Default I'm new here

I am new here, I have been stung on line and now I warn others to use caution.


Warning!
Good day to all who read this, please be careful when depositing funds to Pokerhost, I made the electronic handshake via PIC CLUB, I deposited 30$ to Poker host, I then won 40$ by finishing 3rd in the PIC CLUB 5$ buy in game. I requested a withdraw of my newly deposited funds and my winnings from the buy in tourney back to my PIC CLUB account.
I was informed by Pokerhost that my withdraw request would be granted only after I played through 110$ rake, this was because I won 55$ in a freeroll 2 months earlier.


I WON SOME FREEROLL MONEY (55$), I LOST THAT MONEY THRU BUY INS AND CASH TABLES, MY ACCOUNT WAS AT ZERO, I DEPOSITED 20$ thru "PIC CLUB" AND BOUGHT INTO A PIC CLUB 5$ TOURNEY, I FINISHED 3RD AND WAS AWARDED 39$, I REQUESTED A WITHDRAW BACK TO PIC CLUB, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO MEET RAKE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FREEROLL MONEYS FIRST BEFORE I COULD WITHDRAW THE MONEY I HAD JUST DEPOSITED OR THE MONEY I WON IN THE BUY IN TOURNEY.

Poker Freeroll Rules

In order for players to withdrawal winnings from online poker freerolls, a requirement of 10 qualifying raked hands or $2 in rake per $1 won in the freeroll must be met. Qualifying raked hands for poker freerolls are those hands played at a minimum of $0.25 / $0.50 Pot Limit / No Limit or $1 / $2 Fixed Limit tables. The pot needs to be of a minimum of $0.25 and the player must contribute to it, in order for the hand to be considered as a qualifying raked hand.

Warning!

The current policy at Pokerhost is that no funds can be withdrawn from a players account until all freeroll winnings have been rolled over at a rate of 2 to 1 in loyalty points.

What this means is that you are required to pay 2$ in rake to free up 1$ in winnings. For example, you win 50$ in a freeroll, you must play through 100$ in rake before any withdraw is granted (Any moneys you deposited are also frozen until this requirement is completed.).

Thanks for the info....played at PokerHost a handful of years ago and never liked it that much honestly. They also have a bad history of paying out affiliates.
