moving me out of the HIGHER ranks and into the Elite Ranks where there are only two tournaments. Nobody plays and there is no chance of winning or playing for the same amounts of money in Higher ranks. The most money available to play for is in the Higher ranks. I have been moved to Elite and then back to Higher ranks in a couple days but have been permanently removed from Higher ranks for good.
To boot, Their own rules state you can have two accounts per household and I set up a subsequent user to play under and they stated the following (and I copied and pasted directly from their email) "This account is a clear duplicate. No two players play the games alike. It is clear after analyzing the game play that the same user is playing on both accounts. All three member accounts also had the same password and the shawnpperry account was created shortly after your original account was placed into elite ranks. The scores and performance on the shawnpperry account warrants that of an elite ranks player, something a new user would not be able to accomplish. Again, the game analysis shows the same user playing on both accounts.
We have refunded the $170 in deposits and voided all winnings. We cannot reopen the account"
Their rules don't say anything of the like - only that you can have two accounts per household - not that your use would be monitored and that we can close your account whenever we feel like it. I am planning legal action against the firm. Please join me in boycotting the firm - I'm not the first one this has happened to and i won't be the last.
