Tropical Poker Missing in Action and Presumed Asleep

2/1/2008 8:59:12 AM

In Costa Rica, where TropicalPoker.com is located, ‘Tico Time’ is a popular expression. It simply means that if a Costa Rican makes an appointment, they may not show up when you expect them to. It could be tomorrow or the next day. Or it could be in two weeks. Maybe even a month. It is now apparent that Tropical Poker must be operating on ‘Tico Time.’ Around the end of October 2007 when they first went offline, they claimed they were doing maintenance and data migration, were in the final stages of their upgrade, and expected to be back online soon. Then in the beginning of December, a message appeared on their website informing players they would be re-opening in January 2008. Well, January has come and gone and not only are they still offline, they still have the January notice up on their site.

It would be nobody’s business but their own if the management of Tropical Poker chose to operate on ‘Tico Time’ or any other time of their choosing, except for one fact: They still owe players money. This is shameful, unfair, and inexcusable. Players who deposited on this site in good faith deserve far better treatment than this. PokerRoomReview urges the management of TP to come clean and open an honest dialogue with your depositors. If your intentions are honorable, let them be known. The players are entitled to know if you intend to live up to your obligations. Anything else is unacceptable.
