Not sure how much longer that will be going on for

There is a cost associated with hosting all of those play money games

Don't really care that much about the poker to be honest, just use facebook to keep in touch with a lot of people these days. Having my account suspended/deleted would be a real pain ni the arse.

I can understand why you play it - for the fun - but I can't grasp why FB would think of it as being serious enough to ban people over. Actually I can't understand why anyone would pay to "buy/transfer" chips either.

People buy chips for real cash, I think is the issue.

Least going by the pretty regular stream of people jumping on tables and offering chips for sale ...

Reasons, I dunno. Same reasons people spend real money on MMORPG characters, money and items. Kinda sad but it happens.

Yep.

I had 160mill (Now appear to have 300k so a whole chunk has gone missing which I didn't lose, and now I'm suspicious of) ).

Lost all-in on a flush on the flop with a k to a guy who had the ace flush, and again to the same guy a few hands later - had a run straight to a on 4th card, and a flush flopped on the river. Killed me both times.

Yep, done that already. Like I said, that was my first thought.

i think it's legit. I'm usually pretty savvy with these things.

No, it's genuine. That was my first thought.

But been researching it and all looks legit.

I can still get into the poker app and they've taken my other 70 mill off me as well. Either that or someone hacked my account previously, and deliberately lost the rest ... hadn't considered that ...

Only thing I can think of is I lost 70 mill over two hands last night to the same guy, but that was genuine (And it hurt). Got beat all-in. twice, on a run to ace by a flush, and worse by an ace flush on my king flush.

WTF?
